What to Look For in a Flutter App Development Agency
So that’s our top 6 picks for Flutter developers in America. Why only 6, surely there are hundreds of agencies that can build Flutter apps?
This is true, but we didn’t want to overwhelm you with a long list where you get lost in the noise. These 6 are ones we would personally work with, and can be a good starting point for you.
You’ll want to look around yourself and do your own research, so we’re going to share a few of our tips for choosing the right Flutter developer.
There are a few characteristics that every solid Flutter developer should have:
- Expertise in Flutter and Dart: the agency must have proven experience in Flutter and be skilled in programming in Dart, Flutter’s programming language. Check their portfolio for previous Flutter projects and make sure you ask for case studies and client references - every good agency will be happy to provide them.
- Cross-Platform expertise: Flutter is popular for its ability to run on multiple platforms from a single codebase. This also comes with nuances and tradeoffs - which should be explained to you in a transparent manner
- Strong design skills: Flutter is famous for its rich UI design possibilities, so look for an agency with proven design chops and a history of building slick and user-friendly interfaces
- Performance optimization: the performance of Flutter apps is very dependent on how they are built, and the skill of the developers - ask them about their approach and strategies
- Strong communication: you’ll be spending a lot of money and time working with them, so make sure they’re very responsive, prompt, and willing to engage in thorough and regular updates throughout the process.
There are a few actions you need to typically take yourself to make sure you get the most accurate impression of each.
The first thing is to define your requirements clearly.
You should have a solid idea of your app’s core purpose, target user, core features - and specific requirements like integrations and compliance. This will help them to speed up the process and move forward productively.
Good agencies will tend to ask important and insightful questions, and maybe teach you a few things in the process or identify potential issues you hadn’t considered.
Getting a Proposal
If you get a good vibe from an agency and want to move to the next stage, ask them to create a proposal.
A good proposal will quote a price and timeline, and also outline how they intend to solve any unique challenges.
Quality app development costs money, and although Flutter apps are cheaper and more efficient compared to native development, they’ll typically cost $100k+ and take several months to build. Make sure this aligns with your budget and requirements.
They should also make it clear whether they support you with the launch, post-launch bug fixes, and ongoing routine updates and maintenance. Agencies typically do this to an extent but it varies. It’s ideal if they offer full support as the apps scale and require maintenance in the future.
Red Flags
You should do plenty of research and check around on each agency. Good starting points are platforms like G2, Clutch, LinkedIn and good old fashioned Google. It is also a good idea to try to contact past clients and get some first hand feedback on their work.
There are a few potential red flags to keep an eye out for too.
The first is costs or timelines that seem too good to be true. No legitimate agency is going to make you high-performance apps for under $10k and in weeks. Only MobiLoud can do that, and we aren’t an agency.
Vagueness and a lack of detail and depth in the proposal are also bad signs. They should be clear about the scope, timelines and cost.
A key one is communication. If they are poor communicators and unresponsive before you’ve handed over any money - it is unlikely to improve after!
Why not convert your site to native apps instead?
If you keep the advice above in mind, you have a better chance of finding the right Flutter developer for you.
But, do you actually need one?
Remember that even the most efficient Flutter developers will take several months and bill you tens of thousands to build simple apps.
At MobiLoud, we build you apps that are just as good, in weeks (not months) and for a fraction of the price.
This is possible because our approach is very different to Flutter development.
We do not build apps “from scratch”, but rather convert your existing site to high-end iOS and Android apps.
If you already have a mobile-friendly web app, online store, or website - you already have everything you need.
We take that foundation, then using our platform - developed over 5+ years and thousands of apps - to add all native app pieces to ensure a great app UX.
Your apps will have all the features you need to succeed, like push notifications, native navigation, and much more. They’ll update automatically with your site, and from your user’s perspective will look and feel just like a native app.
The affordable cost and efficiency of our approach eliminates 90%+ of the risk. You can get to market fast, with great apps, for an extremely low cost compared to other routes.
Our model is proven over 2000+ apps, for businesses ranging from small startups to large enterprises and multibillion dollar brands. Check out some of their stories.
