When it comes to mobile app development, the debate between Flutter and Native is no longer just about performance or aesthetics - it’s abou
Total Cost of Ownership with Flutter vs Native (2026-2028)
When planning a mobile app, one big question often comes up - should you build with Flutter or go Native? From 2026 to 2028, the real difference isn’t just in speed or looks, but in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) - how much you spend to build, maintain, and scale your app.
Flutter, backed by Google, uses a single codebase for iOS and Android. That means faster launches, easier updates, and up to 40–50% lower costs over time. Native apps, built separately for each platform, still deliver top performance but come with higher expenses for development and maintenance.
If your goal is to save time, cut costs, and stay scalable, Flutter is a strong bet. But if you need advanced performance or deep device integration, Native remains a solid long-term choice. The key is balancing your business goals with smart tech decisions.
