The summary in 30 seconds
- Flutter: one codebase for both platforms — less time and cost, and excellent performance for most apps.
- Native: the best choice if you need very special device capabilities.
- Flutter is a great fit for most store, service and booking apps.
The difference, simply put
With native you write the Android app in one language and the iOS app in another — meaning two teams or double the effort. With Flutter you write the code once and it ships on both platforms, with a fast, smooth interface.
