FAQ
Mobile app development questions
FlutterFlow vs custom Flutter — which do we need?
FlutterFlow gets most apps to launch fastest. When a screen or integration needs something FlutterFlow can’t do, our senior developers write custom Flutter code directly into the same project — you never have to choose one or the other up front.
Can you build for iOS and Android at the same time?
Yes — that’s the point of one Flutter codebase. Both platforms launch together, not one after the other.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code, Supabase or Firebase project, developer accounts and store listings are all in your name.
What happens after launch?
Most clients move to the Post-Launch MVP Retainer (R15,000 – R35,000/ month) — fixes, releases and new features driven by what your first users actually do.
