Cross-platform app development for iOS and Android
Most businesses need their app on both iPhone and Android. Cross-platform app development lets one team build both from a single codebase, so features ship together and there's only one app to maintain.
At a glance
- One codebase for iOS and Android
- Flutter or React Native
- Near-native performance
- Both app stores handled at launch
What is cross-platform app development?
Cross-platform app development is building one mobile app that runs on both iOS and Android from a shared codebase, using frameworks such as Flutter or React Native. Both versions get the same features and design, and updates go out to both platforms at once.
Services
What we build
We choose between Flutter and React Native based on your design, team and existing tech.
Flutter apps
Custom, brand-led designs that look identical on both platforms.

A strong choice when your team already works with React.
Shared backends
One API and database serving your app and website.
Native modules

Native to cross-platform rebuilds
Combine two separate apps into one codebase.
Maintenance and updates
Framework upgrades, OS updates and new features.
Is it right for you?
When cross-platform is the right call

- You're testing an idea and want to reach everyone
Compare
Cross-platform vs native apps
For most business apps, cross-platform is the practical choice.
| Compare | Cross-platform | Native |
|---|---|---|
| Codebases | One | Two |
| Releases | Both platforms together | Each platform separately |
| Device features | Most features, sometimes through plugins | Everything, immediately |
| Best for | Business, retail and service apps | Graphics-heavy or hardware-heavy apps |
