Answer eight short questions and see a typical 2026 price range and timeline for your app. Every estimate maps to the cost tiers Dartitude publishes for Flutter projects. One Flutter codebase covers Android and iOS, so you price one build, not two. No email needed to see your result.

Your answers decide the smallest tier that can hold your app, then two published adjustments apply. You always get a range and the reasons behind it.
Your Features Set the Tier
Each answer matches the "usually includes" line of a tier. Payments, maps, chat or an admin panel mean a mid-complexity app; real-time features or advanced security mean a complex app.
Only Published Adjustments
A custom backend adds roughly $10,000 to $50,000, when your app sits below the complex tier, which already includes one. Each extra platform, such as web or desktop, typically adds 15 to 25%.
A Range, Not a Quote
Two apps with the same features can differ in screens, design and data. The range shows that honestly; a single number would not.

These are the same typical 2026 ranges listed on our Flutter app development services page. The calculator reads them directly, so the two can never disagree. For a longer explanation, read our Flutter app development cost guide.
| App type | Typical cost | Timeline | Usually includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple MVP | $10,000 to $30,000 | 6 to 12 weeks | Core screens, sign-in and a ready-made backend such as Firebase |
| Mid-complexity app | $30,000 to $80,000 | 3 to 6 months | Payments, maps or chat, third-party integrations and an admin panel |
| Complex app | $80,000 to $150,000 | 6 to 9 months | Real-time features, a custom backend and advanced security |
| Enterprise app | $150,000+ | 9 to 18 months | Many user roles, large-scale traffic and compliance requirements |
Within a tier, these six factors decide where your app lands. We price each one in your written estimate.
Features and Screens
The number of screens, and how much logic sits behind each one, drives cost the most. Sign-in might add $1,500 to $3,000; in-app chat $3,000 to $8,000.
Design Depth
Design usually takes 10 to 20% of the budget. Standard components cost less than custom animations, illustrations and a full design system.
Backend and Integrations
Firebase covers many apps up to about 100,000 users. A custom backend adds roughly $10,000 to $50,000, and every outside system adds testing time.
Platforms
Flutter gives you Android and iOS together. Each extra platform, such as web or desktop, typically adds 15 to 25%.
Security and Compliance
Apps that handle health or payment data need extra work on encryption, audit logs and data storage rules.
Team Model
A fixed-price project suits a clear scope, and a dedicated team suits a product that keeps changing. Both are explained below.
Most mobile app development cost calculators assume two separate apps. Flutter builds Android and iOS from one codebase with one team, which is why our tiers cover both stores. Read more about cross-platform app development services.
| Criteria | One Flutter app | Separate native apps |
|---|---|---|
| Codebase | One for Android and iOS | Two, one per platform |
| Team you need | One Flutter team | An iOS team and an Android team |
| Code shared across Android and iOS | Nearly all of it | None |
| New features | Reach both stores in the same release | Built and tested twice |
| Web and desktop | Web, Windows, macOS and Linux from the same code | A separate build for every platform |
The model changes how you pay, not the estimate. We do not bill by the hour.
Fixed Price Project
Best when you know what version one needs. We agree on the scope, timeline and price up front, then deliver against agreed milestones, so your budget is set before work starts.
Dedicated Flutter Team
Best for products that keep growing. Flutter developers work only on your app, full time or part time, and report to you like your own team. See how to hire Flutter developers from us.

Design to Launch in One Team
Design, development, testing and store release happen in one team, so the estimate you approve is the team that delivers it.
