Shift Squad - Healthcare Staffing App
We built Shift Squad to close nurse staffing gaps. Healthcare facilities find qualified nurses for temporary or permanent roles in a few taps, in an app built to comply with HIPAA.
Dartitude's Flutter consulting services answer the big questions before you spend on a build: Flutter, native or FlutterFlow, which architecture, what the backend and any AI features need, and who should be on the team. You get a written recommendation and an estimate you can plan around, whether or not you build with us.
















Advice for apps that are not built yet. If you already have code, start with a Flutter app audit instead.
Whether the app can be built as described, with what risks, and what has to be checked first: store rules, device features and third-party SDKs.
An honest pick for your app, including where parts need native Kotlin or Swift code and when we would not use Flutter at all.
Project structure, state management, packages and a testing plan agreed before the first sprint.
Firebase or a custom API, sign-in, payments, maps and offline data, and what each choice costs to run.
Whether an AI feature is worth building, a cloud model or on-device, and what it means for cost, speed and privacy.
The roles and seniority the build needs, and whether to hire in-house, build with us or both. See how to hire Flutter developers .
What goes in the first release and what waits, with a written cost and timeline estimate for it.
For most new apps that need Android and iOS on one budget, Flutter is the strongest default. Native wins when the app is built around one platform's hardware or OS features, and FlutterFlow wins when speed to a first version matters more than custom code. We work in Flutter, and we will say so when your app needs something else. More detail: Flutter vs React Native and Flutter vs FlutterFlow.
| Question | Flutter | Native (Kotlin and Swift) | FlutterFlow | React Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pick it when | You need Android and iOS, and maybe web or desktop, from one codebase and one budget | The app depends on platform-only features or must feel exactly like each OS | You need a working first version fast and the screens are fairly standard | Your team already writes JavaScript and React every day |
| Watch out for | Some device SDKs need a little native platform code | Two codebases, two teams and two release tracks | Custom logic and complex state get harder as the app grows | Heavy animation and some native modules need extra work |
| Team you need | One Flutter team | An iOS team and an Android team | A FlutterFlow developer, plus Flutter help for custom code | One React Native team, often with native help |
| First release | Fast: one build for both stores | Slower: each platform is built separately | Fastest for simple apps | Fast for teams already in React |
| Later path | Grows with the product; web and desktop from the same code | Already native | Export the Flutter code and continue with a hand-written Flutter team | Stays in JavaScript; moving to Flutter later is a migration |
| What Dartitude offers | Design, build, audit and maintenance | Kotlin and Swift developers for hire | FlutterFlow builds and FlutterFlow developers | Migration of React Native apps to Flutter |
The choices that are cheap to make on day one and expensive to change after launch.
An approach sized to your app and your team, not a favorite library.
Feature modules and layers that let new features land without breaking old ones.
Maintained, well-licensed packages, and the ones to avoid before you depend on them.
How screens, links from emails and notifications, and web URLs fit together.
Tests on the flows that matter and automated builds from the first sprint.
Data storage, sign-in and privacy needs, built to comply with HIPAA or GDPR where they apply.
Most AI features are feasible in Flutter; the real questions are cost per use, response time and where user data goes. We answer those before you commit. Read our Flutter AI roadmap or see Flutter AI app development.
Cloud models like Gemini or on-device ML Kit: when each fits your feature, your users and your data rules.
Cloud models bill per use, so we look at how cost grows with your users and where limits belong.
A ready-made backend for speed, or your own server and database for control, sized to your scale.
Payments, maps, health data and hardware SDKs checked for Flutter support before you sign anything.

Talk through your idea and get first answers on the stack, the risks and the rough cost.
Workshops with your team, then the recommendation, technical plan and estimate, at a fixed price agreed after the first call.
Continue with a fixed price project or a dedicated team, or take the plan elsewhere. See our app development cost calculator for typical build ranges.
Six steps from your first message to a plan you can act on.
Consulting is for an app that does not exist yet, an audit is for code that already exists, and development is the build itself.
| Question | Flutter consulting | Flutter app audit | Flutter app development |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where you are | An idea, a spec or a prototype; no production code yet | A Flutter app already built, live or inherited | Scope agreed, ready to build |
| The question it answers | What should we build, with what, and for how much? | What state is our code in, and what do we fix first? | Who builds it, and when does it go live? |
| What we look at | Your goals, features, users, integrations and constraints | Your code, builds, crash data and store setup | Designs, sprints, tests and releases |
| What you get | A written recommendation, technical plan, scoped features and estimate | Ranked findings, a roadmap and a keep, refactor or rebuild call | A working app in both stores, with the code in your repository |
| Code written | None | None; read-only access | Yes |
| Typical price | First call free; discovery at a fixed price agreed after the call | $5,000 to $16,000; enterprise audits quoted after scoping | $10,000 to $30,000 for a simple MVP |
| Typical length | Agreed in the proposal | 1 to 4 weeks | 6 to 12 weeks for a simple MVP |
| Next step | Build with us or take the plan anywhere | Fix with your team or ours | Maintenance and new features |
Consulting pays off when a big decision is still open. When it is not, we will point you to the right service instead.
