Flutter & FlutterFlow Developer
in Surat, India.

It depends on scope rather than on a rate card: screen count, whether a backend already exists, how much custom design is involved, and how many user roles the app needs. Hiring an individual developer directly also costs less than an agency for the same work, because you are not funding account management. I quote per project after a scoping conversation, and there is a full breakdown of what drives the number on my Flutter app development cost guide.

Yes, remotely. I work Indian Standard Time, which shares several comfortable working hours with the UK, Europe and the Middle East, overlaps early in my morning for Australia, and covers US early-morning hours — East Coast comfortably, West Coast with a scheduled call slot plus written updates between. I set the overlap out region by region rather than claiming every time zone is equally convenient.

FlutterFlow if you need something in front of real users soon and the feature set is mostly standard — forms, lists, authentication, Firestore. Hand-written Flutter if the product depends on custom animation, complex offline behaviour, or an architecture several developers will work in. I build both, so I have no stake in the answer, and there is a full side-by-side comparison on my Flutter vs FlutterFlow page.

A focused app with a handful of screens and a working API is a matter of weeks. Something with authentication, payments, real-time data and an admin side is a matter of months. The biggest variable is usually not the app but whether the data it needs already exists somewhere accessible. I give a stage-by-stage estimate after the discovery call rather than a single number up front.

Often, yes, and a good share of my work is exactly that. I read the codebase first and give you an honest written assessment: what is salvageable, what needs refactoring, and whether a rewrite would genuinely be cheaper than repair. Sometimes the answer is that the existing code is fine and the problem lies elsewhere — I would rather tell you that than bill you for a rebuild you do not need.

Yes, and it is the main reason to choose Flutter. The interface is drawn by Flutter itself rather than mapped onto native components, so your screens look the same on both platforms. The exceptions are platform-specific behaviour — permissions, push notification setup, in-app purchases, some hardware access — which needs configuring separately per platform. That work is real but a small fraction of the project.

You own it from the first commit, and I will sign your NDA before you describe the product in any detail. Work happens in your own repository wherever possible, so you can see progress as it happens rather than receiving a zip file at the end, and you can walk away with everything at any point. I do not reuse client code in other projects.

Launch is usually when the useful feedback starts arriving. Every project includes a bug-fix period after release, and I stay available afterwards for feature work, Flutter SDK upgrades and the store policy changes Apple and Google periodically require. None of that is compulsory — if you have an in-house team taking over, I document the project and hand it across.
