Flutter and Xamarin are both popular cross-platform tools used to build mobiles apps. They allow developers to use the same code base to save time and resources for developers and in turn, save costs for businesses for development and long-term maintenance. Flutter is an offering from Google and is considered fairly new with it being launched in 2017, especially when compared to the veteran Xamarin. Created by Microsoft, Xamarin has been around for over a decade and revolutionised cross-platform mobile app development. According to Statista, Flutter is the most used cross-platform app mobile framework by developers across the world in 2021.

From our longstanding experience, we have found that they both provide a number of benefits and come with certain limitations, which we will explore further in this article. Here is the breakdown of Flutter Vs Xamarin that will help you decide how to choose the right technology for your mobile app project.

Although it’s a fairly new platform, with Google backing it, developers can expect to see further developments and benefits to come in the upcoming years. Our mobile app developers have expertise in both and have found over the years that each technology provides unique advantages to specific customer requirements. Therefore, we continue to use both technologies to meet our client's unique needs and goals.
