FlutterFlow
Build native mobile apps.
What it is
FlutterFlow is a visual app builder that allows you to create high-performance, native mobile applications for iOS and Android using Google's Flutter framework. Unlike other 'no-code' builders that produce slow web-wrappers, FlutterFlow produces real, clean code that you can export and customize. With deep integrations for Firebase and Supabase, it is the top choice for founders looking to build a high-end mobile app with professional performance and modern design in record time.
Key features
Visual Action Builder
Build complex app logic and navigation through a visual workflow editor.
Firebase Integration
Easily set up databases, authentication, and push notifications with one click.
Custom Widgets
Write your own Dart code to create unique elements not found in the library.
App Store Deploy
Submit your app to the Apple App Store and Google Play directly from the panel.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works well
- True Native Apps: High-speed performance that feels like a 'real' application.
- Code Export: You own your code; download it and customize it in VS Code anytime.
- Deep Integration: Built-in support for Firebase, Google Maps, and Stripe.
- Visual Design: Pixel-perfect control over your app's UI with a modern builder.
Where it falls short
- Complexity: Mastering Flutter's layout logic (widgets, etc.) takes time.
- Pricing: The free version is quite limited; professional features require a subscription.
- Update Cycle: You must periodically update your app to keep up with Flutter versions.
Who it is for

- You need a custom domain: free publishes to a FlutterFlow subdomain
- You need more than 2 API endpoints or 2 projects on the free tier

Growth is $80 per month for the first seat ($55 for the second) with real-time collaboration for 2, GitHub integration, the VS Code extension and 2 open branches.
