In this post, you will read how much salary you can get as a Flutter Developer. So before starting let’s know more about Flutter. Flutter is an open-source UI SDK created by Google to enable the development of cross-platform applications.
It Owns the ability of Hot Reload, & enables faster and more dynamic mobile app development while giving a UI of native apps with no difference in look & feel between different upgrades/versions of Android/ iOS.
Owing to these reasons many famous Apps like Google Ads, Groupon, Apps from Alibaba/ Tencent, etc. have been built on Flutter Framework. This in turn has created a demand for Flutter App Developers in India. So, the question
How much does it cost to hire Flutter app developers Worldwide comparision?
Here’s our Question to you and how you can create a strategy if you are looking to hire Flutter Developers
- Business Model: Are you planning to have a full in-house development team or outsource it based on the requirement of App Development or upgrade?
- Type of Engagement: Are you looking to have Full Time or Part Time/ Hourly Freelancers. While the in-house development team will need full-time employees, outsourced jobs can be negotiated on hourly rate OR work contracts.
- Geographical Location: Team’s location also has a role in the salary component of employees. The rate for flutter developers based in the USA ($ 75-120/ Hr.) & western Europe ($ 70-95/ Hr.) is much costlier than countries having a larger talent pool like India ($35-40/ Hr.) & China ($ 40-55/ Hr.). The high costs in the USA/ Europe are compensated to an extent by higher productivity in these locations.
- Type of App: Efforts needed to develop an app depends on its complexity – from simple fundamental apps to multifaceted apps like those needing data authentication, being dynamic (eCommerce), or meeting on-demand requirements (Ride-hailing apps). An approximate cost to develop UI/UX of apps in Flutter varies from $2,000 – $7000 for fundamental apps with simple features. It goes up to $8,000 – $35,000 for apps with moderate features, and it may further go up to $200K for complex apps. This variation in cost is present as increased complexity not only requires more hours to develop the app but would also need higher expertise of developers who are in turn in short supply.

- Budget Outlay:The choices are also constrained by the available budget. While an unconstrained budget may allow selecting the best in-house team, it is usually not the case with bootstrapped start-ups. The budget would also need to factor the hardware costs, app store charges, maintenance & updating costs besides the costs of app development. A rough back of the envelope budgeting can include:
- App development costs: $5,000 for a simple app requiring an Indian developer spending ~100 hours for development. The app complexity may increase this cost.
- Hardware rental costs: Server rentals from a reliable service provider can start from $1600/annum and may increase with higher rental space depending on customer requirement.
- App store charges: Releasing a finished app into an app store has its own charges like Apple has charges of $99/annum along with 30% for in-app purchases.
- Maintenance/ updating costs: The budget should also provide for 20-25% of costs such as annual maintenance/ updates to keep the app relevant with time.
Hence, a judicious & in-depth analysis is needed to fit the right strategy as per the available budget.
On a first look, making the above choices may look tricky & unnerving but with proper requirement definition and homework, hiring the right developers is possible.
Flutter is an incredibly brilliant technology whose usage is rapidly growing worldwide leading to a huge demand for flutter developers.
