Original: The 30-40% cross-platform saving, in actual rupees (India, 2026)

Short summary

An Indian dev studio breaks down real cross-platform savings in rupees: a medium-complexity app costs ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000 via Flutter versus 150–180% of that for two native codebases. The real savings come not from the UI layer but from halved test suites, CI pipelines, release trains, and ongoing OS-update maintenance. Native is justified only for hardware-heavy or platform-specific apps.

  • Cross-platform build costs ₹1L–₹2.5L for a medium app in India vs 150–180% for dual native
  • Biggest savings are in test suites, CI, release management, and perpetual OS-update maintenance — not UI code
  • Native justified only for hardware-heavy, background-processing, or platform-specific apps
