Let us discuss why there is rising demand for Flutter developers.
Flutter is definitely the most sought-after technology of Generation Alpha. Software engineers are flocking to be called “Flutter developers”. And as they say, supply is directly proportional to demand, there are hundreds of thousands of developers who register themselves in the flutter community to become ace Flutter developers.
Even though flutter technology’s learning curve is easy, not everybody succeeds. The implementation is solely dependent on the skills of software developers. And the ones who master it, are hired by the top Flutter development companies.
This leaves you with very limited options for hiring Flutter developers and that is where any CTO’s and CEO’s vulnerability lies. Nevertheless, we have simplified the hiring process to a great extent.

How can you utilize Flutter at its best?
Flutter’s package ecosystem extends support to multiple hardware and services. In order to know how you can make the best use of Flutter, it is important for you to know what you are building.
Meaning, do you want to build a music streaming application or a journal app like Reflectly, or a game application?
Your application type can be categorized into three different groups, small, medium, or large-sized applications.
| Small size app | Medium size app | Enterprise app | |
| Development time | 2 to 3 months | Up to 4 months | 8 to 10 months |
| Cost of app development | Under $10,000 | Between $10,000 to $30,000 | Can go up to $1,00,000 |
- Small-sized applications mean apps that take a few months to develop and have very few functionalities.
Small-sized applications will give your business visibility and can be built at a very cost-effective price (hardly costs $10000). It is the best choice when you are running with minimum time and effort.
- Medium-sized applications are applications that can take a little longer than 4 months to develop. It has more functionalities than small-sized applications and has a medium level of complexity.
The budget range of medium-sized applications is usually between $10,000 to $30,000. However, for this app-sized development, you will need developers having experience of nearly 2 years in Flutter.
- Enterprise-sized or large applications may take around 8-10 months for app development. They include a lot of third-party integration, interactive UIs, complex architecture, and a pool of functions. The development cost may happen to fall between $30,000 to $1,00,000. However, the cost factor may vary depending on a lot of factors that we will discuss in the next segments.
Let us explain this by citing an app types example here:
| App type | Features: | Expected time of completion | Charges |
| On-demand app | Signup, add to cart, order status, payment gateway integration, User profile, and GPS support. | Up to 500 hours | Under $10,000 |
| Music streaming | Streaming protocols, chatbox, push notifications, multiple third-party integrations, camera usage, etc, | Up to 700 hours | Between $10,000 to $30,000 |
| Game app | 2D,3D animations, voice notes, chat box,multiple integrations, notifications, user profile | Up to 1000 hours | Can go up to $1,00,000 |
Once you know what you want to build using Flutter, it is the time to connect yourself with an elite & experienced Flutter development company.
The experts can very well explain how you can use hot reload functions, widget integrations, and a lot more that Flutter has to offer. Flutter has that x-factor required to develop a cluster-free app. You can read more about how flutter works here.
Also, it is equally important to know when you should switch to Flutter.
When will you know that you need Flutter for app development?
Flutter’s implementation can be gigantic. If you wish to develop a 2D cross-platform application or a highly demanding app, Flutter is the ultimate choice.
Also, if you are running with a shortage of time and money, Flutter can be your savior.
When should you switch to Flutter?
- It is better to switch to Flutter when your code is going haywire and you do not know what code will change with the function.
- Also, when you desire to launch your app on iOS and Android both, without disturbing the codebase, it is best to switch to Flutter.
- Flutter’s underpinning language is Dart, whose learning curve is easy, which is also one of the reasons why you would find a pool of developers in the market. This will give you huge access to a bundle of Flutter developers for hire.
Is it possible to convert your existing application to Flutter?
Yes!
Do you believe that the above reasons are compelling enough to make a swift switch to Flutter? If you are now thinking about how you will convert your existing app to Flutter, we have got you covered. Please read through the blog.
In all, we can say, Flutter has it all. And it is quite the right decision to choose Flutter for your app development.
The next question is, what to hire and how to hire?
What should be your approach toward hiring? Yes, it matters!
Recruiting teams for your project is the biggest challenge for leaders, especially with a leaner budget(if applicable). But, you have to embrace it and deal with it in a way to maximize outputs.
Here are some of the challenges which you may encounter during the hiring journey.
- You may face difficulty finding quality candidates;
- You have dedicated minimum hiring costs;
- Constant dilemma regards outsourcing the project or building an in-house team;
- You do not have a dedicated hiring team.
These are definitely the top things that you or any CTO or CEO will commensurate about. However, we have tried to place together all your vent offs and provide an easy solution to your question, “how to hire Flutter developers?
How to hire Flutter developers?
The first thing that you need to deal with is to decide whether you want to hire teams that work remotely on your project or developers who would work as in-house teams.
If you are going with the first option, which is outsourcing Flutter development, we have listed an exhaustive guide on our blog page. Please go and read through it.
It shares consequential outcomes of outsourcing and helps you decide on job roles for new hires.
If you are choosing us as your outsourcing partner, here are the various engagement models that you can choose from.
| Hire dedicated developer | Hire a team of dedicated developers | Enterprise hiring | |
| How many developers will you get? | 1 | 2 to 5 | 5 to 9 |
| What will be their working hours? | 8 hours a day | 8 hours a day | Depending on your requirements |
| Progress reports | Send daily | Send daily | As and when requested |
| Communication channel | Skype, Email, Slack, GoogleMeet/Teams | Skype, Email, Slack, GoogleMeet/Teams | Skype, Email, Slack, GoogleMeet/Teams, |
- Note: We also provide various hybrid engagement models where you can outsource some of your project deliveries to us. We can sit together to decide what we can achieve respecting all your clauses.
Now, if you choose to go with the other option, that is nearshore app development, is altogether a new struggle. Both of these options have some pros as well as cons which we can explain in depth when you talk to our executives.
The next question that is imperative in this segment is:
How should you consult a software agency with your Flutter project?
Well, being unprepared shouldn’t be on the list for you by now. This is the stage where you would have to export your project vision & passion to a reliable Flutter development team.
For this to happen, you need to have a clear & crisp understanding of your project. Meaning,
- What is my project about?
- What geography is my main target?
- Do you want to develop a mobile or web app?
- What type of developers and skills do I need?
- What budget do you wish to dedicate?
- Do you want to hire developers or want to hire outsourcing Flutter development teams from a company like Kody Technolab?
- How much do you trust the teams?
- Do you think that the project will be completed in the given time duration?
- What are the project development clauses that you wish to discuss?
When you have the answers to all of these queries, you can directly arrange a conference call with your prospective company or in that case, even with us.

Where will you find the right team of Flutter developers?
Your business deserves the best talent. But convincing developers that you are building a billionaire business, come and be a part of it should be a convincing speech.
With an expected number of 45 million developers by 2030, it seems it will be a world of developers in the coming times. Also, you will find 62% of developers are below 35 years of age. So a young talent pool is on its way to development.
You can say you have access to developers’ hubs located in various geographies. You need to dig deep to find the best tech talent from a variety of networks. If doing this job isn’t a possible solution, you can also hire a recruiting agency and get it done.
Top Countries With The Most Successful Cases of Outsourcing Flutter Developers
- United States
- China
- India
- United Kingdom
- Germany
- Brazil
- Canada
- France
- Russia
- Ukraine
How will you choose your country for outsourcing the project or hiring developers?
The first step to hiring teams is to see if they fit your approaches and culture. Other things to consider on the list are:
- The region you live in;
- The size and type of project;
- Your budget;
- Risks involved
We are just compiling what we have discussed earlier. You should know that you are here to hire based on the skills and experience of the developers.
A skillful developer from a developing country will charge similar to one high-rate developer from a developed country.
In a nutshell,
Higher charges for app development in no way suggest that the ones doing it at a cheaper rate will deliver poor quality.
The United States without a doubt holds the technological superpower, but India has an abundance of tech talent. In recent times, India is one of the preferred offshore hubs for outsourcing Flutter projects. Do you know why?
Here are the reasons why you should consider hiring Indian software developers.
It is surprising to know that nearly 80% of UK and US-based CEOs, and CTOs prefer India over other countries. A few prominent reasons are:
1 India gives access to the largest pool of software developers:
Let’s discuss the figures. Evan Data Corporation’s report records 26.9 million software developers out of which 12% are Indians. Also, Progressive Policy Institute suggests that India will be World’s biggest developer base by 2024.
That’s one of the huge reasons why you should prefer hiring from India.
2 Language will not be a hindrance to Indian developers:
Language compatibility is extremely important when you are developing a billionaire project. In India, most developers can converse in English and proficiently discuss the deliverables in the said language.
If we speak for ourselves (Kody Technolab), our teams are trained to communicate in English. Also, if there is a major time zone difference, our developers can make arrangements accordingly.
3 Hiring from India is economical:
Well, did you check our hiring model chart stated earlier? Do you feel we charge a reasonable amount in return for our work? So, this is the case in India too. You would see a decrease of 20-30% in your company’s expenditure if hired from India. Hiring from India will help you optimize your software development costs.
Also, if we look at the annual salary of the top five countries providing off-shore development services, India still looks reasonable as compared to other Asian countries.
| Position | Country | Hourly Rate |
| 1 | India | $10 – $25 |
| 2 | China | $20 – $25 |
| 3 | Malaysia | $15-$10 |
| 4 | Indonesia | $5-$15 |
The Hourly rates of developers in other parts of the globe are:
| 1. | Ukraine | $17 – $20 |
| 2. | The USA | $100-$175 |
| 3. | UK | $60 – $80 |
| 4. | Canada | $40 – $60 |
| 5. | Eastern Europe | $25-$50 |
4 Indian developers offer the utmost flexibility:
Be it the time zone difference or working methods, Indian developers are flexible enough to accommodate all your needs.
Again, speaking for our team at Kody Technolabs:
- Developers will stretch the working hours to meet your needs;

- We work like our own in-house teams for your project;
- We are easy-to-reach and communicate;

5 India’s IT market maturity:
Indian businessmen believe in making huge investments into the startups and businesses they believe would prosper. This is why India has recently become a startup hub.
Additionally, startups or ventures that are funded are also committed enough to utilize these investments and train the team of software developers. This dedication ensures that India will produce a proficient team of software developers.
6 Reliable Indian IP laws:
India has been into outsourcing for a long time now. It provides a well-defined contract and outsourcing enforcement which easily matches with the western regions of the world.
Also, when it comes to cybersecurity and data security norms, India adheres to a strict policy for the same.
All of these comprehensive reasons make India the best-preferred outsourcing company in the world. Even big giants like Google seek such commitments while hiring which is why they prefer India.
We hope we have convinced you to hire from India. Now let us simplify this hiring process a bit more.
