Flutter builds Android and iOS apps from a single codebase, drawing its own interface rather than wrapping native components. In practice that means one team, one codebase and two apps that look identical.
For most business apps this halves the cost and removes the drift where one platform quietly falls behind the other.

Common questions
Flutter or React Native?
Flutter if the app is visually custom and the team has no existing React code. React Native if you already have a React web app and want to share developers and logic.
Will users notice it is not native?
For the overwhelming majority of business apps, no. It matters for apps leaning hard on platform-specific hardware or the newest OS features.
