Flutter & React Native Apps in Canada

In practice, the French version cannot be an afterthought. It has to be available on terms at least as favourable as the English, which affects navigation, forms, error messages, transactional email, and support content rather than just marketing pages. We plan for two languages at wireframe stage, because French copy typically runs longer than English and a layout built for one will break on the other. Translation is done by a French speaker rather than machine output.

As a product requirement, not a setting. That means capturing and storing proof of consent with a timestamp and source, distinguishing express from implied consent along with when implied consent expires, an unsubscribe that works in every message and takes effect quickly, and accurate sender identification. Transactional messages are treated separately from commercial ones in the code, because conflating them is the most common way teams end up sending something they should not have.

We are outside Canada, so our services are generally not subject to Canadian sales tax on our invoice, and self-assessment rules may apply depending on your province and registration status. Because the provincial position varies considerably, we would rather your accountant confirms the treatment before the first invoice than reconcile it afterwards. We quote in Canadian dollars and hold the figure for the project.

Honestly, with a written-first working style. Our day ends before yours starts even in the east, and overnight in the west, so there is no live overlap to schedule around and we do not pretend otherwise. Work is handed over in writing at the end of our day, which lands as your morning, and questions that would block us are flagged before we stop rather than discovered overnight. One scheduled call a week in your morning covers what genuinely needs a conversation.

MVP apps (5-10 screens, basic features): CA$1,300-CA$2,400. Production apps (25-50 screens, real-time, payments): CA$2,400-CA$6,500. Enterprise / multi-module apps: CA$6,500+. Final cost depends on screen count, native module needs, and whether the backend is already built or needs to be built alongside.

Flutter wins for: visual polish, 60fps animations, identical iOS/Android look, teams comfortable with Dart. React Native wins for: faster ramp-up if your team knows React, code sharing with a web app, larger npm ecosystem. We use both, pick based on team and design needs, not framework hype.

MVP apps: 8-12 weeks. Production apps with backend: 12-20 weeks. Enterprise apps: 20-40 weeks. Add 2-3 weeks for App Store and Play Store review on top of dev time. We work in 2-week sprints with TestFlight / Internal Testing builds every Monday.

Yes. App Store submission is included in every project, App Store Connect setup, screenshots in all required device sizes, privacy policy, content rating, and the review submission. We handle App Store reviewer questions and resubmissions if anything is rejected. Play Store is straightforward and similar.

Yes. Mobile apps need ongoing care, iOS and Android version updates each year, framework upgrades, dependency security patches, store policy changes. Our retainers run CA$320-CA$1,600/month depending on app complexity and feature roadmap. Most clients stay on retainer for 2+ years.
