[FlutterFlow to Flutter]
For teams whose FlutterFlow app has real users and a roadmap the editor is slowing down. DreamLabs rebuilds it as a production Flutter codebase in your own repository, on the Firebase or Supabase backend you already run, so users keep their accounts and simply get an app update. It starts with a $4,000 two-week strategy sprint, and most builds take about 6 weeks after it.
Start with a strategy sprint[What comes next]
Building on FlutterFlow was a good call. It generates real Flutter code, paid plans let you download the whole project, and it put your product in front of users without an engineering team. That's the hard part done.
We know this first-hand. We used to build apps in FlutterFlow, then switched to AI-accelerated development in Flutter, and we have exported most of the apps we started in FlutterFlow.
The next stage asks for things an editor was not built to hand you. FlutterFlow pushes code to GitHub one way: its docs say it always pushes to a branch named flutterflow, and that direct changes there are overwritten by the next push. Its VS Code extension syncs custom actions, widgets, functions and dependencies back into the project on Growth plans and up, but pages built in the visual editor change only in the editor. The generated project gives each page a widget file and a model file and keeps app-wide state in a generated FFAppState class: workable inside FlutterFlow, and harder for engineers who expect to own the architecture, the reviews and the tests.
Teams usually move when a specific goal comes into view: hiring Flutter engineers who expect to work in the repository, passing a customer's or investor's security review, or a feature that keeps fighting the generated structure. That is the moment to own the code outright.
If one or two people build comfortably in the editor, releases go out on schedule and custom code is a small share of the app, stay. FlutterFlow is a productive way to run a product at that stage, and Code Download means you can still leave later without starting over. If that's where you are, we'll say so. Our FlutterFlow vs Flutter guide sets out when to stay and when to move.

[How it works]
[01]
Two weeks, flat $4,000, refunded in full if we don't move forward together. We download your FlutterFlow project and map it against the running app into a features table: every screen, data binding, custom function, integration, database rule and Cloud Function. You get wireframes for anything that should change, an honest call on what refactors cleanly and what's faster to rebuild, and the first-release scope we quote the build from.
[02]
Senior engineers rebuild the app as a structured Flutter project with real state management, navigation and reusable components. AI speeds up the screen-by-screen work; engineers own the architecture and review every line. Custom Dart ports over, generated widget trees are re-implemented rather than patched, and the app talks to your existing backend from the start.
[03]
Because both versions use the same backend, we run the new build beside your FlutterFlow app against production data and check parity feature by feature: sign-in, payments, notifications, edge cases. Cutover is a normal store release under your existing bundle ID and package name, and users update the way they would for any new version.
[04]
We ship through App Store and Google Play review, set up CI/CD and automated tests in your repository, remove FlutterFlow's access to your Firebase project, and hand over documentation a new Flutter hire can onboard from. Then you can cancel the FlutterFlow plan.
[Where you land]
You land on production Flutter: Dart with a proven state-management architecture, typed models, automated tests and CI/CD, connected to the Firebase or Supabase backend you already run. The app stays natively compiled for iOS and Android from one codebase, and Flutter builds for the web from that same codebase when your roadmap needs it.
Flutter is the framework behind the apps we ship. Grove, a Flutter app on Firebase that moves real money through bank linking and ACH transfers, went from idea to both app stores in six weeks and had shipped 12 updates by version 1.4.2, built with Claude Code as part of our AI-accelerated workflow. GlowCode shipped one Flutter codebase to the App Store and Google Play eight weeks from idea to launch. Haikuists runs a Flutter mobile app for its poets and a Flutter desktop web app for its admins on one shared Firebase back end.
No subscription sits between you and your app: you own a normal Git repository that any Flutter engineer can clone, run and extend.

[FAQs]
Yes. Paid plans from Basic up include Code Download, and Growth and up can push to GitHub. The export is structured for the editor, with a model file per page and one global FFAppState, so we port your custom Dart and refactor or rebuild the structure around it.
Every migration starts with a two-week strategy sprint for a flat $4,000, refunded in full if we don't move forward together. We map your current app into a features table and scope the rebuild, and we quote the build from that scope. The price is set and approved at the end of the sprint, and that's what you pay. A FlutterFlow migration can cost less than building the same app new, because the product decisions, backend and designs already exist, and with our AI-accelerated process a build typically costs a fraction of what a traditional agency charges.
Two weeks for the sprint, then about 6 weeks for most builds, versus the roughly 6 months a traditional rebuild takes. Your FlutterFlow app is a complete, running specification, so engineers spend their time building rather than deciding. For a sense of pace on this stack, Grove went from idea to both app stores in six weeks.
No. In a FlutterFlow app, users and data live in Firebase or Supabase, outside FlutterFlow, and the rebuilt app connects to the same backend, so accounts, passwords and data are untouched. We release under your existing bundle ID and package name, signed with your keys: App Store Connect doesn't let a bundle ID change once a build is uploaded, and Android installs an update only when its signing certificate matches. If the Android upload key is lost, Play App Signing lets you request an upload key reset without changing the app's signing key.
Flutter, almost always. Your FlutterFlow app is already Flutter underneath, so staying in the ecosystem preserves the most: custom Dart ports directly, and the app's exact behavior is easiest to reproduce. Moving to React Native means rebuilding every screen in a new language, which only makes sense in unusual cases, like a team already deep in JavaScript. If that's you, raise it in the sprint and we'll give you an honest recommendation.
