I have a hate-love kind of relationship with Flutterflow. On the one hand, there is no serious competition, and sometimes it makes me feel I'm saving a ton of time building a product this way. Other times, it makes me think I'm losing so much time debugging things without a single error message to work with, one of the most unhelpful customer support out there. But to be honest, while building read-this.ai I always ended up finding a solution to my problem as the product is flexible enough as there are generally a few ways to achieve something, even if it means getting technical (custom widget, custom action, building an API, creating a custom build workflow through the GitHub integration). I just wish you nailed the core features, such as publishing on the play store which never worked for me (I had to learn to sign my app bundles myself!), and equip yourself with a much better customer centre even at the price of a higher paid tier.
The builder UI is the best I've found for building cross platform (iOS, Android, macOS, web) apps, the community is active and are good at coming up with creative solutions to problems, the support is mediocre but eventually helpful and the quality of the generated code is high, promising to make it easy to continue the project with or without FlutterFlow :)
Stick with Flutter to build fast, maintainable mobile and desktop apps. A very basic prototype which we were able to quickly build on Flutterflow within 2 weeks performed well. However, the platform was insufficient to support a slightly larger app for managing warehouse inventory. Even after a revamp and extensive chats with support performance remained significantly sub-production level.
After initial quick gains, the incremental effort required to change or add a feature become very steep and non-economical, necessitating an early switch to Flutter, with only half the required features having been implemented. Once a developer jumps off, plan to have to onboard someone from your existing team to the platform, with a significant learning curve, as there is a lack of third-party developers to provide support.
Except for teams looking for rapid prototyping on a very very basic app, we recommend to stick with Flutter from the outset.
Flutterflow blew me away the instant I got my hands on it. My assumption was "Ok, this is just another service that promises a lot, but I can build one pager at best and it will look crappy", but boy was I wrong. Features like integration with Firestore, ability to build working CRUD, authentication, and much more. And users can build apps extremely fast, I got my app up and running in 8 hours.
The only thing I would see as a drawback is their Youtube tutorial channel. The videos are a bit vague and improvements could be made.
Other than that, I absolutely love FlutterFlow. Hats off to the creators!
