Utrecht
One engineer, from idea to the App Store.
For Utrecht product teams, the right mobile stack depends on the product itself. A B2B companion app often fits React Native well; a consumer product where UX is the product usually benefits from native iOS and Android. Having one engineer who can weigh both options honestly makes the discovery phase shorter and more focused.
The agency route
Separate specialists for discovery, design, iOS, Android, and QA — each billed independently.
Multiple handoffs between designer, project manager, and the developer writing the code.
Store-submission details are often addressed near the end of the project.
Maintenance retainers typically cover the full delivery team rather than ongoing development alone.

Kickoff to TestFlight or Play Internal Testing in days, not sprints.
Native build pipelines, signing, and store assets included as part of the engagement.

Cross-platform where it pays. Native where it matters.
