Head to head / 4 criteria, identical for every column

FlutterFlow vs Expo + EAS

The same 4 criteria for both, with the page each figure came from and the day it was read.

4figures a side, every one read off that company’s own page on or since 2026-09-18

The verdict

On free tier, FlutterFlow is $0 — build and test and Expo + EAS is $0 /MONTH — 15 Android and 15 iOS builds. On cheapest paid plan, FlutterFlow is $39/month (Basic) and Expo + EAS is $19 /MONTH + additional usage cost (Starter). On cheapest plan that reaches ios, FlutterFlow is $39/month (Basic) and Expo + EAS is $0 /MONTH (Free). On what the plan is metered in, FlutterFlow is Lite credits, plus a separate AI-generation meter and Expo + EAS is Build credit, then metered. StoreReady sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either — it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-18; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.

Behind FlutterFlow

You want the source code and the store deployment at the cheapest price at which anyone in this table offers both. FlutterFlow's Basic tier is $39/month and its own headline for that tier is "Download project source code or APK", with "One-Click App Store Deployment" listed beside it — and the output is Flutter, so the thing you take away is a real codebase rather than a bundle.

Free tier. $0 — build and test

Up to 2 projects, 10 Lite credits, web publishing, API and data integration. No store deployment.

Behind Expo + EAS

You can write the app, and what you actually need is the build and submit pipeline. Expo's free tier is the only one in this table that both compiles for iOS and submits — "15 Android and 15 iOS builds" and "Submit to app stores", at $0 a month — and everything above it is the same service with more credit and a faster queue rather than a feature gate.

Free tier. $0 /MONTH — 15 Android and 15 iOS builds

Also "Submit to app stores", 60 minutes of CI/CD workflows and updates to 1K monthly active users.
Expo + EASexpo.dev/read 2026-09-18/wording re-checked

Cheapest paid plan. $19 /MONTH + additional usage cost (Starter)

Includes $45 of build credit, a high-priority queue and large workers. Production is $199 /MONTH with $225 of credit.
Expo + EASexpo.dev/read 2026-09-18/wording re-checked

Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. $0 /MONTH (Free)

⛔ The one row in this table where the App Store is reachable on the free tier — 15 iOS builds and "Submit to app stores" are both listed under Free. What Expo does not do is write the app; every other entry here generates the code and then charges you for the store.
Expo + EASexpo.dev/read 2026-09-18/wording re-checked

What the plan is metered in. Build credit, then metered

Both paid tiers carry that line. Past the included credit builds are metered, so this is the row whose real cost depends on how often you compile rather than on what you are building.
