Any particular reason for choosing Flutter over React Native? Also seems like a very low price tag, I guess you're working with cheaper developers, have some automation in place and/or take on simple websites? Or maybe I overestimate the difficulty of doing this? $850 for both android + ios is about a day's worth of work as a medium paid contractor in the U.S, and I imagine it takes longer than that to do this.

I hadn't worked with React or javascript before this project, but did a small Flutter project in university. I found dart easy to pick up because it's quite similar to Java, which I've used quite a bit. Also I find that there's more progress being made with Flutter (with Google as a backer), than with React native. But I might be in a bubble there. Creating the apps is mostly automated and the apps use webviews along with a few native components. Without webviews and automation this would never be possible at that price point, you're totally right. There's lots of competitors that offer pure webview apps at ridiculous prices (I've seen $5 even). You can't publish those in the app store though (even if you manage to submit it for review without any help). So native components and help with publishing the apps are quite essential. And that's where a lot of the involved effort lies: communicating and helping customers. Working on improving that day by day though :)
