What dedicated actually means

Not a freelance pool. Not a black-box agency. Not shared bandwidth.

The "dedicated developer" claim is overused on agency sites. Most of it means nothing. Here's what dedicated specifically means with our team. And what it excludes. Read it before you sign anything.

Single-client commitment

Each developer on your team is committed 100% to your project for the engagement duration. No multi-tasking across clients, no shared bandwidth. They report to your PM, attend your standups, work on your project board (Jira, Linear, GitHub, whatever you use), and treat your codebase like it's their primary employer's. The only difference vs. a full-time hire is the contractual frame: monthly rolling, replacement guarantee, no severance, no equity. You can audit their commits, hours, and daily output.

Reports to YOUR PM

Developer joins your standup, takes tickets from your board, escalates to your engineering lead. We're not a relay. We're a staffing partner. You run the dev, we back the SLA.

Your tools, your workflow

Jira, Linear, Notion, Slack, Discord, Teams: whatever you use, the developer plugs in. We don't impose a process or toolchain. We adapt to yours from day one.

NOT a freelance pool

Once assigned, the developer is yours for the engagement. They don't bid on other gigs or split attention. Need them replaced? HireFlutterDev FastMatch routes a new developer within 48 hours, no lost sprint.

NOT a black-box agency

You get named individuals you've interviewed, who stay on your project for the engagement duration. Full commit history, PR access, and hour visibility. No vague 'team' with rotating faces.

NOT shared bandwidth

Dedicated means dedicated. Not part-time-plus. Not 'available when we have capacity.' You get 100% of their working day, every day they're assigned to you.

Team configurations

Hire dedicated Flutter developer — three configurations that actually ship.

Most Flutter projects don't need 10 people. Pick the right configuration for your scope. Overscaling wastes money. Underscaling wastes time. We help you choose during the discovery call.

Solo Senior · $6,200/mo

Best for MVPs under 8 weeks, focused feature work, or prototype-to-production builds. Senior owns the full stack: architecture, implementation, code review, App Store submission. Typical project: 6-screen Flutter MVP with auth, REST integration, payment, push notifications. Ships in 5-7 weeks with our AI workflow.

Senior + Mid pair · $10,600/mo ★ Most popular

Best for standard MVPs (8-12 weeks) when you want one person owning architecture and another cranking features. Senior reviews all PRs from Mid. Typical: 10-15 screen app with admin web dashboard, two third-party integrations, role-based access. Ships in 8-10 weeks.

Full pod · $22,800/mo

1 Lead + 2 Seniors + 1 QA. Best for larger products with ongoing roadmaps (3+ months) and multi-platform shipping where you need engineering leadership, two implementation hands, and a dedicated QA loop without managing four separate contractors yourself; the Lead runs sprint planning, owns architecture decisions, interfaces directly with your PM, and shields the Seniors from coordination overhead so they can ship features at full velocity. Typical project: full SaaS with mobile + web admin, 25+ screens, payments, real-time features, 6-9 month roadmap.

Custom configurations available: solo Lead, pair of Seniors, two Seniors + QA, or any mix. We design the team based on what you actually need, not what fills our bench.

Onboarding timeline

How quickly can you hire a dedicated Flutter developer?

Onboarding is where most agency engagements lose 1-2 weeks of velocity. Ours is structured to deliver working software by end of Week 1. Not planning documents. Working software.

01

Week 1: Structured ramp
Days 1-5
Day 1-2: contracts + NDA signed, developer profile shared, optional 30-min interview. Day 3-4: repo access, project board onboarding, first standup with your PM. Day 5: first PR merged. Working software, not slides. This is the bar we hold ourselves to.
02

Week 2: Full velocity
Days 6-14
Developer is fully embedded. Multiple PRs per week, daily standups, working software demo on Friday. Our Lead 'shadows' the engagement for the first two weeks to catch any process friction, included at no extra cost. By end of Week 2, you have at least one user-visible feature shipped.
03

Week 3: Sustained delivery
Days 15-21
The shadow Lead steps back. Your dedicated developer is now operating independently. First monthly review: what shipped, what's queued, blockers, roadmap check-in. Replacement-guarantee window is still active (30 days from start), and we surface it transparently even though most clients never use it.

First 30 days

What does a dedicated Flutter developer's first 30 days look like?

The 30-day replacement guarantee means we make week one count. Concrete schedule of what a dedicated Flutter developer ships, owns, and delivers in their first month on your engagement.

Day 1-3

Repo, docs, design system

Cloned repo on day one. Reads architecture docs, design system, existing tickets. First PR usually a small bug fix or doc improvement by day three, to prove the local dev loop works end-to-end.

Day 4-7

First feature ticket

Picks up a small-to-medium ticket from your backlog. Pairs with your tech lead on first PR. By end of week one, the feature is in code review or already merged. Standup cadence locked in by day five.

Week 2

Owning a feature area

Starts owning a slice of the app: a specific feature, screen, or service. Becomes the person your team pings for that area. Velocity hits stride: 2-3 tickets per week at Senior tier.

Week 3

Architecture input + tech debt

Surfaces structural issues the team already knew about but couldn't prioritize. Proposes refactors with effort estimates. Picks one to tackle alongside the feature roadmap. AI-augmented workflow pays off here.

Week 4

30-day check-in

Joint review with your lead and our pod lead. Three questions: shipping velocity, code quality, communication fit. Most engagements pass cleanly. ~5% trigger a swap; we have the replacement ready inside 48 hours.

Day 31+

Fully embedded

Past the 30-day guarantee window. Your developer is operating like a team member, not a contractor. Monthly retro with our pod lead continues; you keep the developer until the engagement ends or scope shifts.

Dedicated team rates

Full-time dedicated rates. Transparent, tiered, no surprises.

160 hours per month per developer. Monthly rolling contracts with 4-week minimum. Most dedicated clients run Senior tier. Independent on architecture. Reliable on delivery. AI-augmented for velocity.

Lead

$60/hr ~$9,200/mo

8+ years. Runs a pod, owns sprint planning, hires and mentors. For ongoing multi-developer programs.

Multi-dev team leadership
Sprint planning + retrospectives
Hiring + onboarding support

All rates full-time dedicated (160 hrs/month). Shifted timezone (US PT / ET hours) available at +10%. 10% off at 3-month commit · 15% off at 6-month commit. Monthly rolling otherwise, no lock-in. See full India rate breakdown →

Why we ship 2x faster

HireFlutterDev FlutterStack: the AI workflow your dedicated team ships with every day.

HireFlutterDev FlutterStack is our AI-augmented Flutter delivery system: Claude Code, Cursor, and the GetWidget UI kit layered on senior engineers. Ships 40-60% faster than non-AI Flutter teams. This isn't a vague "we use AI tools" claim, it's a defined daily process that runs on every project, every PR, every sprint. Other agencies don't have FlutterStack.

Claude Code + Cursor

AI pair programming as the default workflow. Not an experiment, not optional. Boilerplate, model classes, conversions, refactors, and test scaffolds are AI-generated and human-reviewed. Every developer on your team ships with this stack active.

GetWidget UI kit

Our own open-source Flutter library used in 100,000+ Flutter apps. 30+ pre-built components save 80-120 hours per project on standard UI implementation. Your dedicated team works with the components they helped build.

Internal Flutter prompt library

30+ vetted prompts for common Flutter patterns: state management, navigation, Firebase, Stripe, push notifications, App Store submission scripts. Pre-debugged, battle-tested on 100+ real projects.

AI code review pass

Every PR gets an automated AI review for null safety violations, Dart pitfalls, async/await bugs, and state management anti-patterns before any human eyes touch it; the bot catches the noise so the Senior reviewer is spending their time on architecture and product judgment, not fishing for missing const constructors or null assertions in a 400-line diff. Saves Senior review time. Catches obvious mistakes early.

How we hire

How do we vet dedicated Flutter developers before placement?

We've placed dedicated Flutter developers on 200+ engagements. The hiring funnel that produces a 1-in-30 roster pass rate is the same one that runs your dedicated engagement. You see the survivors, not the funnel.

Sourcing. Inbound + referral pipeline through the GetWidget OSS community (the UI kit our team maintains on pub.dev). We screen ~150 Flutter developers a month. About 30 reach the technical test.
Technical test. A real Flutter task drawn from past client work: BLoC state, a thorny widget tree, an API integration with rate limits. Submit a PR with tests. Reviewed by a Lead. No leetcode, no whiteboard.
Pairing call. 90-minute pair-coding session with a Senior on our team. We watch how candidates think when they hit a real bug. AI-augmented workflow demonstrated live: candidate uses Claude Code or Cursor in front of us.
Reference + repo check. Last two engagements verified via reference. Public GitHub commit log reviewed for code quality, PR cadence, and review-thread behavior — what they're like as a colleague, not just a coder.
Trial week. First week on your engagement is paid-by-us trial. If chemistry or skill mismatch shows up by day five, we swap before you've burned a sprint. This is how the 30-day replacement guarantee stays cheap to honor.

Years of Flutter expertise

What each tier brings to your dedicated engagement.

Tier is more than years of experience — it predicts the type of work each developer owns on your team. Match the tier to the work, not to the wage bill.

Junior ($18/hr) — 1-2 years Flutter. Backlog throughput, UI implementation against existing designs, test writing, bug fixes with clear repro steps. Always paired with a Mid or Senior in review. Best for ticket-grind volume.
Mid ($28/hr) — 3-5 years Flutter. Independent feature ownership, BLoC / Riverpod / Provider fluency, REST + GraphQL integration, sensible local-state architecture. Reviews Junior PRs. Best for steady delivery.
Senior ($42/hr) — 6+ years across native + Flutter. Architecture decisions, complex state, performance tuning, third-party SDK integration when no maintained Flutter package exists. Mentors Mid developers. Best for greenfield builds and tricky refactors.
Lead ($60/hr) — 8+ years, full-stack delivery. Owns pod direction, hiring, sprint planning, stakeholder demos, code review on every PR. Has shipped 8+ Flutter apps to App Store and Google Play personally. Best for engagements where you need an engineering manager you don't have internally.

Long-term engagements

What 6-month dedicated engagements actually look like.

Continuity matters for product velocity. Every team replacement costs 1-2 weeks of context ramp. These are projects where the same dedicated team stayed engaged for 7+ months. Same engineers. Same Slack channel. This is what that continuity produced.

Fintech SaaS · Senior pair, 14 months

Two dedicated Senior Flutter developers since project kickoff. Built a B2B invoice automation app: MVP in 9 weeks, then 12 months of weekly releases. Both developers still on project. Client renewed 4 times. $12,400/mo, no team changes in 14 months.

HealthTech · Full pod, 9 months

Lead + 2 Seniors + QA for a HIPAA-aware telemedicine platform handling video consults, prescription workflow, and EHR integration where every workflow had a compliance review attached and the QA loop had to certify each release against an internal audit checklist before App Store submission; the Lead owned architecture and direct CTO conversations, the Seniors split feature work along clear boundaries, and the QA engineer caught five PII-handling regressions before they shipped. Scaled up to a 3rd Senior in month 5 for backend integration. $22,800/mo base, one planned scale-up.

eCommerce · Solo Senior, 11 months

Solo Senior dedicated to a D2C Flutter app. MVP in 6 weeks, then a 10-month roadmap: performance optimization, A/B testing infrastructure, new payment providers. Scaled from MVP to 100k+ users on the same dedicated developer. $6,200/mo.

EdTech · Senior + Junior pair, 7 months

Senior owned architecture and high-risk features; Junior handled UI and content screens. Junior was promoted to Mid in month 4 based on demonstrated performance. Rate adjusted with notice, no replacement, no disruption. $8,800/mo, one in-engagement promotion.

Replacement guarantee

The fine print, because most agency guarantees are vague.

We're transparent about exactly how the guarantee works so you can make a decision based on real terms, not marketing copy. Here's what each phase actually covers.

First 30 days: free, no questions

If the developer doesn't work out for any reason, we replace at no cost. No 'let's discuss' or 'we'll review.' You say replace, we replace. New developer's 1-week ramp budget is on us, not you.

Days 31-90: free if issue is on our side

Skill gap, attendance, communication, work quality: our problem, our cost. Scope or expectation mismatch: we mediate first before swapping. If a swap is still needed, you pay only for the replacement's ramp week.

After 90 days: best-effort replacement

At 3 months in, the developer knows your codebase deeply. Replacement is genuinely expensive (1-2 weeks context loss). We work hard to resolve issues before swapping. New developer's ramp week is on us regardless.

Voluntary departures: covered

If a developer leaves our company mid-engagement (rare; our retention is >94%), we provide a replacement at no cost. Replacement gets a paid 2-week handoff from the departing developer. You don't pay double during transition.

We'd been through two Upwork developers before we found this team. The difference with a dedicated engagement is night and day: they're in our Linear, on our standup, they know the codebase. The GetWidget UI kit alone saved us 3 weeks on our UI build. First PR was merged on day 5, exactly as promised.

FAQ

Common questions about dedicated Flutter teams.

What does 'dedicated' actually mean in your engagement model?

How fast can you assemble a dedicated Flutter team?

Solo developer: 48 hours from sign-off. Pair (Senior + Mid or Senior + Junior): 5-7 days. Full pod (Lead + 2-3 Seniors + QA): 10-14 days. Speed depends on tier. Senior developers are usually queued; Leads need a 1-2 week handoff from previous engagements. We're transparent on availability during the discovery call.

What's the minimum commitment for a dedicated team?

4 weeks minimum per developer, then monthly rolling. You can scale up or down with 2 weeks notice. No long-term lock-in. Many clients commit to 3 or 6 months upfront for a discount (10% off at 3 months, 15% off at 6 months), but it's not required.

How does the 30-day replacement guarantee work?

If a developer doesn't work out in the first 30 days, we replace them at no cost. No questions, no negotiation. You don't pay for the days they didn't work out. The new developer gets a 1-week ramp budget (their hours, our cost). After 30 days, replacement is still free if the issue is on our side: skill gap, communication, attendance, work quality. If it's a scope or expectation mismatch, we mediate first.

Can I interview developers before they join my team?

Yes. Every dedicated assignment includes a 30-minute interview with the candidate developer before they start. You can decline and we'll suggest another. We pre-screen for fit (technical, communication, timezone) so the interview is usually a formality, but it's always your call.

What's the team composition for a typical Flutter project?

Most projects ship with one of three configurations: (1) Solo Senior for small features and MVPs under 8 weeks, $6,200/mo. (2) Senior + Mid pair for standard MVPs, 8-12 weeks, $10,600/mo. (3) Full pod (1 Lead + 2-3 Seniors + 1 QA) for larger products and ongoing roadmaps, $22,800/mo. We help pick the configuration during the discovery call based on scope, timeline, and budget.

Do dedicated developers work in my timezone or India?

Default is India Standard Time (IST). Most clients overlap using our morning, which is evening for US PT and mid-day for UK/EU. Shifted hours available at +10% rate: we can run a developer on US Pacific (10am-6pm PT) or US Eastern. Most clients don't need this; async daily standups plus Slack handles the coordination cleanly.

Why hire dedicated instead of using freelancers from Upwork or Toptal?

Three reasons. (1) Freelancers split attention across clients, so you get partial bandwidth and unpredictable availability. Our dedicated devs are 100% on your project. (2) No replacement guarantee on freelance platforms. If your Upwork dev disappears mid-sprint, you restart from zero. We replace within 48 hours. (3) Freelancers don't share our AI workflow, Flutter prompt library, or the GetWidget UI kit, so the velocity advantage doesn't transfer. For the full side-by-side against Toptal specifically (rate, vetting, AI workflow, timezone), see our <a href='/vs/toptal-flutter-developers/'>HireFlutterDev vs Toptal comparison</a>.

What does a dedicated Flutter team actually cost per month?

Solo Senior: $6,200/mo (~$74k/year). Senior + Mid pair: $10,600/mo. Senior + Senior pair: $12,400/mo. Full pod (Lead + 2 Seniors + QA): $22,800/mo (~$273k/year for a 4-person Flutter team). Compare to US in-house: a single Senior Flutter dev in San Francisco costs $180-220k/year fully-loaded. We're roughly 60-75% cheaper at equivalent or higher quality.

How does AI-augmented development work for a dedicated team?

Every developer ships with Claude Code + Cursor + our internal Flutter prompt library + the GetWidget UI kit. Routine work (model classes, API clients, test scaffolds, refactors) is AI-accelerated. Every PR runs an AI code review pass before human review. Net result: 40-60% faster delivery on standard work. A 12-week project for a non-AI team ships in 6-8 weeks with us. We document the AI workflow and share access patterns with clients on request.
