FiniteField
para Mac app desarrollo, building solo para Mac is often less effective than building Mac, windows, web, iOS, y android together con Flutter. con the same budget, you can usually reach a wider user base.
At Finite Field, we combine subscription-based DaaS (desarrollo as a Service) con Flutter a provide a delivery setup that keeps product desarrollo moving, starting at zero upfront costo y JPY 298,000/month.
Pricing model: ongoing mensual improvement instead de one-time upfront delivery (pauseable y scalable)
Flutter advantage: develop Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together (one spec change cycle)
recomendado path: Standard (JPY 598,000/month) para fastest progress de launch a growth
What is the typical costo range para Mac app desarrollo?
It depends on features, distribution model, y quality requirements. con Finite Field's DaaS, the benchmarks are Claro (JPY 298,000/month) para minor updates y Standard (JPY 598,000/month) para new builds y growth.
If we solo plan Mac now, why choose Flutter?
You reduce rework risk when web, mobile, o windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier a reflect en one cycle.
Can you soporte internal distribution instead de app Store release?
Yes. We propose the right process based on your distribution method, including internal distribution y MDM.
Mac app costs mainly vary by the following factors.
Use case: internal tool / business system / consumer app
Distribution: app Store / internal package (DMG) / MDM
Features: authentication, sync, offline, notifications, permissions, printing, integrations
Quality scope: pruebas, auditability, security, operations monitoring
Future scope: Mac solo vs planned multi-OS rollout
en Mac app projects, requirements frequently expand during delivery.
If each OS is implemented separately, spec changes y additional work fragment across teams, slowing decisions y increasing maintenance costs. Flutter usually allows one design direction y one implementation strategy across platforms.
The field team also needs a web versi?n

Sales teams are on windows

| Requirements | Requirements x 5 | Requirements x 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation | Implementation x 5 | Implementation x 1 (high sharing) |
| Testing | pruebas x 5 | Shared test assets |
| Comparison | Traditional outsourcing (per OS) | Finite Field DaaS (Flutter) |
|---|---|---|
| Supported OS | Mac solo (other OS require separate budget) | Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together |
| Upfront costo | Often JPY millions a tens de millions | JPY 0 upfront (mensual solo) |
| Delivery speed | Parallel but separate OS tracks | One line progressing across all OS |
| Spec changes | Re-coordination per OS | Changes reflected en one cycle |
| Maintenance | Often separate quotation each time | Continuous soporte en mensual plan (depends on tier) |
| Risk profile | Value appears solo near handover | You can pause o scale as needed |
Three plans designed para starting small de Mac y scaling a five platforms when needed.
JPY 298,000/month
Maintenance phase / small internal tool updates
Good fit
Minor improvements a existing tools, small internal feature additions, y continuous operational tuning
JPY 598,000/month
New product y growth phase / full build momentum
Good fit
Start de Mac y expand a web/mobile/windows while growing the business app incrementally
Most suitable para users arriving via Mac precios search intent
de JPY 980,000/month
Large scale / high-speed execution con parallel tracks
Good fit
Parallel new feature delivery y operations, multi-department rollout, y short-term replacement at scale
New desarrollo inevitably comes con early spec changes.
Standard combines web + app scope con biweekly prioritization cycles, which usually shortens the loop de planning a adoption.
If these points are clear, rough estimates become much faster.
Unknown items are completely fine at consultation stage.
User volume (internal headcount / external users)
Authentication (Google/Microsoft/ID-password/SSO)
Data model (sync/offline/permissions/audit)
Integrations (CSV/Excel/existing DB/API/Slack, etc.)
Distribution (app Store / internal deployment)
Future expansion a windows / web / iOS / android
Three common failure patterns en Mac app desarrollo:
con DaaS, you can operate en a continuous loop de build, use, improve, y scale. This typically stabilizes total costo better than relying on the first quotation alone.
costo depends on features, distribution model, y quality requirements. con Finite Field DaaS, the benchmarks are Claro (JPY 298,000/month) para minor updates y Standard (JPY 598,000/month) para new desarrollo y growth.
It minimizes double investment risk when web, mobile, o windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier a manage en one shared flow.
Yes. We propose the right rollout strategy based on internal distribution o MDM requirements.
Yes. Because DaaS is mensual, moving Claro a Standard a Business, o pausing at a milestone, is easier a design contractually.
Cloud costs (para ejemplo Cloud Run o Firestore) are billed at actual uso. We provide rough estimates during solution design.
en one 30-minute session, we can compare Mac-solo vs 5-platform scope y clarify which path gives better return.
