FiniteField
pour Mac application d?veloppement, building uniquement pour Mac is often less effective than building Mac, windows, web, iOS, et android together avec Flutter. avec the same budget, you can usually reach a wider user base.
At Finite Field, we combine subscription-based DaaS (d?veloppement as a Service) avec Flutter ? provide a delivery setup that keeps product d?veloppement moving, starting at zero upfront co?t et JPY 298,000/month.
Pricing model: ongoing mensuel improvement instead de one-time upfront delivery (pauseable et scalable)
Flutter advantage: develop Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together (one spec change cycle)
recommand? path: Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour fastest progress de launch ? growth
What is the typical co?t range pour Mac application d?veloppement?
It depends on features, distribution model, et quality requirements. avec Finite Field's DaaS, the benchmarks are Clair (JPY 298,000/month) pour minor updates et Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour new builds et growth.
If we uniquement plan Mac now, why choose Flutter?
You reduce rework risk when web, mobile, ou windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier ? reflect dans one cycle.
Can you support internal distribution instead de application Store release?
Yes. We propose the right process based on your distribution method, including internal distribution et MDM.
Mac application costs mainly vary by the following factors.
Use case: internal tool / business system / consumer application
Distribution: application Store / internal package (DMG) / MDM
Features: authentication, sync, offline, notifications, permissions, printing, integrations
Quality scope: tests, auditability, security, operations monitoring
Future scope: Mac uniquement vs planned multi-OS rollout
dans Mac application projects, requirements frequently expand during delivery.
If each OS is implemented separately, spec changes et additional work fragment across teams, slowing decisions et increasing maintenance costs. Flutter usually allows one design direction et one implementation strategy across platforms.
The field team also needs a web version
People need access de iPhone/iPad while outside
Sales teams are on windows
Browser access is needed pour partner sharing
| Requirements | Requirements x 5 | Requirements x 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation | Implementation x 5 | Implementation x 1 (high sharing) |
| Testing | tests x 5 | Shared test assets |
| Comparison | Traditional outsourcing (per OS) | Finite Field DaaS (Flutter) |
|---|---|---|
| Supported OS | Mac uniquement (other OS require separate budget) | Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together |
| Upfront co?t | Often JPY millions ? tens de millions | JPY 0 upfront (mensuel uniquement) |
| Delivery speed | Parallel but separate OS tracks | One line progressing across all OS |
| Spec changes | Re-coordination per OS | Changes reflected dans one cycle |
| Maintenance | Often separate quotation each time | Continuous support dans mensuel plan (depends on tier) |
| Risk profile | Value appears uniquement near handover | You can pause ou scale as needed |
Three plans designed pour starting small de Mac et scaling ? five platforms when needed.
JPY 298,000/month
Maintenance phase / small internal tool updates
Good fit
Minor improvements ? existing tools, small internal feature additions, et continuous operational tuning
JPY 598,000/month
New product et growth phase / full build momentum
Good fit
Start de Mac et expand ? web/mobile/windows while growing the business application incrementally
Most suitable pour users arriving via Mac tarification search intent
de JPY 980,000/month
Large scale / high-speed execution avec parallel tracks
Good fit
Parallel new feature delivery et operations, multi-department rollout, et short-term replacement at scale
New d?veloppement inevitably comes avec early spec changes.
Standard combines web + application scope avec biweekly prioritization cycles, which usually shortens the loop de planning ? 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 (application Store / internal deployment)
Future expansion ? windows / web / iOS / android
Three common failure patterns dans Mac application d?veloppement:
avec DaaS, you can operate dans a continuous loop de build, use, improve, et scale. This typically stabilizes total co?t better than relying on the first quotation alone.
co?t depends on features, distribution model, et quality requirements. avec Finite Field DaaS, the benchmarks are Clair (JPY 298,000/month) pour minor updates et Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour new d?veloppement et growth.
It minimizes double investment risk when web, mobile, ou windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier ? manage dans one shared flow.
Yes. We propose the right rollout strategy based on internal distribution ou MDM requirements.
Yes. Because DaaS is mensuel, moving Clair ? Standard ? Business, ou pausing at a milestone, is easier ? design contractually.
Cloud costs (pour exemple Cloud Run ou Firestore) are billed at actual utilisation. We provide rough estimates during solution design.
dans one 30-minute session, we can compare Mac-uniquement vs 5-platform scope et clarify which path gives better return.
