What the product covers
The full Kotlin Multiplatform feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Shared Kotlin logic
- Native UI retained
- Compose Multiplatform (optional)
- IDE tooling
- Gradle-based builds
- Incremental adoption
People bring Kotlin Multiplatform in for a company with existing separate native ios and android codebases wanting to stop duplicating business logic and networking code, a team that wants shared logic but is not willing to compromise on fully native ui per platform, an organisation already using kotlin on the backend that wants to reuse the same models and validation on mobile clients, a team evaluating compose multiplatform for ui sharing but wanting the option to fall back to native ui per screen. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Kotlin Multiplatform are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Mobile Development
Too few mobile development tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Kotlin Multiplatform badges page.
Before you pay for Kotlin Multiplatform
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Kotlin Multiplatform runs on ios, android, windows, macos, linux, web, and is published by JetBrains s.r.o. of Prague, Czech Republic. The full record is on the Kotlin Multiplatform review, and the rest of the category is under best mobile development tools.
