Quick question, but maybe long answer:

Does anyone have some actual case studies on how much cost was saved, how much velocity was increased, when using KMP/KMM (compared to not using it, doing it all in pure native framework)?

Well I can give you a different angle. The company I work for started off last year with Android version of our product, since it's the majority of their customers. So this year we started off the iOS version, but we are only writing the UI, because the core business logic is in Kotlin Multiplatform. So the iOS guy (the company decided to hire just one, WhatsApp style) was just consuming the SDK. I can't get you numbers, but you get the gist.

The roll out was fast. But that's our case.
So on the mobile team, we have 3 engineers categorized as UI (Compose), UI (SwiftUI), business logic guy (me) lol.

Thanks for your answer!

We have the anecdotal evidence and understand the possible benefits.

But for selling it up to management, to get some budget/time for training, it'd be great if there are some 'hard' numbers showing the benefits, case studies 🙂

The marketing page of KMP features many case studies with lengthy blog posts, maybe this could help? https://kotlinlang.org/lp/mobile/case-studies/
