FLUTTER VS
REACT NATIVE

Flutter and React Native are the leading cross-platform mobile frameworks. Flutter uses Dart and a custom rendering engine for pixel-perfect UI. React Native uses JavaScript/TypeScript and native components. Both can deliver production-quality mobile apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISON

Criteria
Flutter
React Native
Language
Dart (need to learn if coming from JS)
JavaScript/TypeScript (familiar to web developers)
UI Rendering
Custom Skia engine — pixel-perfect on all platforms
Native components — platform-authentic look & feel
Performance
Compiled to native ARM — consistently smooth 60fps
Bridge-based (old) / JSI (new) — near-native performance
Hot Reload
Excellent — stateful hot reload
Good — fast refresh
Ecosystem
Growing rapidly; Google-backed
Mature; Meta-backed with huge npm ecosystem
Web Support
Official web support (good for multi-platform)
Web support via React Native Web

THE VERDICT

Choose Flutter for visually rich, custom UI apps and when you want web/desktop from the same codebase. Choose React Native if your team already knows JavaScript/React, or you need deep native module integration. Both ship excellent mobile apps.
