Introduction
Both Flutter and React Native let you build one codebase that runs on iOS and Android. The right choice usually comes down to your team, your design ambitions, and what you're integrating with.
React Native
If your team already writes JavaScript or React, React Native is the shortest path to a shipped app. It reuses skills you have and taps into a massive ecosystem of packages.
It shines for apps that lean on native platform look-and-feel and existing web talent.
Flutter
Flutter renders its own UI, which gives you pixel-perfect, identical designs across platforms and smooth 60fps animations. It's a strong pick when brand and motion matter.
The trade-off is Dart — a new language for most teams — and a smaller (though fast-growing) package ecosystem.
Our rule of thumb
Choose React Native when you have web/JS talent and need platform-native feel. Choose Flutter when design fidelity and animation are the priority and you're comfortable investing in Dart.
