Comparison
Flutter vs React Native
Which cross-platform framework for your mobile app?
Flutter (by Google) and React Native (by Meta) are the two dominant cross-platform mobile frameworks. Both let you build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, but they differ significantly in architecture and ecosystem.
| Feature | Flutter | React Native |
|---|---|---|
| Language | Dart | JavaScript / TypeScript |
| Rendering engine | Custom (Impeller) | Native components |
| UI consistency across platforms | ||
| Performance vs native | 95%+ | 85-90% |
| Hot reload | ||
| Web support | Limited | |
| Talent availability in India | Growing fast | Abundant |
| Code sharing | 90%+ | 70-80% |
Our Verdict
Flutter wins on performance and UI consistency, making it our default recommendation for new projects. React Native wins if your team already knows JavaScript/React and you need faster initial development. For most Indian startups and businesses, Flutter's superior performance and growing ecosystem make it the better long-term choice.
