React Native or Flutter: which fits your project?

The first question every founder asks us about an app: React Native or Flutter? There is no absolute answer — only the choice that fits your team and product.

Performance

Flutter compiles to native code and draws its own UI, edging ahead on complex animations. React Native bridges to native components; with its new architecture, the gap has narrowed significantly.

Team and ecosystem

If your team knows React and TypeScript, React Native shortens ramp-up and shares logic with web. Flutter uses Dart — quick to learn, but a new language for most teams.

• Pick React Native if you have a React web team and want shared code.
• Pick Flutter for heavy custom animation and pixel-perfect parity.
• Both are good enough for 90% of commercial apps.

The decision always starts with people and the problem, not the trendy framework.
