We've built production apps in both Flutter and React Native. Here's what we actually think after shipping to real users.
Flutter wins on:
- UI consistency across platforms
- Performance (compiled to native ARM)
- Rich widget library out of the box
React Native wins on:
- JavaScript/TypeScript familiarity
- Larger ecosystem and community
- Code sharing with web (React)
Our default in 2025: Flutter for greenfield apps, React Native when the team already knows React.
