Flutter vs React Native β the first big decision in app development.
Iβve worked with both frameworks, and the real difference isnβt just the language:
πΉ Flutter draws its entire UI using the Skia/Impeller engine. That means you get pixelβperfect, consistent design across Android and iOS. Language: Dart.
πΉ React Native uses actual native components (View, Text, etc.), so the UI feels closer to the platformβs native experience. Language: JavaScript/TypeScript.
When to choose which?
β If your app demands consistent branding and custom, designβheavy interfaces β Flutter
β If your team already knows React/JS and native feel is a priority β React Native
Both are productionβready, powering major apps like Google Pay and Instagram. Thereβs no single βbestβ framework β the right choice depends on your team and project needs.
