How to Choose between React Native and Flutter
App Development?

• Mobile apps are gaining immense popularity
  worldwide. Offering an innovative
  technology-driven mobile app is the dream of
  every business today. Developers are entrusted to
  choose the right app framework for faster and
  low-cost mobile app development.
• As we will soon usher in 2025, most developers
  have to choose the right mobile app framework for
  the future. The choice of the right app framework
  is largely driven by a faster app development
  turnaround along with reduced costs and
  cross-platform development capabilities.

Compare the Two leading app frameworks Flutter
vis-a-vis React Native

• In this article, we will compare the two leading
  app frameworks, Flutter and React Native, and
  help you decide which one to go for. From a
  developer's perspective, the two leading
  cross-platform app development technologies that
  are creating buzz worldwide are React Native by
  Facebook and Google by Flutter.
• Both Apple and Google have offered native tools
  and technologies to create apps seamlessly, such
  as Xcode and Swift on iOS, and Android Studio and
  Kotlin/Java on Android. However, this requires
  developers to learn both new technologies.
• To make developers lives easy, software
  development organizations have used
  cross-platform solutions over native solutions to
  create apps on both iOS and Android using a
  single language to build apps quickly. With the
  launch of React Native and Flutter Developers can
  build cross-platform Apps using a single language.

Facebook started React Native, which they made it
open source in 2015. Google promoted Flutter in
2017. However, Flutter has witnessed a larger
response for adoption by developers since
2017. Flutter is a portable UI toolkit that
enables cross-platform app development. It brings
along a comprehensive app Software Development
Kit (SDK), complete with widgets and tools to
enable developers to build natively compiled
mobile, desktop, and visually attractive web
applications. React Native is a
JavaScript-supported open-source application
development framework used for Cross-platform app
development. It helps create mobile apps using
JavaScript language for both Android and iOS. It
uses a single codebase and the same design as
React.

Flutter Pros

• Hot reload results in fast coding
• Two mobile platforms with a single codebase
• Less testing, down by up to 50
• The faster App development process
• Fascinating designs the users will admire with
  Stronger UI
• Same app UI even for older devices
• Perfect for MVPs

React Native Pros

• Fast refresh results in fast coding
• Two mobile platforms with a single codebase
• JavaScript is the preferred and widely popular
  language for app development
• Freedom of Choice for Developers
• Relatively higher maturity
• Vast and active community support
• Easy to learn and adapt to React developers
• Less testing, down by up to 50

Gazing Flutter and React Native from different
perspectives

• From the Programming Language perspective
• React Native Language is JavaScript, which is a
  popular language used with React and other
  JavaScript frameworks. Flutter Language is Dart.
  The easy availability of documentation on the
  Dart site made it for developers easy to get
  started.
• From the technical architecture perspective
• You need to choose the right technical
  architecture while going for a cross-platform
  mobile app development framework. Flutter offers
  everything needed for your app development, as
  Flutter contains all the needed technologies to
  develop mobile apps within it. React Native needs
  a bridge to communicate with its native
  components.

• From the ease of installation point of view
• React Native installation is easy for developers
  with a JavaScript background, but they still need
  to learn Node Package Manager for the
  installation. Flutter installation is easy and
  developers need not learn new packages for the
  installation as the documentation is easily
  available.
• Ease of getting community support
• The React Native community support is enormous
  and growing in size. Flutter is fairly new, but
  growing fast in terms of community support and
  will soon catch up.

9

• App framework DevOps and CI/CD support
• Flutter apps can be easily and painlessly set up
  on CD/CI services by leveraging its strong CLI
  tools, while React Native does not provide
  official instruction for CD/CI practices.
• Flutter vs React Native-At a Glance
• Both Flutter and React Native offer a free
  open-source framework for app development. While
  the programming language for Flutter is DART, for
  React Native it is JavaScript which most
  developers are familiar with. Both deliver great
  native performance for app development. React
  Native uses native components, and after an OS UI
  upgrade, the apps will be upgraded instantly.
  Flutter is much faster than native development.

10

• Concluding Remarks
• Development firms prefer Flutter over React
  Native. Flutter is improving fast, and Google is
  relentlessly refining its tool. As a result,
  Flutters is turning out to be a popular choice
  for the App framework for development. Flutter,
  as envisioned by technologists, is going to be
  the future of the mobile app development
  framework. In the present, Flutter seems to have
  a clear competitive edge over React Native.
