If you are building a mobile app in 2025, you are likely choosing between React Native and Flutter. Both are cross-platform frameworks that let you build for iOS and Android from a single codebase. Here is how they compare.
React Native
Built by Meta. Uses JavaScript — the most widely known programming language. Massive ecosystem of libraries. Great if your team already works with React for web development. Used by Instagram, Facebook, and Shopify.
Flutter
Built by Google. Uses Dart — less popular but very performant. Better out-of-the-box UI components. Faster rendering. Used by Google Pay, BMW, and Alibaba.
Our Take
We use both, depending on the project. React Native is our default for apps that need deep web integration or when the client already has a React web app. Flutter wins when performance and custom UI are the top priority.
