Flutter or React Native? Choosing a framework for your app

Choose Flutter if your app needs a custom-designed interface and smooth animations. Choose React Native if your team already writes React or you have a React website to share code with. Both build Android and iOS apps from one codebase, handle camera, maps and payments well, and are mature enough for long-term support.

Both frameworks let you build for Android and iOS from one codebase, which can cost much less than building two native apps.

Flutter

Excellent performance and pixel-perfect design control. Great for apps with custom interfaces and animations.

React Native

Shares skills and code with React websites, with a large ecosystem. A good fit if you already have a React web product.

How we decide

1. Design complexity. A custom-built UI leans Flutter.
2. Existing team and code. A React team leans React Native.
3. Device features. Both handle camera, maps and payments well.
4. Long-term support. Both are mature and widely used.
