According to latest research data from Yahoo’s Flurry analytic, about 90% of consumers mobile usage is spend on mobile applications. It is accepted that mobile apps have become mainstream and adopted by several businesses to stay competitive in this digital world. That’s why companies are looking for a solution to build and develop mobile apps, especially for iOS and Android, with faster speed and less resources. “React Native” by Facebook and “Flutter” by Google are both leading cross -platform mobile app development technologies that can help to build interactive applications for Android and iOS. Since they both serve the same value proportion and look similar from the outside, it becomes important to know the differences between them. React Native is a more matured framework which comes with a bigger community, while Flutter offers more built-in tools and less dependence on third-party tools. Flutter is not as popular as React Native because of unfamiliar programming language, Dart (developed by google) but we consider Flutter to be a better framework as compared to React Native because of ways this framework solves the cross-platform development problem efficiently. Let us discuss why Flutter wins the race, let us look at the basics of these two frameworks clearly.

React Native vs Flutter: Why Flutter leads?

Primary aim of every app development company is to adopt a cross-platform framework enabling developers to deploy the app across multiple platforms using a single codebase. React native by Facebook is an open-source framework released on GitHub which uses JavaScript to create application while Flutter is a SDK (Software development Kit) by Google that allows to create highly responsive apps that can run on multiple platforms. Both are potential tools of 2021 in the cross-platform solution. It is accepted that Flutter is not as easy to learn as React native but if your background is Dart than it would be easy to work on Flutter. Flutter does not always need a bridge to communicate with the native components as it is built in while React Native uses JavaScript to communicate with native components resulting in bad performance. when building apps using React Native, developers must depend on third party tools which may lead to average performance and less scope of customization while Flutter have built-in components removing the dependency on third party tool completely. Flutter apps are small as compared to the React Native. Even the API used by flutter is smaller than the one used with React Native.

Flutter develops high speed and performance apps which is a clear advantage over the React Native. Flutter provides a rich command like Interface which enable setup of CI and CD easily. App development and release of automation is the one of the specific attributes of Flutter while using React Native, developers mostly need to follow the manual steps to release the app in the app markets. Flutter offers out of the box Integrated testing framework to do unit test, Integration test and UI test for mobile apps while React Native depends on third party tools for tests.

Conclusion:

Both React Native and Flutter have their pros and cons, but Flutter is predicted by many experts as the future of mobile app development clearly offering more value.
