Both React Native and Flutter have matured significantly. React Native's New Architecture (Fabric + JSI) has closed the performance gap with native apps, while Flutter continues to offer pixel-perfect rendering across platforms.
For teams with existing JavaScript expertise, React Native remains the pragmatic choice — code sharing with web is easier and the ecosystem is vast. Flutter shines when you need consistent UI across mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.
Our recommendation: choose React Native if your team knows JavaScript and you need rapid iteration. Choose Flutter if UI consistency and performance are paramount and you're starting fresh.
