Introduction
Businesses developing native applications are often torn between Flutter and React Native. These hybrid apps have many positive implications for developers and both these mobile development frameworks have competent tools and features. Yet the question remains, which is the best mobile framework for the new mobile development requirements in 2024?
In this article, we will learn the answers to this question by looking at the popularity of these frameworks, and the ease at which a user can learn to use them.
Flutter and React Native are both modern, popular cross-platform mobile app frameworks. React Native was developed by Metaverse (Facebook) in 2015, and Flutter was set up by Google in 2017.. Let’s compare some essential factors and the background of these frameworks to get a better idea as to which framework will work best for you.

React Native uses JavaScript, the most popular language globally, developed by Netscape in 1995. JavaScript is a quite old and commonly used language as compared to Dart

Architecture |
Flutter does not need to connect with a bridge to convert Dart UI elements into native UI elements. Flutter uses Flutter Skia Engine, which renders UI elements instead of converting. Hence, the Flutter performance engine gives a smooth app experience like a native. |
React Native uses JS-Bridge for converting components into native UI elements, as shown in the architecture. |
