Choosing between Flutter and React Native is one of the most common decisions startups face when building a mobile app. Both are excellent cross-platform frameworks, but they have different strengths that make each better suited for specific use cases.
Performance
Flutter compiles to native ARM code, which generally gives it a slight edge in performance-intensive applications. React Native uses a JavaScript bridge to communicate with native modules, which can introduce minor overhead in complex UIs.
Development Speed
Both frameworks offer hot reload for rapid development. Flutter's widget-based approach can be faster for building custom UIs, while React Native benefits from the vast npm ecosystem and existing JavaScript libraries.

For most Indian startups, we recommend Flutter. It offers better performance, a more consistent UI across platforms, and Google's strong commitment to the framework's future. However, if your team has deep JavaScript expertise, React Native is an excellent choice.
