Flutter
Dart and a shared rendering system for custom interfaces, with platform integrations provided through plugins or native code.
[ comparison — cross-platform frameworks ]
Flutter vs React Native: choose for your app.
Compare team skills, interface needs and native integrations, then test the parts that carry the most technical risk.
( summary )
Both cross-platform, different strengths.
Existing team skills matter, but so do the required plugins, device features and maintenance plan. Both frameworks need careful implementation and testing.
React Native
React and native components, with JavaScript or TypeScript for shared logic and native modules where required.

| Team skills | Dart, Flutter widgets and platform tooling | React, JavaScript/TypeScript and platform tooling |
| Interface approach | Shared widget rendering, with platform adaptation | Native components, with platform differences to handle |

Common questions
What is the difference between Flutter and React Native?
Flutter is Google's UI toolkit that compiles to native code with its own rendering engine. React Native lets you build mobile apps with React and JavaScript, rendering native components. Both let teams share application code across iOS and Android, with platform-specific work where needed.
Which has better performance: Flutter or React Native?
Neither is universally faster. Results depend on the interface, native integrations, devices and implementation. Prototype the most demanding interaction and profile a release build on representative devices before deciding.
Which is easier to learn?
If you know React, React Native is the friendlier pick. If you're new to both but know a C-family language, Flutter's Dart is approachable thanks to strong tooling and documentation.
When should I choose Flutter?
Consider Flutter when a shared custom interface and its Dart ecosystem fit your team. Check required plugins, platform behavior and any web or desktop targets separately.
When should I choose React Native?
Choose React Native when your team already knows React, you want to reuse web knowledge, or you need the large JavaScript ecosystem and native library access.
Can Udaan build a cross-platform app?
Yes. We deliver Flutter and React Native apps across iOS and Android, and can recommend the best fit after a short discovery.
