What are your thoughts on Flutter vs. React Native? Which framework do you prefer and why? I’d love to hear about your experiences and how they have influenced your decision-making process.
Additionally, I’m looking for any feedback or constructive criticism to improve the blog !
As a token of appreciation, I’ve attached an image of Dash fighting the React Native logo (courtesy of DALL-E)—check it out at the end of the blog! 
I’ve worked with React Native on several projects, and honestly, it’s still the go-to choice for many dev teams, especially in 2025. For junior developers, the learning curve is gentle because if you already know JavaScript and React, jumping into React Native feels pretty natural.
That’s a big win when you’re building cross-platform apps efficiently. From a senior developer’s view, the React Native ecosystem has matured beautifully — with tons of libraries and tools to speed things up.
That said, from a CTO’s lens, React Native isn’t without its headaches. When you’re scaling a complex app, you might hit performance bottlenecks or run into limitations where native modules need to be integrated.
So, while it’s still flexible and familiar, it might not always be the best fit for every scenario.
That’s a really good point, @akanshasrivastava.1121 !
Adding on, I’ve been diving deep into Flutter lately, and wow — the performance improvements are impressive. For junior devs, sure, the Dart language can feel unfamiliar at first, but once you get past that, Flutter offers a more unified and consistent UI/UX thanks to its widget-based system. As a senior developer, I’ve found that you can build highly customized, beautiful interfaces without sacrificing speed or performance.
From a CTO’s standpoint, Flutter increasingly looks like the future of mobile development. You get excellent performance right out of the box, fewer headaches integrating native code, and a truly single codebase that simplifies iOS and Android delivery. For companies looking to streamline cross-platform development, Flutter is becoming a seriously compelling option.
@raimavaswani, I completely agree!
To extend the conversation, I’d say the real key in 2025 is understanding your specific project needs. If your team is already comfortable in the React ecosystem and you’re building a fairly standard app, React Native still offers incredible flexibility and fast onboarding. But if you need pixel-perfect, high-performance apps that push UI boundaries, Flutter is catching up fast — and in some cases, even outshining React Native.
Also, regardless of which framework you pick, don’t forget about testing! Tools like LambdaTest can help you test your Flutter or React Native apps across multiple browsers and mobile devices, making sure everything works smoothly without needing to set up heavy native emulators. It’s a great way to stay efficient during cross-platform development and avoid surprises at launch.
