Flutter vs React Native: 5 reasons business leaders pick Flutter

Why Flutter is a stronger choice than React Native when you need consistent iOS/Android apps with lower cost and time-to-market.

Mobile apps are now essential for customer communication and sales. Building separate iOS and Android apps often raises cost and slows releases. Google’s open-source UI toolkit Flutter lets you ship both platforms from one codebase. React Native offers cross-platform too, but here are five reasons many executives choose Flutter instead.

1. Cost

Traditionally you need two teams—Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android—plus a separate web admin team, and coordination among them. Flutter began as a mobile cross-platform framework and now targets Web, Windows, Mac, and Linux too. One team can build mobile apps and admin web apps together, keeping consistency and reducing headcount and cost. React Native can handle iOS/Android, but the web side typically uses React with little code sharing.

2. Productivity

2.1 Dart’s static typing

Flutter uses Google’s Dart language. Its simple syntax and sound type system catch many errors at compile time and reduce bugs. The mix of object-oriented and functional features also helps productivity.

2.2 Hot Reload

Flutter’s Hot Reload updates UI in seconds while keeping state, avoiding slow rebuilds on every change and accelerating iteration.

3. Quality

Performance and UX matter. Flutter delivers 60fps, native-like performance. You can move fast with built-in Material widgets or craft pixel-perfect custom UI.
