Are you confused about choosing between Google Flutter and React Native for your next cross-platform-app? Well, in this article I will show you reasons why Flutter is much better than React Native and why you should consider it without giving it a second thought. Imagine you could develop three applications from the same codebase for different operating systems, how efficient and productive will your life be? You will surely be confident about yourself because now without writing platform specific code, you can meet your clients needs and charge much more for your services. Flutter Tutorial For Beginners

But here you are, stuck and confused on which of the above two cross-platform-frameworks to choose to make all this possible.
Don’t worry, I have got you covered, over the past 4 years I have worked with both two frameworks and got to know their pros and cons. And in just 1 minute I will show you why you should learn Flutter because in terms of job market, performance and popularity, Flutter has more future than React Native. And not only that here are other reasons:
1. Flutter Offers a Rich UI Components Library, React Native Depends on Third Party Tools
Have you ever come across a Flutter mobile application and wonder why its response fast and looks just like a native application? Well, that’s because the Google Flutter team works intensively to provide extensive UI library/widget that have built in APIs to communicate/access native UI components. That’s why most developers say “Flutter has close native library component than any other cross-platform-framework” And because of this close native platform components, Flutter apps run much faster.
React Native relies on third-party UI libraries for rendering UI on a specific operating system be it web, mobile or desktop. So, guess what? Because these libraries are not developed by the same React Native team, you might not know how close the library codes are to the native APIs. Also, when there’s a specific UI bug, it really hard to debug because most of these third-party library providers sucks in proper documentation.
The good news is that both frameworks provide a component for accessing each native device modules, state management and APIs. But in all Flutter has close native rich UI widget/component which helps increase app performance over Reach Native.
2. Flutter Offers Clear Documentation Over React Native
If you take a good look at the documentation of both Flutter and React-Native you will conclude they both provide good documentation. But hey wait a minute, when we talk about the measure of a particular framework, it packages also play an important role. Flutter has a central place for hosting all their public packages and such packages goes through several review before it accepted.
The team make sure each accepted package has a well documentation and it easy to implement in either null-safety or no sound null safety. Also, they urge all their package developers to specify exactly the platform the package is compactible with. Aside that, each package provides an API reference link and up to date dependency version on how to install.
On the other hand, React Native also has some good well documented packages but because the team doesn’t have a central place for hosting all their packages, you can’t compare it to Flutter. Why because most React-Native developers do complain in most online dev community searching for reference on specific third-party package APIs.
