- Flutter apps look as good on the up-to-date operating systems as they do on older versions.
React Native
- A framework for building native codebase
- Created by Facebook
- Programming language used is Javascript
- Application components look just like native ones.

Predicting the future: Flutter & React Native
Delivering projects on time is one of the most critical aspects of mobile and web app development. The cross-platform nature of both React Native and Flutter reduce time-to-market. Plus, their third-party libraries and ready-to-use components make it more efficient to use them to build your app. Better still, Flutter and React Native offer more than just speedy development, they can reduce project costs as well.
React Native is restricted to the use of native components that may need further customization by hand. A Flutter app can jump into the desktop environment immediately, while a React app must use a web interface as an intermediary for that situation
