Flutter compiles to real native code. React Native uses a JavaScript bridge that adds latency, consumes more battery and generates cross-platform inconsistencies that teams discover at the worst times. That's not an opinion — it's what benchmarks, crash rate reports and teams that have completed a Flutter migration show.

The right choice depends on your case: for most products, Flutter is the optimal answer in 2025. For projects with significant React Native heritage and a team familiar with the JavaScript ecosystem, it may make sense to stay. Dribba, as Google's only official Flutter consultants in Spain, will give you an honest recommendation even if it's not Flutter.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions.

For most products: yes. Flutter compiles to native machine code (no JavaScript bridge), which translates to better performance, smoother animations and fewer platform-specific bugs. The ecosystem has also matured enormously: more packages, better Google support and a very active community. See our analysis as official Google partners.

It depends on your project's state. If you have accumulated technical debt, performance problems or the team spends more time on workarounds than new features, the Flutter migration has a clear ROI. If your React Native app works well and the team is expert in it, the migration effort may not be justified.

A partial migration (module by module) can start at €15,000. A complete migration of a medium-sized app is between €40,000 and €100,000. The exact cost depends on the size of the existing React Native codebase and the complexity of integrations. Talk to us without commitment.

Meta continues investing in React Native with the New Architecture (Fabric + JSI). It's not a dead framework, but first-party ecosystem growth and support are significantly lower than Flutter's. For new projects in 2025, Flutter is the technically superior choice in most cases.
