• Developers using Flutter report being up to 3× more productive, especially in UI-rich apps, due to hot reload, integrated tooling, and a unified language (Dart). • Flutter’s community has grown to over 1M active developers, powering roughly 30% of new iOS apps in 2024. • React Native remains strong in enterprise and JavaScript ecosystems, with easier recruiting, though Flutter is closing the gap fast.
