Thanks for the question :)
IT Minds, is a consultancy company, and we do both Flutter and React Native. I do personally choose react native over flutter for multiple reasons. To name a few:

  • Flutter is based on a rendering engine called SKIA, where react native is targeting the native rendering platform on each platform. This means that you miss out on features like font scaling and other native things, on each platform, if your are using flutter.
  • React Native is javascript based, and lives in the javascript envirormet, which tools from the javascript world integrates with my build system. An example is the javascript version of openapi-genrator which is better supported than the flutter version, as the community is bigger

Hope this answers your question. Don't hesistate to reach out, if you have futher questions :D
