   Flutter Vs React Native : Performance Benchmarks you can’t miss ! 🔥⚡️

   When choosing between Flutter and React Native for mobile app development, performance is a crucial factor. A recent benchmarking study compared app size, memory, and CPU usage for three app types on both frameworks using current versions. Flutter generally showed smaller APK sizes and better CPU & memory usage, with smoother scrolling and fewer framedrops compared to React Native. However, React Native had a higher FPS in bulk Lottie animations but at the cost of increased CPU and memory usage. The findings suggest that while both have their strengths, Flutter slightly edges out in overall performance efficiency.
