# multiplatform

[Luca]

Anyone have any links to any up-to-date overviews of mobile multiplatform ecosystem comparisons. Like react native vs flutter vs compose. Something with I can share with non-native mobile devs I’m working with to give them an overview of the landscape. Something with benchmarks would be even nicer

What specific do you want to compare? Its a lot of parameters here.
The complex part is while evaluating, the differences changes while evaluating kind a.

Each of them evolves a lot, except React Native which feels like dead as Facebook abandoned it a long time ago. I know its maintained, but not well imo.
Flutter and Compose multiplatform is on the uprise I think. Then we have Kotlin multiplatform if not want to share UI, more domain level instead. Like share code in BE and clients as of example, or between iOS and Android.

Depending on your own needs the comparison differs a lot what is good for you or not good, but could be completely different for someone else.

Also I think important to distinguish multiplatform/crossplatform vs building things natively. In some cases it can be easier/better to go native on Android and iOS instead of try Flutter, RN or CMP. But also that differs a lot on the needs.

@Joel Denke I personally have done a ton of Kotlin Multiplatform & CMP work. So I know the ins and outs. I’m more just looking for if anyone knows of any blog posts or articles going over the current state of multiplatform ecosystems to share with others so I don’t have to try and explain it to them haha

A performance comparison would be cool to see. I can’t say I’ve seen any articles focusing on performance. I’m basically doing my best to try and convince the people I work with that we shouldn’t use react native. I personally think it awful. I’ve never used a react native app that I thought felt well made.
