Are you still paying for two separate development teams, maintaining two discrete codebases, and watching your costs spiral? This approach is a relic. Over 50% of professional mobile developers now use cross-platform methods. It’s no longer a trend; it’s the default architecture for any business prioritizing capital efficiency.

The noise around cross-platform mobile development is louder than ever. Flutter fanboys are having meltdowns, and honestly, they have reason to. Professional developer adoption rates show React Native leading at 13.62% compared to Flutter’s 12.56% as of late 2025 data. But that narrow margin is deceptive. Development teams still debate this choice like it’s 2019, while the underlying market dynamics and technical architectures have shifted completely.
