Two strong options, different strengths.
Direct answer
React Native uses JavaScript or TypeScript and React and renders native components. Flutter uses Dart and draws its own interface. If you already know JavaScript, React Native is usually the faster start. If you want a tightly controlled custom UI, Flutter is a strong choice.
Comparison
| React Native | Flutter | |
|---|---|---|
| Language | JavaScript or TypeScript | Dart |
| UI | native components | custom rendering engine |
| Web skills reuse | high | lower |
| Ecosystem | large npm ecosystem | growing package ecosystem |
| Backed by | Meta and community |
