flutter seems promising, but their community is still (very) small whereas RN is having a big community. Main advantage of Flutter is that their compile natively.

(or when you want to deploy on the store) This price is correct for a company, but individuals, startups or very small companies, this price is simply too much. I cannot spend this price for sure. > ps: I continue to investigate (and to read the blog of Ekke), my choice is > not done yet. > > I really recommend to try out Qt with QtQuickControls2 > I believe that Qt is better, I have almost no doubt, but in my case, I doubt I can choose it due to the price. I am looking more and more in React Native, it seems manageable. It uses an js engine (like Qt) and integrates native code quite easily (like Qt).
