Flutter vs .NET MAUI | Which is better ?

in this video I will be comparing.net multi-platform app UI or so-called Maui with Google flutter framework with the constantly growing demand for applications developers are always looking for faster simpler and cheaper way of delivering products to the market many cross-platform solutions cut the cost and complexity of projects by targeting multi-platforms from a single code base this can significantly impact the time to Market and availability of the product as developer could write the application once and run it on every device choosing the right platform for your next project can be challenging no technology is perfect but one can be better fit your requirements even if it's worse on paper that's why knowing the pros and cons of available solution is essential firstly what is dotnet Maur to know.net ma UI we should firstly know xamarin xamarin is a tool used for cross-platform development it was released in February 2013 by xamarin Studio a Microsoft owned San Francisco based software company founded in May 2011. in February 2016 Microsoft purchased xamarin to integrate it into its dotnet ecosystem and unified development processes to achieve this goal of c-sharp being the language of choice for writing application for any device Microsoft had to bring xamarin fully into each dotnet ecosystem it all started to come together with xamarin.forms that provides an abstract layer over native controls while building user interfaces before that xamarine views had to be implemented separately for each platform application views could be created using the platform independent configuration with XML and c-sharp this change finally allowed for defining interfaces for multiple devices from a single code but it still has some space for improvement now Ma UI stands for multi-platform app UI it is the next iteration of xamarin released in May 2022 with UI controls reviewed from the ground up Ma UI makes it easier to develop Android iOS Mac OS and Windows application from a single code base so this is the basic introduction of dotnet Mauri on the other hand what is flutter flutter is an open source SDK for building multi-platform application released by Google it took the industry by storm and became the most popular cross-platform technology surpassing react native in mid-2019 flutter's popularity largely depends on a wide range of benefits it offers for developer that speed up development and lead to more user-friendly applications flutter takes a different approach from other cross-platform Solutions it uses dark programming language also developed by Google thanks to that the framework can avoid needing separate declarative languages like jsx or XML for defining layouts or flutter code is written in that single language give more opportunities for tooling as both UI and logic share the same structure that's why flutter has one of the best IDE supports and Dev tools making the life of developers easier this is all about flutter so where Maui wins compared to flutter dotnet Mauri is younger than flutter but is based on popular Technologies thanks to that finding Talent with a large pool of dotnet developers and its similarities with xamarin should be more accessible next more native field thanks to Maui using native components for all supported platforms however it can also be a disadvantage depending on preferences as this could cause visual inconsistency between different platforms additionally ma UI has a large collection of new get packages and net tools which is available while working with Maui however it takes some time to add proper support and Port all xamarin packages to take full advantage of this ecosystem lastly if a project already uses.net Technologies it should be possible to share code between the back end and application thanks to the c-sharp language used across all Technologies on the other hand where does flutter wins the key advantage years of flutter are each performance and developer experience flutter application tends to be smaller and faster than those built with.net ma UI thanks to flutter ahead of time compilation which reduce the size of compile code not only that experienced flutter developer can also deliver features quickly thanks to a large collection of ready to use widgets and good inline documentation next flutter is more mature than Maui many applications built with flutter can be downloaded and tested thanks to an extensive collection of success stories this makes it an easier Choice lastly flutter's engine can run as a whole application or as an embeder it means that by going with flutter developers are not limited by it it is easy to jump into native code or add flutter screen to an existing native applications thanks to that flutter can be tested and showcased without total commitment conclusion both Technologies are strong competitors in the cross-platform world the best option depends on the individual situation dotnet and aui while new and less mature is an excellent choice if the company already uses the dotnet stack with a larger ecosystem Maui can cut development calls for project that can take advantage of it it will also continue to improve and integrate into Microsoft ecosystem flutter has proved to be an excellent choice for application development it provides flexibility by giving control over every pixel on the screen it is also the most popular cross-platform Technologies with many online resources making it a safe bet for companies willing to find dedicated developers so which cross-platform technology Frameworks would you prefer and why share with us your idea in the comment section below don't forget to like the video and subscribe to our Channel see you in the next video
