.NET MAUI vs Flutter

How does .NET MAUI compare to Flutter?
See the pros and cons of each framework, target platforms and more.

.NET MAUI

Cross-platform
Capacitor allows developers to build mobile apps for multiple platforms, including Android and iOS, using a single codebase.
Native APIs
.NET MAUI provides a bridge between .NET and the native APIs of the operating systems. This means that developers can access native functionality such as camera, contacts, and file storage.

Cross-platform
Flutter allows developers to build apps for a wide range of platforms using a single codebase, reducing development time and costs.
Performance
Apps built with Flutter are fairly performant as Flutter's engine and framework are optimized to take advantage of each platform's hardware.
User Interface
Flutter has built-in UI elements for both iOS and Android, allowing developers to create a consistent interface that follows the Apple and Android design guidelines.
Native APIs
Flutter provides a bridge between to native APIs. This means that developers can access native functionality like the camera, accelerometer and much more.
Large Community
Flutter has a large and active developer community, which means there is plenty of documentation, tutorials, and examples available to help developers build desktop apps.

Emerging Community
.NET MAUI is a relatively new framework, which means that there is not a lot of tutorials, and examples available to help developers apps.
Learning Curve
.NET MAUI apps are built with C#, which is easy to get started with. But MAUI itself is a complex framework with very little documentation.

Learning Curve
Dart is not a very popular language, so developers will have to learn a new language to build apps with Flutter.
App Size
Flutter apps tend to be larger than native apps due to Flutter engine being bundled with them.
