React Native lets one developer — or one team — build and maintain apps for both iOS and Android from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase. Done well, this is a genuine business advantage that saves you from maintaining two separate mobile codebases. GetDeveloper has pre-vetted React Native developers who know the difference between a well-built cross-platform app and one that feels wrong on both platforms. Profiles in 48 hours.
Available Now
Every developer has been tested on React Native architecture, performance optimisation, Expo workflow, native module integration, and App Store/Play Store deployment. You're choosing from a curated shortlist of developers who have shipped production apps.

React Native vs Flutter — When to Choose Each
Capabilities
React Native is particularly well-suited for products where the team already knows JavaScript and where code sharing with a web product is a priority. Here's what our developers are most commonly hired to build.
One TypeScript codebase, two stores. iOS and Android from a single React Native project — maintained by one developer instead of two separate iOS and Android specialists.
Shopping, product discovery, cart, payment flows (Stripe, Razorpay), order tracking, and push notifications — built with the performance and UX quality that mobile shoppers expect.
Real-time messaging (WebSockets), camera and media, location services, social feeds, and the smooth gesture-driven interactions that make consumer apps feel polished.
Internal tools, field service applications, and employee-facing mobile apps that need to work on company-managed devices with MDM integration and offline capability.
Monorepo setups sharing business logic, API calls, state management, and utilities between React Native mobile and React web — maximising code reuse and reducing duplication.
Moving from Expo managed workflow to bare workflow when native modules are needed — without losing the productivity benefits of the Expo ecosystem and tooling.
Our Process
From your first call to your app's first successful TestFlight build — most clients get there in under a week.
A 30-minute call. We ask about your app category, whether you need Expo or bare workflow, code sharing requirements with a web app, and target platforms.
Day 1We hand-pick 3–5 React Native developer profiles that match your app category, Expo vs bare preference, and whether you need animation heavy or business logic heavy expertise.
Within 48 HoursTalk directly with developers. Ask about their App Store submissions, how they handle platform-specific behaviour, their approach to React Native performance profiling.
Day 3–4Once you choose, we handle NDAs, contracts, and onboarding. Your React Native developer starts on the agreed date — ready to make meaningful contributions from the first sprint.
Day 5–7Vetting Process
React knowledge is necessary but not sufficient for React Native. The bridge between JavaScript and native code, platform-specific behaviour differences between iOS and Android, the performance constraints of a mobile JavaScript runtime, and the App Store / Play Store submission process are all genuinely different challenges from web development.
A React web developer hired to build a React Native app will typically produce an app that works but feels wrong — slow list scrolling, janky animations, incorrect keyboard handling, inconsistent platform behaviour, and submission rejections from App Store review that a more experienced developer would have anticipated and avoided.
Our vetting process specifically tests for the mobile-specific depth that makes the difference:
Context
This is genuinely the most common question we get from companies building their first mobile product. The honest answer is that both are legitimate choices and the right one depends on your specific situation — not on a general framework preference.
"React Native's biggest practical advantage in 2026 isn't the technology — it's that most JavaScript teams already know 80% of what they need to be productive in it. That ramp-up time saving is real money."
React Native is usually the better choice when: your team already works in JavaScript/TypeScript, you're building something that shares code with an existing React web product, you need access to the JavaScript package ecosystem (particularly for AI/ML integrations, analytics, and third-party SDKs), or you want one developer to own both platforms without language specialisation.
Flutter is usually better when: you need maximum UI flexibility with completely custom rendering, you're starting fresh with no existing JavaScript codebase, or you want the most consistent pixel-perfect cross-platform appearance with no native component variance between iOS and Android.
If you tell us your situation in the first call, we can give you an honest recommendation — and then match you with the right developer for whichever choice you make.

Our Commitments
Written commitments, before the engagement starts. No exceptions.
If the React Native developer isn't working out for any reason, we find and place a replacement at no extra charge. No disputes, no delays.
Start with a trial. If you're not satisfied with the work quality and fit, you're not obligated to continue. We'd rather earn your long-term business.
If we can't find a React Native developer who meets your requirements, you pay nothing. We don't charge for a service we haven't delivered.
