Ask HN: React Native vs. Nativescript: which do you use/prefer?

5 pointsje422 comments

Which of the two do you use/prefer ?

What was the major reason ?

Is there another alternative for JS-based native mobile development ?

The bad thing with Nativescript is that it is developed by a company who sells components, so free Nativescript will always be a second class, will lack functionalities, etc... Basically it is a first bait for subsequently converting you into their clientele.

React Native -- all tooling is free, it's used by high-profile companies in production, and it has a much larger community
