How to choose between React Native, Flutter, and Kotlin Multiplatform in 2026: comparison table, selection scenarios, and a mobile app as the front end for 1C, ERP, and PIM.
| Parameter | React Native | Flutter | Kotlin Multiplatform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | Good for most business tasks; heavy UI requires native embeds | high, proprietary UI rendering engine | close to native: shared business logic, native UI |
| UI | native components, but complex UI is duplicated across platforms | consistent design through a proprietary engine, rich custom interfaces | native UI for each platform separately |
| Hiring availability in CIS | high: a broad pool of JavaScript developers | Medium | growing: relies on Android/Kotlin developers |
| Total cost of ownership (TCO) | usually lower thanks to speed and hiring | Medium | higher upfront, but saves on shared business logic |
| Enterprise-fit | suitable for MVPs and internal apps | suitable for consumer apps with a vivid UI | strongest in integration with 1C/ERP and offline scenarios |
| Offline and security | feasible, depends on libraries | feasible, depends on libraries | shared synchronization and security rules code is reused across all platforms |
Read the table row by row under "Enterprise-fit" and "Offline and security": if the app is a showcase or MVP, RN and Flutter win; if it is a work tool tied to enterprise systems and offline operation, Kotlin Multiplatform with shared business logic and native UI is stronger.
Need a beautiful custom UI on iOS and Android from one codebase? Choose Flutter.
Need to validate a hypothesis cheaply in a few months and hire developers easily? Choose React Native.
If the app works with 1C, ERP or PIM, must run offline and meet security requirements, choose Kotlin Multiplatform with native UI (native-first).
For mid-sized and large businesses, a mobile app rarely exists on its own.
Most often, it is an employee work tool: warehouse, logistics, sales rep, or on-site receiving.
Such an app is a front end to the enterprise landscape, and the technology choice is driven less by UI beauty than by how it fits into 1C, ERP, PIM, and the integration bus (ESB).
Key requirements for such a front end are offline synchronization so work does not stop without a network, role-based access and device management, and predictable behavior at peak load.
Here, shared business code (Kotlin Multiplatform) provides an advantage: synchronization and access rules are written once and reused across all platforms, while the native UI remains responsive.
This angle - the app as an integration front end, not a showcase - is usually not the focus of specialized mobile studios. KT.Team approaches mobile development from enterprise systems integration practice: the app is designed together with the backend and data flows, not layered on top of an existing one.
If the goal is less to choose a technology and more to get a mobile app that fits into 1C, ERP or PIM and works offline, discuss the project with the KT.Team: order mobile app development. When the scenario is web-first and a lightweight solution without app store installation is enough, a progressive web app may be cheaper. PWA - a progressive web app instead of native cross-platform.
