React Native gives you real iOS and Android apps from one codebase, dropping into native modules where you need to. In practice that is 30–40% less build and maintenance effort than running two native teams.
When to Choose React Native
Pick React Native when both platforms sit on one roadmap, the UI is mostly standard, and there are already React skills in the team.
