React Native UI Libraries comparison

  • The React Native community is not as active as the React community, offering fewer tools, but it is sufficient for most tasks especially if you are a React developer since there is not much learning curve to get into potential markets.
  • NativeWind is pretty good but has no UI components and lacks compatibility with other libraries.
  • React Native Paper is one of the best options with the most users in the React Native community.
  • React Native Elements is also good but has fewer users and less consistent design compared to React Native Paper.
  • React Native UI Lib, created by Wix, has fewer users and npm downloads.
  • Gluestack-UI (formerly called NativeBase) is not stable at the moment.
  • React-Native-Reusables, based on ShadCN, is also not stable for now.
  • Currently, I use React Native Paper, React Native's provided components, and Expo components for most tasks since they are stable, have most of the components I need, and are supported by tutorials and community help.
