Its narrative began in 2015, and it has since earned a position in the spotlight. React Native is based on React, and it can function without the use of WebView or HTML technology. It also comes with a number of useful react-native development tools. However, several developers have expressed dissatisfaction with React Native navigation, citing the imperative API, the necessity to plan out interactions with Navigator ahead of time, poorly controlled animations, and other issues.\u00a0 If we analyze the situation in the UAE, a top mobile app development agency in UAE has started to utilize these two robust app development technologies with full-fledged services, and their app experts share multiple views on the usage. We will discuss their opinions in a separate article. Let us discuss the price difference between these technologies \u00a0Supportive Tech Backs Both React Native and Native scripts are mobile programming frameworks that support iOS and Android platforms; therefore, they are identical in this regard. Another advantage of Native Script is that it provides a convenient and straightforward way to access native APIs\u2026 which we\u2019ll go over in more detail later. Code Sharing The main benefit of cross-platform programming is that you don\u2019t have to build different codes for each operating system. However, it is occasionally essential to contribute something. The question is, how much of this type of effort (in percentage) do our frameworks necessitate? The Onboarding Procedure When selecting a development tool, the onboarding process is also a crucial thing to consider. And, in our opinion, getting started with Native Script is easier than getting started with React Native. And we\u2019ll prove our position in due time (just keep reading). Size of the Application The size of the application really matters. Mobile apps built with React Native will be smaller (in size) than those written in Native Script. The reason for this is that even simple Native Script apps comprise the majority of the framework\u2019s files, which increases the app\u2019s size. However, there are certain advantages: the application\u2019s size remains nearly unchanged when additional screens are added (we mean, there is no sharp rise). With new plug-ins and libraries, you can expect a few MB increase, but that\u2019s it. Additional Resources When it comes to additional tools, we believe Native Script is more generous. Although there are React-native developer tools available, they are harder to use and are only useful in very specific situations. When there are quite resemble in these two scripts which scrip you should choose as a new app developer?\u00a0 I have an answer to your concern. I will suggest you go with Native Script? So, what will it be in the end, which option will be chosen? When we first started working on the Chameleon Pay project, we asked ourselves the same questions (a multi-currency app wallet). After comparing React Native with Native Script, we determined that the latter fulfills our needs better. But we don\u2019t want to be proven wrong. On the contrary, we\u2019re going to describe why we chose Native Script for our app development, specifically, why Native Script appeared to be the ideal answer. Final Thoughts I always suggest making a checklist if you are unclear about choosing options. SWOT analysis, client budget, the requirements must be taken into consideration before selecting any mobile app scripts. It doesn\u2019t matter what you choose: you\u2019ll still need to employ a business to build Native Script apps (or a React-Native application if you prefer that framework). And we\u2019d be delighted to assist you. If you want to know more about mobile app development, keep in touch with us online. As previously stated, our mobile and web developers have extensive expertise working with Native Script and React-Native (as well as other popular mobile development frameworks). And we\u2019re ready (and skilled) to turn your app concept into a reality.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/","og_site_name":"Silicon Graphics","article_published_time":"2021-09-08T16:52:32+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-09-26T13:23:38+00:00","og_image":[{"width":900,"height":599,"url":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/native-script-and-react-script.webp","type":"image\/webp"}],"author":"Daniel Mitchell","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Daniel Mitchell","Est. reading time":"5 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/","url":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/","name":"Similarities Between Native Script and React Script - Silicon Graphics","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/native-script-and-react-script.webp","datePublished":"2021-09-08T16:52:32+00:00","dateModified":"2025-09-26T13:23:38+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/6f98a53e74271d3c820db0db36c0abb2"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/native-script-and-react-script.webp","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/native-script-and-react-script.webp","width":900,"height":599,"caption":"Similarities Between Native Script and React Script"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/similarities-between-native-script-and-react-script\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Similarities Between Native Script and React Script"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/","name":"Silicon Graphics","description":"","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/6f98a53e74271d3c820db0db36c0abb2","name":"Daniel Mitchell","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.siliconictsolutions.ae\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4410b18307deada847baf539b7abdbdd79bf600af636e8d53f1c1846a5aede0e?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4410b18307deada847baf539b7abdbdd79bf600af636e8d53f1c1846a5aede0e?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Daniel Mitchell"},"description":"Daniel Mitchell is a seasoned content writer with a flair for enhancing digital experiences.
