Algoace

Technology

React Native, by a team that has maintained one app in it for five years.

Algoace builds and maintains iOS and Android apps in React Native with TypeScript, secure Node.js or Supabase backends and shared logic with Next.js web products. Clear Mind, a wellness app Algoace has maintained for around five years, serves 100,000+ monthly active users on React Native. [Permission on record required.]

When React Native is the right choice, and when it is not

The right choice

  • You have or will have a web product and want shared TypeScript.
  • Your team knows React.
  • You need the widest SDK ecosystem (payments, analytics, MMPs land here first).
  • The app is content or data heavy rather than animation heavy.

Not the right choice

  • The app is animation-first and mobile-only (consider Flutter).
  • You need hardware-level native work on one platform only.
  • Your team is already all Dart.

How we build in React Native

  1. 01Expo with EAS for builds and updates where the product allows it, bare workflow when native modules require it
  2. 02Reanimated for animation, never the JS thread
  3. 03Typed API layer shared with the web app
  4. 04Crash reporting (Sentry) and analytics events wired in sprint one
  5. 05Over-the-air updates for non-native fixes so store review is not on the critical path for every change

React Native or Flutter for your app

Criterion
Team reuse with a web product
React Native
Strong: shared TypeScript, shared logic with a Next.js web app
Flutter
Weak: Dart is a separate skill set
Criterion
Custom animation and pixel control
React Native
Good with Reanimated; some native work for heavy cases
Flutter
Excellent: Flutter owns the pixels
Criterion
Native module ecosystem
React Native
Largest, most third-party SDKs land here first
Flutter
Good, occasionally waits for a package
Criterion
Long-term maintenance of a subscription app
React Native
Proven at scale (Clear Mind, five years, 100k+ MAU)
Flutter
Proven; fewer senior Flutter engineers in most markets
Criterion
Time to first store build
React Native
Fast
Flutter
Fast

Questions founders ask us

Is React Native still a good choice in 2026?

Yes: it is the largest cross-platform ecosystem and the new architecture closed the performance gap for most app types.

Expo or bare?

Expo unless a native module forces bare; we decide in the scope.

Can you take over an existing React Native app?

Yes, one-week assessment first.

Do you share code with our web app?

Yes, business logic and API types.

Performance?

We measure startup time, frame drops and memory on mid-range Android as an acceptance criterion.

Maintenance?

Retained senior team, same people, monthly upgrade cadence.

Ready when the work has to be right the first time.

A 30-minute scoping call with a senior engineer, designer or growth lead. You will leave with a written view of scope, risks and a realistic timeline, whether or not you hire us.
