While Flutter and Compose are both declarative UI frameworks, they serve different purposes. Flutter is a cross-platform framework for building apps across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Web), while Compose is specifically designed for Android and Kotlin Multiplatform applications. They share some conceptual similarities in their declarative approach and reactive programming model, but their implementations, ecosystems, and target platforms are different. Choose Flutter for cross-platform development and Compose for Android-first or Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
