> How many Flutter developers exist in the world, today? My guess is that it's on the order of 1,000,000 developers.

I have a hard time taking this number seriously, that sounds grossly exaggerated.

Are there parts of the world where people actually use Flutter? Even their showcase is pretty light and a bit deceptive.



Flutter is weak in North America but extremely strong in LatAm / Europe / India / Africa


In India Flutter is quite popular. But I also doubt there will be professional 1M flutter devs our there. However if we include students and hobbyists, then definitely there could be a 1M Flutter devs out there.


It's probably within an order of magnitude but it's really just hobbyists, casuals and indies using it.

If you compare it to React Native there probably are more Flutter apps published but if you drill down into the top 1000 on each app store you would be lucky to find more than a few in most countries using Flutter whereas React Native definitely makes up more than 10%, maybe as high as 30% of non-game apps. I know on my phone I have zero Flutter based apps installed and almost 20% use React Native in some way.

Source: I'm an app developer so I keep an eye on these things.
