WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
While the difference of one year may seem like an advantage, the growth and adoption rate of React Native is much higher than NativeScript. As of this publish date, React Native records around 533k weekly downloads on npm, while NativeScript records just under 7k weekly downloads.
NativeScript's vision is to “Liberate your development by using platform APIs directly without leaving your [love] of JavaScript.” Think of NativeScript as the go-to tool when building cross-platform mobile apps with JavaScript in a framework-agnostic team.
There’s support for script changes in a .vue file as well, but it has a limitation when working with TypeScript in Vue, and there’s full HMR support in out-of-the-box NativeScript Angular projects with no extra configs needed!

Even though React Native takes the spotlight here, it does not imply that NativeScript cannot solve the business problems that React Native does for the companies using it. Looking at the awesome apps here built with NativeScript shows it can build production-ready mobile apps.
