Electron vs Flutter
No clear leader: Electron (66.3) and Flutter (63.5) are within the 5-point margin; treat as a tie. The attribute-by-attribute breakdown below, with a source and date on every value, is the honest way to compare them.

What each one is
The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.
Electron
Electron is a framework for building desktop applications by embedding Chromium and Node.js into its binary, allowing developers to maintain a single JavaScript codebase and create cross-platform apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Flutter
An open-source framework that compiles applications to native machine code for mobile and desktop platforms, and to JavaScript for web, enabling developers to create apps for multiple platforms using a single Dart codebase.
