What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Electron

Leader

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.

Independently observed

Tauri

Tauri enables developers to create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android using web-based frontends paired with a Rust backend. Applications are small and fast by leveraging the operating system's native WebView rather than bundling a separate runtime.
