Frequently Asked Questions
Should we build our cross-platform desktop app with Tauri v2 or Electron?
Tauri v2 produces 10x smaller installers (~5–10 MB vs 150+ MB) with lower RAM footprint using native OS webviews, whereas Electron guarantees identical Chromium rendering across all OS versions. I architect and maintain both.
