Animated Text Kit vs flutter_animate - which is better for text effects?

Animated Text Kit specializes in pre-built text animations with a simple API, while flutter_animate is more general-purpose. For quick text-specific effects, Animated Text Kit is ideal, but for broader animation needs, consider alternatives.

Is Animated Text Kit performance-friendly for mobile apps?

Accepted Answer

While optimized, complex effects like TextLiquidFill may impact performance on low-end devices. Profile your app and test on target hardware to ensure smooth animations.
