Bloc vs Riverpod: Choosing the Right State Management

Comparing two popular Flutter state management solutions and when to use each one in production apps.

State management is one of the most debated topics in the Flutter community. Let’s break down Bloc and Riverpod.

Bloc

Bloc uses streams and events to manage state. It enforces a strict pattern that makes state changes predictable and traceable.

Riverpod

Riverpod takes a more flexible approach with providers. It’s compile-safe and doesn’t depend on BuildContext.

When to Use Which

  • Bloc — Large teams, strict patterns, complex business logic
  • Riverpod — Smaller teams, rapid prototyping, simpler state needs
