It’s a different approach with different goals.

SwifDroid is about native Android development in Swift. You’re not writing cross-platform UI. You’re writing Android-specific UI in Swift, using Android’s own view system and APIs directly. The goal is to enable full, idiomatic Android apps entirely in Swift, including activities, fragments, AndroidX, and Material, without touching Java, Kotlin, or XML.

While the others focus on “write UI once, run anywhere,” often with trade-offs in UX, SwifDroid focuses on writing natively for Android and having full control from Swift.
