Both are based on mutable states and developers can directly mutate state, which results in similar usage. JavaScript is based on mutable objects, so the syntax of mutating an object is very natural and compact. This is a big win for mutable states compared to immutable states.

On the other hand, there is a difference in how they optimize renders. For render optimization, while Valtio uses a hook, MobX React uses a higher-order component (HoC): https://reactjs.org/docs/higher-order-components.html.
