effector vs react-redux
react-redux is downloaded 266.0× more often than effector (108,155,943 vs 406,673 per month), so it has the larger community and more answered questions online. react-redux ships 70% less gzipped JavaScript (3.7 kB vs 12.3 kB), which matters if bundle size is a priority. Both projects are actively maintained.

When to choose which
effector
Reactive logic from events, stores and effects.
Choose it when: Complex reactive business logic you want strongly typed and framework-agnostic, decoupled from the view.
- + Powerful reactive primitives
- + Excellent TypeScript
- + Framework-agnostic
- - Smaller community
- - New vocabulary to learn
react-redux
Official React bindings for Redux — not a store by itself.
Choose it when: Whenever you use Redux/RTK in React. It connects the store to components; pair it with Redux Toolkit.
- + Official & optimized
- + Hooks API (useSelector/useDispatch)
- - Useless without a Redux store
- - Adds a provider
