When to choose which

@rematch/core

Redux reimagined around models, no boilerplate.

Choose it when: You like Redux semantics but want models with built-in effects and far less setup.

  • + Model-based, low boilerplate
  • + Redux devtools
  • + Framework-agnostic
  • - Small community
  • - Less active than RTK

@tanstack/react-query

Async server-state: caching, refetching and mutations.

Choose it when: Managing data from an API — caching, background refetch, pagination, mutations. It complements (not replaces) a client store.

  • + Best-in-class server cache
  • + Great devtools
  • + Handles refetch/stale data
  • - Not for client/UI state
  • - More config than SWR
