Ads & Partnerships

Quick Summary

TanStack libraries are forever free for everyone, including companies, without any hidden cost, agenda, paid upsells, or licensing shenanigans. We've removed third-party ads from the site to give you a faster, cleaner experience.

TanStack is independently operated with no paid products and no venture capital. We're a small, focused team dedicated to creating open source software used by millions of developers daily.

We previously used third-party programmatic ads to help fund development. While they served us well, they came with trade-offs: heavy scripts, slow page loads, and a cluttered experience. We've decided to move in a different direction.

What's Changed

  • No more third-party ads. We've completely removed all external ad networks and their associated scripts from the site.
  • Faster pages. Without heavy ad SDKs and chained dependencies, every page loads significantly faster.
  • Private partnerships only. Going forward, any ads you see will be from carefully selected TanStack partners — served directly, with no third-party tracking.
  • Lightweight by design. Partner placements will be static images or text — no heavy iframes, no auction waterfalls, no surprise JavaScript.

How We Stay Sustainable

TanStack is funded through a combination of partnerships, GitHub sponsors, and direct collaboration with companies that depend on our tools. This model lets us stay independent while keeping everything free and open source.

Our Commitment

TanStack remains independently operated with no controlling interests over our technical direction and no hidden agendas. Our independence means we can focus on what matters: building great tools for developers.
