React's official repository is MIT licensed, and the docs position it as the library for web and native user interfaces. There is no React license fee; the real spend is the hosting, rendering, design-system, and monitoring stack you build around it.
- React is now governed through the React Foundation, but the core software remains MIT licensed and free to use.
- Client-only apps, SSR frameworks, and React Native stacks all have very different operating costs even though React itself is still free.
- Server Components and framework-level features can shift more work to the server, but that is a hosting bill rather than a React bill.
- Paid design systems, hosting products, and React-adjacent SaaS tools should be budgeted separately from the core React packages.
