Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer. Trust me, I hear this question all the time, and there are a lot of differences :) That's why I've written multiple blog posts that answer this question and provide information about the differences between Context and Redux, how they work, and when you should use them:

Also, I have to point out that "modern Redux" with our official Redux Toolkit package and the React-Redux hooks API solved all the "boilerplate" concerns. It's way easier to learn and use Redux today. Please see our official Redux docs tutorials (unfortunately most other tutorials online are very outdated):

Hope those help!
