The Added Value Behind Entity Framework Extensions
Entity Framework Extensions gives you more than high-performance operations. Your license includes over a decade of development, extensive testing, expert support, and a team committed to keeping your application moving forward.
Here is the value behind every Entity Framework Extensions license.

- Proven reliability: Join more than 5,000 companies using a library trusted in production since 2014.
- Expert support: Get direct help, personalized examples, and proactive follow-ups until your issue is resolved.
- Long-term confidence: Benefit from day-one EF Core support and reliable monthly releases.
Build Faster with Less Risk
Building advanced data operations yourself requires far more than writing SQL. You must handle batching, identity values, relationships, concurrency, provider-specific behavior, performance, and countless edge cases—then test and maintain everything as your application evolves.
Entity Framework Extensions gives you production-ready features that work in only a few lines of code. Instead of spending weeks developing, debugging, and maintaining complex data-access logic, your team can focus on the features that make your application valuable.
Reliability is built into every release. Before any version is published, we run more than 20,000 unit tests to detect regressions and ensure existing features continue to work as expected. The library also benefits from more than a decade of development and real-world feedback from thousands of companies.
Entity Framework Extensions handles complex operations and provider-specific differences behind a consistent API. That means less custom code to write, fewer edge cases to discover in production, and less code to maintain during future upgrades.
The result is faster development, less custom code to test, lower maintenance costs, and reduced technical risk. You are not merely purchasing features—you are benefiting from years of development, testing, and expertise that your team does not have to rebuild.
Performance Without Compromise
Entity Framework is designed for developer productivity, but processing thousands or millions of entities through standard operations can quickly become a performance bottleneck.
Entity Framework Extensions uses optimized bulk operations to dramatically reduce execution time, database round trips, and resource usage. Operations that would otherwise require thousands of individual commands can be completed using highly efficient, provider-specific techniques.
You keep the productivity and familiarity of Entity Framework while gaining the performance required for demanding workloads. There is no need to abandon your existing models, rewrite your data-access layer, or maintain complex custom SQL.
The result is faster applications, shorter processing times, and infrastructure that scales as your data grows—without sacrificing the development experience your team already knows.

Trusted at Scale: Proven Since 2014
The library you choose becomes a critical part of your application. You need to know it will perform reliably today, remain supported tomorrow, and continue evolving with your technology.
Since 2014, more than 5,000 companies have trusted Entity Framework Extensions in production. With over 60 million downloads, it has become the most downloaded Entity Framework bulk-operations library—even ahead of free alternatives.
That level of adoption is more than a measure of popularity. It reflects the confidence developers and companies place in our performance, reliability, professional support, and long-term commitment to the product.
Companies also move from free alternatives to Entity Framework Extensions when they need greater reliability, advanced capabilities, and a team they can depend on for business-critical applications.
After more than a decade of continuous development, Entity Framework Extensions is not an experiment—it is a proven solution built for production.
But you do not have to take our word for it. See why developers and companies trust ZZZ Projects.
