Overview
DevExtreme DataGrid is a heavyweight commercial grid from DevExpress, available across jQuery, React, Vue, and Angular, with a very deep feature set (master/detail, grouping, summaries, export, state persistence) and professional support.
SvGrid covers the common ground - sorting, Excel-style filters, grouping, virtualization, editing, master/detail, tree - as a Svelte-5-native grid with an MIT core, and adds a Enterprise pack for export / import / pivot / AI.
Looking for a DevExtreme DataGrid alternative for Svelte?
DevExtreme is a broad commercial suite with no Svelte target, so this is a framework decision first. SvGrid covers the grid with a free MIT core and a paid pack for export, pivot and the board and scheduler views. If you use the DevExtreme charts, schedulers and form widgets together, replacing the grid alone leaves the rest of that suite behind.
What they have in common
- Deep feature set with master/detail, grouping, and summaries.
- Inline and batch editing.
- Export (in SvGrid via the Enterprise pack).
- Paid support available.
Where SvGrid is stronger
- Svelte 5 native rather than a multi-framework commercial library.
- MIT-licensed community core.
- Headless engine + imperative API + @svgrid/mcp.
- Much lower-cost paid tier.
Where DevExtreme DataGrid (DevExpress) is stronger
- Larger feature surface and a full component suite.
- Multi-framework parity (jQuery / React / Vue / Angular).
- Enterprise vendor support and long track record.
- Built-in state persistence and a wide export feature set.
