The bottom line

Both are genuinely Svelte-5-native and MIT, so this is not a licensing call. On raw capability SvGrid is the more complete grid - grouping, master-detail, range editing, charts, server-side, headless, and a real AI/MCP layer. SVAR is the leaner, fully-free, multi-framework option with Webix-grade pedigree, and it ships CSV export for free where SvGrid charges for advanced export. Choose SvGrid when you need the deeper feature set or support; choose SVAR when a free, multi-framework grid covers your needs.

Frequently asked questions

SvGrid vs SVAR Svelte DataGrid - what is the difference?

Both are MIT-licensed, Svelte-5-native grids. SvGrid is the broader product (row grouping with aggregation, master-detail, Excel-style range selection, integrated charts, a headless core, and an MCP server for AI tools). SVAR is a leaner, fully-free, multi-framework grid (React/Vue/Svelte) from XB Software with built-in CSV export and a strong Webix pedigree.

Are SvGrid and SVAR both free?

SvGrid Community and the SVAR DataGrid are both free under the MIT license, including commercial use. SVAR keeps the whole grid free (CSV export and print included) and monetizes its Gantt; SvGrid charges for the Pro pack (advanced XLSX/PDF export, pivot, import, AI, support).

Are both built for Svelte 5?

Yes. SvGrid is Svelte-5 runes from the first line, and SVAR DataGrid v2.x targets Svelte 5 (v1.x was Svelte 4). Both are Svelte-native rather than cross-framework wrappers.
