# Migrating from Syncfusion Grid Syncfusion Grid is a comprehensive commercial grid across JavaScript, React, Vue, Angular, and Blazor, with a free community license for qualifying small teams. Moving to SvGrid trades the multi-framework suite for a Svelte-5-native grid with an unconditional MIT core. > Estimated effort: **3-6 hours** per grid. > > Syncfusion's option names vary across its framework flavours; map your > version's columns and events onto the SvGrid equivalents below. > **Facts, checked 12 Sep 2026.** `@syncfusion/ej2-grids` 34.2.7, Commercial (see licence file), last published 8 Sep 2026, 711,000 npm downloads in the 30 days to 10 Sep 2026. `@svgrid/grid` 3.0.3, MIT, last published 11 Sep 2026, 16,900 npm downloads in the same window. Bundle, minified and gzipped, each package built alone with Svelte external: SvGrid 3.0.27 99.7 KB JS + 11.3 KB CSS (measured 28 Oct 2026). Syncfusion Grid pricing, as its site states it: syncfusion.com lists the Grid SDK at $959 per developer per year and the UI Component Suite at $1,199 per developer per year, minimum five developers; a free Community License applies to companies and individuals with under $1M annual revenue, up to five developers and no more than ten employees (https://www.syncfusion.com/sales/products, read 12 Sep 2026).

If you need that breadth or Blazor, weigh it against the Svelte-native fit. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is SvGrid free, unlike the Syncfusion commercial license? `@svgrid/grid` is MIT - free for everyone, with no revenue or team-size conditions. Syncfusion's community license is free only for qualifying small teams; otherwise it is commercial. ### How do Syncfusion columns map to SvGrid? `field` stays `field`, `headerText` becomes `header`, and `template` becomes a `renderSnippet` cell. Sorting / filtering / grouping move to registered features. ### Does SvGrid support Blazor? No - SvGrid is Svelte 5 only. If you need Blazor, that is a genuine reason to stay on Syncfusion. For a Svelte stack, SvGrid is the native fit. ## What you end up with Sort, filter, group and inline edit - the four things a Syncfusion grid is usually doing. ```svelte ``` ## See also - [SvGrid vs Syncfusion Grid](https://svgrid.com/compare/syncfusion-grid/) - the side-by-side comparison - [Data export and printing - Enterprise](https://svgrid.com/docs/help/export/) - the Enterprise export pack - [Getting started](https://svgrid.com/docs/getting-started/) - a working grid in ~15 lines --- SvGrid is the Svelte 5 data grid (`npm install @svgrid/grid`, MIT).
