The sv-grid-community package is free under the MIT License, including commercial use. No license key, no row-count cap, no enterprise upsell pop-ups.\n\n### How fast is SvGrid?\n\nIt renders 100,000 rows x 100 columns smoothly thanks to row + column virtualization - only the visible window is in the DOM. The headless engine has its own performance test suite tracking the row pipeline.\n\n### Can I customize the style of my data grid?\n\nYes. Re-theme via the --sg-* CSS custom properties (full Tailwind integration documented in the Tailwind guide). Custom cell renderers, header components, and editors all accept any Svelte component or snippet.\n\n### Is SvGrid compatible with my framework?\n\nSvGrid is Svelte 5 only by design - it uses runes ($state / $derived / $effect) and snippets, not Svelte 4 stores, and pays no abstraction tax for cross-framework support. For React, Angular, Vue, or vanilla web components, the same team ships htmlelements.com.\n\n### Does SvGrid work with AI tools and assistants?\n\nYes. It ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so Claude, Cursor, Zed, and other assistants answer accurately about the grid, plus a published llms.txt / llms-full.txt for retrieval. There are AI demos (natural-language filter, smart paste) in the gallery.\n\n### How is SvGrid different from TanStack Table?\n\nSvGrid is Svelte-5-native with a built-in <SvGrid /> render component - virtualization, Excel-style filters, cell selection, and inline editing work in one prop pass. TanStack Table is multi-framework and headless-only, so you build the DOM layer yourself. See the Compare page for a side-by-side matrix.\n\n### What is the difference between sv-grid-community and sv-grid-pro?\n\nsv-grid-community is the full grid: sorting, filtering, grouping, virtualization, inline editing, server-side data, master/detail, tree, accessibility. Free under the MIT License. sv-grid-pro is a paid companion that adds export (Excel, PDF, CSV, TSV, HTML), a printable view, pivot tables, and AI helpers, plus direct support.\n\n### How much does sv-grid-pro cost?\n\nTwo self-serve license tiers, both per developer. Single Application Developer License ($599) covers one deployed app; Multiple Application Developer License ($999) covers unlimited deployed apps in your organisation. Buy once, keep forever - the optional yearly renewal pays for new updates and support, and you can cancel anytime and keep every version released during your paid term. For 50+ seats, MSA / NDA / on-prem / multi-year terms, see the Enterprise tier on the pricing page.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/svgrid-a-svelte-5-data-grid-with-a-headless-core-and-an-mcp-server", "canonical_source": "https://svgrid.com/", "published_at": "2026-06-15 10:16:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-15 10:47:16.564362+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["SvGrid", "Svelte 5", "Claude", "Cursor", "Zed", "TanStack Table", "AG Grid", "MUI X DataGrid"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/svgrid-a-svelte-5-data-grid-with-a-headless-core-and-an-mcp-server", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/svgrid-a-svelte-5-data-grid-with-a-headless-core-and-an-mcp-server.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/svgrid-a-svelte-5-data-grid-with-a-headless-core-and-an-mcp-server.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/svgrid-a-svelte-5-data-grid-with-a-headless-core-and-an-mcp-server.jsonld"}}
