MUI X Alternative, Licensed Per Domain

MUI X is a React component, so the framework question is settled before the price one. Lattice Grid is one edition, licensed once per domain, that runs whatever the page is built with, with the developer count and any tier chart left out of it.

Build on localhost, free See how the pricing compares

No key, no countdown, no sales call.

MUI X is React only

This is the constraint that decides it before price does. MUI X is a React component, so a team on Vue, Angular, Svelte or plain HTML cannot use it at all, and a team that later adopts a second framework cannot share the grid across both. Lattice Grid is vanilla JavaScript with no runtime dependencies: it mounts on an element, has adapters for React, Vue and Svelte, and ships a web component and an htmx integration for the no-build and server-rendered cases. The same grid and the same API run whatever the page is built with, and one licence covers every framework your app grows into.

What it costs here, and how to compare it

Lattice Grid is one edition and one number: $1,000 for a named domain or $10,000 for a wildcard, paid once, with unlimited developers and a year of support. Aggregation, pivoting, row grouping, tree data, master-detail and Excel export are all in it, so there is no tier above the one you are on and no second quote when someone asks for a pivot.

To put that beside MUI X, read their current tiers on mui.com/pricing and ours on our pricing page, then price both for the team you have and the features you know you will ask for. We do not restate their figures here, because a price copied onto our page is out of date the moment theirs moves. The thing to check while you are there is which tier holds aggregation, pivoting and Excel export, since that is usually the gap between the number you costed and the number you pay.

Lattice Grid pricing is on our own pricing page: one year of support included, renewing optional. Development on localhost is free, with every feature and no key.

Nothing is gated. Start there.

The whole grid runs on localhost, free: every feature, no key, no countdown, no sales call. Deploy it somewhere without a key and it still renders everything, with a small trial watermark. So the honest first move is to build the screen, show it to whoever asked for it, and deal with the money afterwards.

Below is a live grid running on this page, with aggregation and pivoting switched on. Both are part of the single edition here, with no tier to pick. Pivot a field, group by a column, and watch the totals recompute against the filtered rows.

Where the grids line up

Everything in the Lattice Grid column is in the release shipping today. Which tier each row sits in on their side is theirs to publish and theirs to change, so read it on mui.com/pricing rather than taking a snapshot of ours.

The part most grids leave to you

These are in the one edition here. If they matter to you, look for each of them by name on any grid you are weighing, ours included.

Moving from MUI X

On React, the direct move is LatticeDataGrid: it takes the MUI X Data Grid's free-tier props under MUI's own names, so most of a page built against <DataGrid> keeps its JSX, its column definitions and its callbacks, and swaps one import. What it will not fake is refused once, by name, rather than half-applied: MUI system styling and copied class names are not emulated (theme the grid through its own tokens instead), client-side pagination is refused over a pushdown, paged or remote source, and the MUI X Pro and Premium props (row grouping, tree data, aggregation) are not mapped onto anything, since only the free-tier props were checked against a real MUI X Data Grid; configure Lattice's own grouping, tree data or aggregation there instead of expecting a Pro prop to carry across. For Vue, Angular, Svelte or plain HTML, or for anything outside that prop set, the table below lines up the underlying concepts with the framework-free API.

The only reliable way to size the move is to build the real screen against your own data. On localhost that is free. If it looks worth doing, tell us what you are coming from and we will help with the migration. Get in touch.

When MUI X is the right choice

If your application is already built on Material UI and reaches for the Pro or Premium tier, row grouping, tree data, aggregation, MUI X is still the native choice there: nothing changes, and matching those tiers prop for prop is not something this page claims. Lattice Grid now takes on the Material 3 look on request, through a preset stylesheet or a live read of your own theme object, and on React, LatticeDataGrid keeps most of a page's props and callbacks intact when it does move. Weigh that against the free tier you are actually using today.

Once you step outside that case, Lattice Grid is the stronger fit, and for reasons that are structural rather than cosmetic. It is vanilla JavaScript with no runtime dependencies, so it runs on Vue, Angular, Svelte or plain HTML, not React alone, and one licence covers every framework your app grows into. Aggregation, pivoting and Excel export ship in the single edition, so the grid you actually need is the grid you priced. It is one number per domain, paid once, and it does not move when the team does. And it brings a layer most grids leave to you: a live statistics and value-diagnostics read over your filtered rows, charts drawn from those same rows, and a presentation mode for the screen people work in. If you cannot use a React-only grid, or the tier you costed is not the tier you need, that is the case for switching.
