Infinite Table vs DevExtreme DataGrid

DevExtreme DataGrid is one component in a large commercial UI suite. Infinite Table is a single, zero-dependency data grid, free to use with a footer.

Facts last verified on November 11, 2026, with a source link for each one.

TL;DR

DevExtreme DataGrid is a mature, full-featured grid inside DevExpress's JavaScript UI suite: grouping with summaries, master-detail, five editing modes, many filter UIs, Excel and PDF export and remote operations, for React, Angular, Vue and jQuery. Pivoting and tree data live in separate components (PivotGrid and TreeList). It is sold as a subscription, $899.99 per developer per year for DevExtreme Complete, with no free tier.

Infinite Table has grouping, pivoting and tree data in the grid itself, with zero runtime dependencies, and is free to use with a footer ($395 per developer per year without it). DevExtreme is ahead on export, accessibility, RTL and the breadth of its surrounding suite.

When to choose which

Choose DevExtreme DataGrid if

  • You want one vendor for a whole UI suite: grid, charts, scheduler, forms and more.
  • You need Excel or PDF export, or documented accessibility and RTL.
  • You also build with Angular, Vue, jQuery or ASP.NET.
  • You want commercial support from a large vendor.

Choose Infinite Table if

  • You want pivoting and tree data in the same grid, not in separate components.
  • You want a grid you can use commercially for free, or a lower price per developer.
  • Dependency count and bundle size matter to you.
  • You want a declarative API where every piece of state is a prop.

Measured on November 11, 2026 with the latest versions on npm. Runtime dependencies: every package that npm install adds besides the grid's own packages and the framework, including required peer dependencies. JS / CSS: esbuild 0.25.10 bundle of the minimal getting-started usage, minified, React or Vue left out, gzip level 9 (kB = 1,000 bytes). Fonts and images are not counted. Numbers include required peers such as a design system, so they are lower if your app already ships those. The measurement script is open source: run it to reproduce or update these numbers.

Migrating from DevExtreme DataGrid

DevExtreme configures columns with nested <Column> elements; Infinite Table uses a columns object. Data, sorting and grouping move to <DataSource>.

DevExtreme DataGrid

import DataGrid, { Column } from 'devextreme-react/data-grid';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

type Car = { id: number; make: string; model: string; price: number };

const data: Car[] = [
  { id: 1, make: 'Tesla', model: 'Model Y', price: 64950 },
  { id: 2, make: 'Ford', model: 'F-Series', price: 33850 },
];

export function Cars() {
  return (
    <DataGrid dataSource={data} keyExpr="id" height={500}>
      <Column dataField="make" caption="Make" sortOrder="asc" />
      <Column dataField="model" caption="Model" width={200} />
      <Column
        dataField="price"
        caption="Price"
        cellRender={(cell) => <b>{cell.value}</b>}
      />
    </DataGrid>
  );
}

Infinite Table

import { DataSource, InfiniteTable } from '@infinite-table/infinite-react';
import type { InfiniteTablePropColumns } from '@infinite-table/infinite-react';
import '@infinite-table/infinite-react/index.css';

type Car = { id: number; make: string; model: string; price: number };

const data: Car[] = [
  { id: 1, make: 'Tesla', model: 'Model Y', price: 64950 },
  { id: 2, make: 'Ford', model: 'F-Series', price: 33850 },
];

const columns: InfiniteTablePropColumns<Car> = {
  make: { field: 'make', header: 'Make' },
  model: { field: 'model', header: 'Model', defaultWidth: 200 },
  price: {
    field: 'price',
    header: 'Price',
    renderValue: ({ value }) => <b>{value}</b>,
  },
};

export function Cars() {
  return (
    <div style={{ height: 500, display: 'flex' }}>
      <DataSource<Car>
        primaryKey="id"
        data={data}
        defaultSortInfo={{ field: 'make', dir: 1 }}
      >
        <InfiniteTable<Car> columns={columns} />
      </DataSource>
    </div>

FAQ

Is DevExtreme free?

No. DevExpress sells DevExtreme as a per-developer subscription (DevExtreme Complete is $899.99 per developer per year) with a 30-day trial, and we found no free or non-commercial license. Infinite Table can be used commercially for free with a "Powered by Infinite Table" footer.

Does DevExtreme DataGrid support pivoting and tree data?

Not in the DataGrid itself: DevExtreme has separate PivotGrid and TreeList components. Infinite Table does grouping, pivoting and tree data in the grid.

What about the DevExtreme Reactive Grid?

The older DevExtreme Reactive React Grid (@devexpress/dx-react-grid) reached end-of-life in December 2025. This page compares the current DevExtreme React DataGrid (devextreme-react).

Is Infinite Table free to use?

Yes. Every feature is free to use, in any product and in production, as long as the "Powered by Infinite Table" footer stays visible. A license removes the footer and adds email support: $395 per developer per year, with volume discounts and no deployment or application licenses. See pricing.

How many dependencies does DevExtreme DataGrid have, compared to Infinite Table?

Infinite Table has 0 runtime dependencies: installing it adds one package. DevExtreme React DataGrid adds 42 (41 from other publishers), counting required peer dependencies but not React. Measured on November 11, 2026 with the latest versions on npm.

How big is DevExtreme DataGrid compared to Infinite Table?

Bundling the minimal getting-started usage with esbuild, minified and gzipped, without React: Infinite Table 145 kB of JavaScript, DevExtreme React DataGrid 693 kB. CSS is measured separately; the table above has both.

Try Infinite Table

npm i @infinite-table/infinite-react for React, or npm i @infinite-table/infinite-vue for Vue. Every feature is in the package.
