Infinite Table vs Syncfusion React Grid

Syncfusion's Grid is part of a huge component suite with a free license for small companies. Infinite Table is one zero-dependency grid, free for everyone with a footer.

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

TL;DR

The Syncfusion React Grid is very complete: grouping and aggregates, master-detail, editing, clipboard, context and column menus, Excel, CSV and PDF export, all first-party. Tree data and pivoting are separate components (Tree Grid and Pivot Table) that come with the Grid SDK. Small companies (under $1M revenue, 5 developers or fewer, 10 employees or fewer) can use it for free under the Community License; everyone else pays from $959 per developer per year.

Infinite Table is free for any company with a footer, or $395 per developer per year without it, and has zero runtime dependencies. It does grouping, pivoting and tree data in the grid itself. Syncfusion is ahead on export, clipboard, accessibility, RTL and platform coverage.

When to choose which

Choose Syncfusion React Grid if

  • You're eligible for the Community License and want a large free suite.
  • You need Excel, CSV or PDF export and clipboard paste built in.
  • You build for several platforms: React, Angular, Vue, Blazor, ASP.NET, .NET MAUI or desktop.
  • You want many other components (charts, scheduler, Gantt, diagram) from one vendor.

Choose Infinite Table if

  • You're not eligible for the Community License and want a free grid you can use commercially.
  • You want pivoting and tree data in the same grid.
  • You want one package with no dependencies instead of a family of packages.
  • You prefer a declarative API with controlled and uncontrolled props.

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 Syncfusion React Grid

Syncfusion uses <ColumnsDirective> children and injected feature modules; Infinite Table uses a columns object, with every feature already in the package.

Syncfusion React Grid

import {
  ColumnDirective,
  ColumnsDirective,
  GridComponent,
  Inject,
  Sort,
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
// plus a Syncfusion theme stylesheet

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 (
    <GridComponent
      dataSource={data}
      height={500}
      allowSorting={true}
      sortSettings={{ columns: [{ field: 'make', direction: 'Ascending' }] }}
    >
      <ColumnsDirective>
        <ColumnDirective field="id" isPrimaryKey={true} visible={false} />
        <ColumnDirective field="make" headerText="Make" />
        <ColumnDirective field="model" headerText="Model" width={200} />
        <ColumnDirective
          field="price"
          headerText="Price"
          template={(props: Car) => <b>{props.price}</b>}
        />
      </ColumnsDirective>
      <Inject services={[Sort]} />
    </GridComponent>
  );
}

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>
