Infinite Table vs Wijmo FlexGrid
Wijmo FlexGrid is a long-standing commercial grid licensed per developer and per deployment hostname. Infinite Table has development licenses only, and is free with a footer.
Facts last verified on November 11, 2026, with a source link for each one.
Wijmo FlexGrid is a capable, Excel-like grid: grouping with aggregates, a tree grid, master-detail, column groups, Excel export and clipboard, with pivoting through the separate OLAP module, for JavaScript, Angular, React, Vue and Web Components. A developer license is $799 (perpetual, a year of updates included), and commercial deployments need a hostname license: $499 per hostname, or an annual SaaS license.
Infinite Table has grouping, pivoting, tree data and master-detail in one package with zero runtime dependencies, and needs no deployment licenses: free to use with a footer, $395 per developer per year without it.
When to choose which
Choose Wijmo FlexGrid if
- You want an Excel-like grid with clipboard, Excel export, accessibility and RTL.
- You use several frameworks, or plain JavaScript.
- You prefer a perpetual license, and deployment licensing suits your setup.
Choose Infinite Table if
- You deploy to many hostnames or run a SaaS product, and want no deployment licensing.
- You want a free option for commercial use.
- You want a declarative API instead of a CollectionView object model.

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 Wijmo FlexGrid
Wijmo binds the grid to a CollectionView, which sorts and groups; in Infinite Table that is the job of <DataSource>.
Wijmo FlexGrid
import { CollectionView, SortDescription } from '@mescius/wijmo';
import { FlexGrid, FlexGridColumn } from '@mescius/wijmo.react.grid';
import '@mescius/wijmo.styles/wijmo.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 view = new CollectionView(data, {
sortDescriptions: [new SortDescription('make', true)],
});
export function Cars() {
return (
<FlexGrid itemsSource={view} style={{ height: 500 }}>
<FlexGridColumn binding="make" header="Make" />
<FlexGridColumn binding="model" header="Model" width={200} />
<FlexGridColumn binding="price" header="Price" />
</FlexGrid>
);
}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>,
