OGE UI vs AG Grid

AG Grid is a dedicated JavaScript data grid with wrappers for Angular, React and Vue, split into a free MIT Community edition and a paid Enterprise edition. OGE UI is a complete component suite for Angular and React whose Data Grid is MIT-licensed in full.

If you are looking for an AG Grid alternative for Angular and React, the main difference is where the paywall sits: features AG Grid sells in Enterprise — row grouping, range selection, clipboard, Excel export, master-detail, server-side operations — are part of the free OGE grid. The comparison below is meant to help you choose, so it starts with where AG Grid is the better pick.

AG Grid alternative for Angular and React checked 15 October 2026

When to pick which

Pick AG Grid if…

  • You need a grid-only feature OGE UI does not have yet: integrated charting from a selected range, columns and filters tool panels, a status bar with range aggregates, row numbers, find-without-filtering, or spreadsheet formulas in cells.
  • You want pivoting or tree data inside the same grid component; OGE UI keeps them in the separate Tree List and Pivot Grid components.
  • You build with Vue or plain JavaScript; OGE UI targets Angular and React only.
  • You value a very long track record and a large community over a younger library.
  • You want AI features in the grid today (AG Grid ships an AI toolkit); OGE UI has none in its components yet.

Pick OGE UI if…

  • You need grouping, range selection, Excel/PDF export, master-detail or server-side data without buying a license — they are MIT in OGE UI.
  • You want more than a grid: inputs, forms, rich-text editor, upload, navigation, layout and overlays from the same suite, on the same engine and theme tokens.
  • You want Angular components written natively with signals rather than a wrapper around a framework-agnostic core.
  • You also need a Pivot Grid, Gantt, Scheduler, Kanban or charts: OGE UI Pro covers all six commercial families for $299 per developer per year.

Migrating from AG Grid

  • Server-Side Row Model: implement one load(options) function on a CustomDataSource . It receives serializable skip , take , sort , filter , group and summary options; the grid handles the windowing. → Remote data
  • Infinite row model: the infinite-scroll mode fetches sparse row blocks around the viewport. → Infinite scroll
  • Range selection and clipboard: selectionMode: 'cell' with [(selectedRanges)] gives Shift+click and drag ranges, Ctrl+C as TSV, paste from Excel and the fill handle. → Range selection
  • Pinned top and bottom rows map to pinnedTopRows and pinnedBottomRows . → Pinned rows
  • Cell class rules map to the rowClass and cellClass callbacks, and to column conditionalFormats for data bars, color scales and icon sets. → Conditional formatting
  • Auto-sizing columns maps to autoFitColumns() and autoFitColumn(field) ; saving column state maps to stateKey persistence. → Persistence

Questions

Is OGE UI a free AG Grid Enterprise alternative?

For many grids, yes: row grouping, range selection, clipboard paste, Excel export, master-detail and server-side operations are MIT-licensed in OGE UI, while AG Grid sells them in Enterprise. AG Grid still has grid features OGE UI lacks, such as integrated charts, tool panels and cell formulas.

Does OGE UI support Vue like AG Grid?

No. OGE UI ships native render layers for Angular and React only. AG Grid also offers Vue and plain JavaScript.

Does OGE UI have pivoting like AG Grid Enterprise?

Yes, as a separate Pivot Grid component in OGE UI Pro ($299 per developer per year, free for evaluation and development). AG Grid pivots inside its main grid.

How does the price compare with AG Grid Enterprise?

The OGE UI Data Grid costs nothing. AG Grid lists Enterprise at $999 per developer as a perpetual license with one year of updates. OGE UI Pro, needed only for the Pivot Grid, Gantt, Scheduler, Kanban, Charts and BPMN families, is $299 per developer per year.
