OGE UI vs MUI X
MUI X is the advanced component line for React from MUI, split into a free MIT Community plan, a paid Pro plan ($15/month per developer billed annually) and a paid Premium plan ($49/month per developer billed annually). OGE UI is an open-core suite for React and Angular whose Data Grid, Tree List, inputs, forms and AI assistant are MIT-licensed in full.
If you are evaluating a MUI X alternative for React — or need the same components in both React and Angular — the main difference is where the paywall sits: row grouping, aggregation, Excel export, cell range selection, master-detail and the AI grid assistant are MIT in OGE UI, whereas MUI X places them in Pro or Premium.
When to pick which
Pick MUI X if…
- Your app is already built on `@mui/material` and Emotion/Pigment CSS, and you want the Data Grid to share the exact MUI `ThemeProvider` and `sx` prop.
- You want tree data and pivoting inside the same `DataGridPremium` component; OGE UI keeps them in the separate Tree List and Pivot Grid components.
- You only target React and prefer the largest React-specific ecosystem.
Pick OGE UI if…
- You need row grouping, aggregation, Excel/PDF export, cell range selection, master-detail, server-side data or an AI grid assistant without a paid license — they are MIT in OGE UI.
- You ship both React and Angular and want one framework-free engine, identical keyboard behavior and shared CSS `--oge-*` design tokens across both.
- You prefer zero CSS-in-JS runtime overhead: OGE UI uses plain CSS custom properties with optional Tailwind and Bootstrap bridges.
- You also need Gantt, BPMN 2.0, Kanban, Spreadsheet (230+ Excel formulas), Scheduler, Pivot Grid or Charts: OGE UI Pro covers all seven commercial families for $299 per developer per year.

Migrating from MUI X
- Install
@oge-ui/react-grid(or the@oge-ui/reactumbrella).<OgeGrid rows={rows} columns={columns} />subscribes to the headless engine withuseSyncExternalStoreand requires noThemeProvider. → Set up your project - Server-side sorting, filtering, pagination and grouping map to
CustomDataSourceload(options), replacingpaginationMode="server",sortingMode="server"andfilterMode="server". → Remote data - Master-detail panels (
getDetailPanelContent) map to the grid’s master-detail row template. → Master-detail - Cell range selection, copy/paste and fill handle work out of the box under MIT via
selectionMode="cell". → Range selection
Questions
Is OGE UI a free MUI X Pro and Premium alternative for React?
For the Data Grid and Tree List, yes: multi-column sorting/filtering, column and row pinning, master-detail, row grouping, aggregation, cell range selection, Excel export and the AI assistant are all MIT-licensed in `@oge-ui/react-grid` and `@oge-ui/react-ai`.
Does OGE UI work in both React and Angular?
Yes. Every OGE UI component family ships both an idiomatic React layer (`@oge-ui/react-*`) and an Angular layer (`@oge-ui/*`) on top of the same framework-free TypeScript engine. MUI X is React-only.
How does OGE UI Pro pricing compare with MUI X Premium?
MUI X Premium is $588 per developer per year ($49/month billed annually). OGE UI’s Data Grid, Tree List, inputs, forms and AI assistant are free (MIT), and OGE UI Pro — covering Pivot Grid, Charts, Scheduler, Gantt, Kanban, BPMN and Spreadsheet — is $299 per developer per year.
