OGE UI vs PrimeNG
PrimeNG is a large Angular component library from PrimeTek. Its GitHub repository now states that it is no longer under active development and receives security fixes only: development continues as part of PrimeUI, and the MIT-licensed releases stay MIT. New releases from PrimeNG 22 on come under the PrimeUI license, with a free Community license for eligible small organizations and a paid Commercial license for everyone else.
If you are looking for a PrimeNG alternative for Angular — whether because of the license change or because you also ship React — here is how OGE UI compares, starting with where PrimeNG is the better pick.
When to pick which
Pick PrimeNG if…
- You want the widest catalogue of general-purpose Angular components; PrimeNG has many more than OGE UI.
- You qualify for the PrimeUI Community license and want its full component set at no cost.
- Your app already uses PrimeNG’s theming presets and you want to keep its look.
- You need Vue as well (PrimeVue, a separate library from the same vendor).
Pick OGE UI if…
- You need an MIT-licensed, actively developed suite with no eligibility rules: the OGE UI core is free for organizations of any size.
- You need a data-heavy grid: OGE UI’s MIT grid adds grouping with summaries, range selection, fill handle, Excel/PDF export, master-detail and server-side data.
- You ship React too and want the same components, engine and design tokens there.
- You need a Pivot Grid, Gantt, Scheduler, Kanban, Charts or BPMN editor (OGE UI Pro, $299 per developer per year).

| Angular API | Signal inputs, outputs and models; standalone components; zoneless apps supported | Not verified for the PrimeUI releases — see the vendor’s docs |
| Project status | Actively developed, MIT core | Repository in security-fix-only mode; development continues under PrimeUI |
| License | MIT core suite (grid, tree list, inputs, forms, editor, upload, navigation, layout, overlay); Pivot, Gantt, Scheduler, Kanban, Charts and BPMN are OGE UI Pro | Releases published under MIT stay MIT. PrimeNG 22+: PrimeUI Community (free if eligible) or Commercial |

Migrating from PrimeNG
- Several OGE input pages name their PrimeNG counterpart: the Checkbox group, Listbox, InputOtp and Rating each map to an OGE editor with the same role. → Check Box Group
- p-table lazy loading maps to a
CustomDataSource, whoseload(options)receives paging, sorting, filtering and grouping as one serializable object. → Remote data - Every OGE Angular component is standalone, OnPush and signal-based, so it drops into a modern Angular app without NgModules. → Set up your project
- Themes are CSS design tokens; the Theme Builder exports your colors, radius and density as CSS variables. → Theme Builder
Questions
Is PrimeNG still open source?
Releases published under the MIT license remain MIT. The PrimeNG repository now receives security fixes only, and new releases from PrimeNG 22 on are distributed under the PrimeUI license, which has a free Community tier for eligible organizations and a paid Commercial tier.
Is there an MIT-licensed alternative to PrimeNG?
OGE UI’s core — Data Grid, Tree List, inputs, forms, editor, upload, navigation, layout, overlays, buttons and tabs — is MIT and actively developed, with no eligibility limits. Its catalogue is smaller than PrimeNG’s.
Can I use the same components in React?
Yes. Every OGE UI family has a React layer on the same framework-free engine, with the same behaviour and design tokens. PrimeReact is a separate library from PrimeTek.
How does the price compare with PrimeUI Commercial?
PrimeUI lists Commercial at $599 per developer as a perpetual license with one year of updates through 2026, then $799. OGE UI’s core is free for everyone; OGE UI Pro, for the enterprise families only, is $299 per developer per year.
