Top Recommended Replacements

Syncfusion Essential Studio

FREE

Best Enterprise Free Tier

Why we like it

100% free for individuals and companies with <$1M revenue; includes 1,800+ components across web, mobile, and desktop; excellent documentation.

Keep in mind

The visual design can sometimes feel slightly more dated than Telerik's latest themes.

MudBlazor / Radzen

FREE

Top .NET Open-Source Choice

Why we like it

Completely free (MIT license); MudBlazor offers a modern Material design; Radzen provides excellent scaffolding and a free visual designer (Radzen Blazor Studio).

Keep in mind

Lacks the specialized 'Agentic AI' generators and complex enterprise reporting tools found in the Telerik DevCraft bundle.

shadcn/ui

FREE

Best Modern Pattern (React/Tailwind)

Why we like it

Not a library, but a pattern: you copy the code into your project; absolute control over styling; highly lightweight and performant.

Keep in mind

Requires manual maintenance as you 'own' the code; limited to the React/Tailwind ecosystem.

MUI (Material UI)

FREE

Best for Mature React Apps

Why we like it

The most widely used React UI library; massive community; 'MUI X' provides high-performance data grids and charts that rival Telerik's Kendo UI.

Keep in mind

Advanced enterprise components (DataGrid Premium) require a paid subscription similar in price to Telerik.
