A proposal for the feature split between the Pro $249/dev (eq. $20/month) and Premium $599/dev (eq. $50/month) plans.

A preview: https://deploy-preview-779--material-ui-x.netlify.app/components/data-grid/getting-started/#feature-comparison I have used the same icons as the ones we have on the coming pricing page.

I'm ok with this split. From what I can see the difference is that these features

  • Range selection
  • Excel export
  • Clipboard
  • Grouping
  • Aggregation
  • Pivoting

will be moved to the 'Premium' license and the rest will remain the same but from a business point of view, we will call them 'Pro' instead of 'Enterprise'. Am I understanding this correctly?

Just a note, maybe it is just me but I found it a bit difficult to differentiate the Pro from the Premium icon as the only difference is the color (and they are both blue, just different shades of it).

The shapes are also different, premium is longer.

Regarding the terminology, I think that:

  • DataGrid, is what we reference as the Community version, with an MIT license.
  • XGrid, is what we reference as Enterprise, with a commercial license. We will probably add a GPLv3 (open source license) along the road.
  • DataGrid & XGrid are part of the Material-UI X product. We might/likely move the DatePicker, Autocomplete, and TreeView to Material-UI X, independently from the license. Material-UI X focuses on the hard and richer components, MIT or commercial license. Material-UI focuses on building a design system per se, MIT, it has the simplest boring components, e.g. tooltip.
  • Pro and Premium are two different plans of the Enterprise version, which includes the Material-UI X product.

Is it clear?

I think the clipboard export should be in the pro as well as it's a basic feature and it is already working in the current version

@dtassone OK, what I had in mind is already covered by the "Range selection" feature inside the premium plan.

If there's any uncertainty, we can make premium features pro in the future, but much harder to go the other direction.

@dtassone What's the main reason for customers to purchase ag-Grid? Are these reasons under the "Premium" plan? If not, we should probably reconsider. The "Pro" plan is meant for any professional developers, potentially reaching the 1M of developers that uses Material-UI at their day job, leaving on the side the other 1M hobbyist building side-projects. "Premium" targets any advanced cases, especially in the financial industry.

Should we summarise the differences as
Pro => for an advanced data table and a nice way of displaying data
Premium => For data analysis, and more advanced use cases
