Free Syncfusion UI Toolkit for Startups

This news is of special interest to startups that are looking to build the first version of their product.

I just found out that Syncfusion, a very well-known manufacturer of UI Toolkits, has just released a free Community Version of all of their tools. The Community version is free to all companies and individuals with less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue and 5 or fewer developers.

I have used Syncfusion tools for years, starting in the mid-2000’s when I was consulting for Wachovia and building a CRM system for their investment bank. Syncfusion provided a lot of UI components that we would have had to spend a lot of time writing ourselves.

The Community Version has UI components for ASP.NET (MVC and Core), plain old Javascript, WPF, WinForms, UWP, and Xamarin. I am especially looking forward to using the Xamarin components for an app that I am building that is targetting iOS and Android.
