Can I use SciChart behind a firewall or offline?

SciChart doesn’t have to be online to work so can be used offline. If it’s offline and on a local host it will require an advanced license. SciChart can also be used behind a firewall as this doesn’t affect it in any way.

How much does SciChart cost per developer?

Our community edition grants unlimited free access to our charts library for non-profit and non-commercial applications. To get full commercial access, view our list of individual and package prices. Purchasing a commercial license will remove the watermark in SciChart.js and allow you to distribute the application with or without an internet connection.

Why does SciChart’s licensing seem more complex than other libraries?

Importantly, SciChart offers different types of licences that suit various user needs. This means you can find the most suitable one for you. There are bundle licences as well if you need to accommodate multiple platforms. For more information on which license is right for your use case, refer to our pricing and licensing guide.

Can I use SciChart locally for evaluation, or do I need to deploy to test it?

It is possible to run the library locally without a licence with a watermark. Simply open a browser window and use your local host port.

How does domain-locking work in JavaScript?

In order to run the SciChart component on your website, you must register the domain through the user profile licensing page. When a user adds a domain, they can use the SciChart runtime key, which is a long string parameter. The SciChart watermark will no longer be visible.

What license do I need for my use case or deployment scenario?

Most can use a standard licence for up to five domains, websites or electron apps. Licensing is per developer, meaning that one developer can use the actuated licence. For more than one developer, you’ll need multiple licences.SciChart offers different types of License which are suitable for different project and company sizes as well as varying project lengths, including developer licences, site licenses, global licenses and hybrid licenses.

Without doubt, the best charting library I have ever used. The examples suite is comprehensive to easily get you started coding on a new project. The sales & technical support staff are always responsible and eager to help. Chart customisation is extensive and rendering speed is quick.

This is an incredible product. First it's the best chart I've had customers compliment how great the charting parts of our application look/behave. I couldn't recommend this product anymore than I already do. SciChart really hit the mark. I wish all software products could be this easy to use and be so productive (not to mention blazing fast).

This is a wonderful tool for developers who need highly customizable and fast charting in 2D or 3D. I did a comprehensive market research in terms of what kind of charting I have to use for a commercial app. I've come to the conclusion that SciChart is simply the best charting framework out there meeting our needs. Keep up the good and quality work!

We have been coding Technical Analysis software for 16 years and during that time have tried most charting modules on the market. SciChart is by far the best, not only for features, speed and reliability, but their support has been above and beyond anything else we’ve experienced.

SciChart is flexible and reliable, just the component we need. We try to tweak the look and feel of the graphs to some extremes, all made possible by SciChart. Support is fast, not just a standard reply but usually a useful answer within a day. For more complex requests they really work with you to get it working.
