MESCIUS is the US developer tools company behind ComponentOne, ActiveReports, Spread, Wijmo and Document Solutions. It sells licenses for ready-made components that software teams build into their own apps: data grids, charts, report designers, Excel-style spreadsheets and libraries for creating PDF, Excel and Word files. It suits developers, agencies and in-house IT teams working in .NET (WinForms, WPF, Blazor, ASP.NET, MAUI) or JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, React and Vue.

Every edition on the pricing page has a free trial download, so you can test a component in your own project before you buy. Most licenses are priced per developer, and many are annual subscriptions.

The product families break down roughly like this. ComponentOne covers .NET UI controls for WinForms, WPF, WinUI, MAUI, Blazor and ASP.NET. ActiveReports handles report design and viewing in .NET and JavaScript. Spread provides spreadsheet components for .NET, JavaScript and COM. Document Solutions are APIs for generating and editing Excel, PDF, Word and image files, and Wijmo is a set of JavaScript UI controls including the FlexGrid data grid and FlexChart. Support plans, documentation, demos and forums are listed on the site for each family.

ComponentOne Studio Enterprise is the broadest option: it bundles every .NET platform, the Data Services components and Wijmo Enterprise JavaScript controls. If you only need web controls, Wijmo Enterprise costs less. Teams that need reporting can choose between ActiveReports.NET for .NET apps and ActiveReportsJS, which runs in the browser with no server dependencies.

If your work is mostly document handling, Document Solutions for PDF .NET lets an app create, edit and pull content out of PDF files, and comes in single-developer, unlimited and five-developer team versions. SpreadJS gives web apps a familiar spreadsheet interface with Excel import and export, and has separate pricing for commercial and non-commercial use.

Current offers

• We don't have a MESCIUS promo code right now.
• Free trials are available for every product family, so you can try before you pay.
• SpreadJS has separate commercial and non-commercial pricing, which is worth checking if your project isn't for profit.

How to save more

• Compare a bundle with single editions. ComponentOne Studio Enterprise ($1299 a developer per year) includes Wijmo Enterprise, so buying the two separately makes no sense if you need both.
• Look at the team licenses for Document Solutions. A Team Unlimited license covers five developers, so it can cost less per head than individual seats.
• Run the free trial against your real project first, so you only license the platforms you actually use.
