Handsontable is a UI spreadsheet component for web apps. It is written in pure JavaScript and supports all modern frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.
Handsontable Community Edition (CE) is open-source software released under the MIT license. Handsontable Pro on the other hand, comes with a commercial license and contains additional features such as filters, dropdown menu, and nested headers.
Handsontable CE is released under the MIT license, which allows you to use it both for commercial and non-commercial products. Read more to learn about the MIT license.
Handsontable is compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer 9+, and Edge.
Handsontable works on all desktop devices, while on mobile devices you can only display, edit and navigate across the spreadsheet.
Handsontable has official wrappers for modern frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue. There is also a TypeScript definitions file available for your strongly-typed code.
If you purchased a commercial license, then your primary support channel is through an email address: support@handsontable.com. Alternatively, you can report your problem using the contact form, or by adding a new post on the developers' forum.
Any problems found in Handsontable CE should be reported on GitHub or StackOverflow.
With the purchase of a new license you get free maintenance and support for one year. Within this period you can download major, minor and patch versions of new Handsontable Pro releases for free.
We offer phone support with the Developer Plus plan. For all other plans this service incurs a separate cost.
