Enhances Customer Reporting with Economic Pricing and Stellar Support
I appreciate Bold BI for making it easier to provide reporting for our customers, allowing both our analysts and customers to easily build and publish reports. The ability to build dashboards and modify queries for specific outcomes is very user-friendly. I value the mobile readiness of the app and its integration capabilities with API structures. The addition of AI features is impressive. The economic pricing model and the effective partnership, which includes consistent and helpful support, make it an invaluable tool for our OEM model.

Exceptional product for embedding Analytics in an application
It was easy to implement data visualizations into our product. The standard widgets allowed us to build professional looking dashboards, and a robust API provided excellent control of the development and runtime process from within our application.

Easy Peasey, fresh and um... Dashboards?!?
I was looking for an solution for internal dashboarding, BoldBI was priced well, easy to understand, and well documented. I mean really well documented. Great deployment options, a JS SDK, and did i mention the documentation?
BoldBI was just right for what i needed, not too complicated, not too simple. I can train users on dashboards, or write my own custom controls. Best of both worlds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Companies and individuals with less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers and 10 or fewer total employees.
Note: An entity or organization may not have ever received more than $3,000,000 USD in capital from an outside source, such as private equity or venture capital, in order to be eligible for the Community License.
The Community License has the same features and support as the paid license, but it offers only two deployment options, the Windows installer and Linux package. With a paid license, you have access to Windows, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes deployment options. Also, managed hosting is applicable for paid license only.
We offer the Community License to boost your startup to success. Once you’re there, you’ll need to upgrade to a more comprehensive paid license. The Community License continues until you or your company are ineligible.
The Community License offers the same benefits as our $495/month Basic plan, totaling $5,940 per year—completely free for eligible startups and small teams. Use it for more applications, and your savings grow even more.
We loved what Microsoft did with the Visual Studio Community edition and decided to extend it to our products as well, including our new line of Bold Enterprise products. There is no catch, but we would really appreciate it if you could help spread the message through X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn.
There are two scenarios to be considered.
- Your organization owns the intellectual property (IP).
You deliver binaries to your customers, who have no claim on the IP itself. In this case, since you own the IP, redistribution to others is allowed under our standard redistribution grant. It is important that your customer has no claim on the IP. It is also important that the customer does not distribute or “white-label” the resulting application. They can only use it for internal purposes. If they distribute it, the second scenario applies.
- Your customer owns the IP or distributes the application built on your IP.
In this case, Syncfusion will allow you to give each client a single commercial binary license for free, provided that each entity or organization would itself qualify for the Community License. The only stipulation is that you provide us information on your customer in order for us to confirm their Community License eligibility to register a license in their name. In the event your customer does internal development or moves development to another organization, they will need to buy actual commercial licenses by contacting us. As long as your company is the only one working on the application and you continue to meet the requirements for the Community License, no further licenses need to be acquired. If you no longer meet the requirements, a Syncfusion account representative may reach out to discuss your paid licensing options.
The Community License can be used in open-source projects, but we require that you first contact us to register.
Government-related organizations (i.e., funded by tax dollars) are not eligible for Community Licenses. Governmental agencies that are not taxpayer-funded may be eligible to the Community License after signing a master license agreement. Contact us to initiate the request and to review if you are eligible.
