Blazor Blueprint vs other Blazor UI libraries
Three comparisons, written by the people who build Blazor Blueprint. We have tried to be useful rather than flattering: each page says plainly where the other library wins, and every claim comes from that project's own published material.
Checked on 2026-09-20. Each page lists the sources it was built from.
Pick a comparison
Every page has the same shape: when to choose them, when to choose us, a side-by-side table of facts, and a component-by-component matrix.
Blazor Blueprint vs MudBlazor
MIT, free
Two free libraries. The real choice is Material Design or shadcn/ui.
- 69
- only in Blazor Blueprint
Blazor Blueprint vs Radzen Blazor Components
MIT, free
Two free libraries, close on breadth. Charts and a designer against primitives and blueprints.
- 59
- only in Blazor Blueprint
Blazor Blueprint vs Telerik UI for Blazor
Commercial, per developer per year
Free and open against a paid subscription with a support contract.
- 51
- only in Blazor Blueprint
The counts are rows in each matrix, not scores. Every library counts its own components differently, so treat them as a rough scale.
How these pages are written
- A cross means the library does not document that capability as its own component. It never means the library cannot do it — we only know what each project publishes.
- Component counts are not a score. Every project counts differently: variants, sub-components and layout helpers all get counted by somebody.
- We annotate our own gaps and not theirs. We know our library and not theirs, so a missing explanation on their side is ignorance, not a verdict.
- Every claim about another library comes from that library's own site, repository or pricing page, and each page links them.
Common questions
There is no single best one, which is why these pages compare rather than rank. MudBlazor has the largest community and Material Design. Radzen has the deepest charting and a visual designer. Telerik has the heavy components and a support contract. Blazor Blueprint has the shadcn/ui design language, a headless primitives layer and whole-screen blueprints, under Apache 2.0.
Yes, several. Blazor Blueprint, MudBlazor and Radzen Blazor Components are all free and permissively licensed. Telerik stays ahead on the heaviest components — spreadsheet, file manager, diagram and document processing — and on a contractual support response time. The Gantt chart and the pivot grid are no longer on that list: Blazor Blueprint 4.1 ships both.
Three rules. A cross means the library does not document that capability, never that it cannot do it. Component counts are not compared as scores, because every project counts differently. And we annotate our own gaps but not theirs, because we know our library and not theirs — every page says so in plain sight.
On 2026-09-20. Competitor pages age badly, so each comparison lists the sources it was built from and links them. If something is out of date, open an issue and we will fix it.
