## What it is

The commercial product that DXcharts Lite is carved out of. Devexperts builds trading platforms
for brokers; DXcharts is the chart inside them, sold as a white-labelled library to anyone who
wants that chart in their own front end, and Lite is the renderer at the bottom of it published
under MPL-2.0 with the paid parts removed.

The split is legible in the vendor's own developer documentation, which describes four modules:
`dxcharts-lite`, the free canvas library; `dxchart5-modules`, the add-ons for drawings, studies
and extra chart types; `dxchart5-react`, a React wrapper with UI controls; and `dxstudies`, the
study calculators. Lite is one of the four. That is the cleanest statement of the open-core
boundary anywhere on the site, and it is on a documentation page rather than a pricing page.

What arrives with the paid modules, by the vendor's count: 100+ indicators, 40+ drawing tools,
13 chart types, up to 8 charts per tab, multiple scales on both axes, drawing layers, custom
aggregations and intervals, session breaks, timezones for 350+ cities, snapshots, sharing, and
trading from the chart with market, limit and stop orders wired into whatever order system you
already run. The scripting language is dxScript, and since April 2026 there is an in-chart AI
assistant that writes indicators from a sentence of English. Note that the developer documentation
and the marketing page disagree slightly on the counts — the docs say 100 indicators, 40 drawings
and 11 chart types where the front page says 13 chart types.

Liveness, in dates, and separately from Lite's npm feed. The last dated public change to the
commercial product is a new Risk Reward drawing tool announced 9 June 2026; before that the
in-chart AI assistant on 7 April 2026 and custom JavaScript indicators on 5 March 2026. The
product-updates channel adds custom studies on 4 March 2026, seven new indicators and improved
React support on 4 September 2025, and multiple scales on 1 April 2025. Roughly one shipped
feature a quarter, announced.

## Pricing

Three plans, all of them behind the same form.

**Basic, from $499 a month.** The floor, and the only published number on the page. It buys
"essential technical indicators", basic trading from the chart, standard support and the web
platform only. Note the wording on both ends — "from" on the price and "essential" on the
indicators, which means the headline 100+ is the product's ceiling rather than this tier's
contents, and the page publishes no matrix that would say where the line falls.

**Enterprise, custom pricing.** White-labelled library, deep customisation, advanced trading from
the chart, a dedicated support team, and an option for full product ownership and IP rights.

**Lifetime licence, one-off payment, figure not published.** Web only, no restrictions on the
library, and one year of updates included. After that year the licence still works and the updates
stop unless you switch plans, which is the part of a perpetual licence that matters and the part
nobody reads twice.

There is no annual toggle on this page and no discounted yearly figure hiding behind one — the
raw markup contains no occurrence of "annual", "yearly", "billed" or "monthly" at all. $499 a
month is the rate as published.

A separate startup programme on the same page offers the same $499 entry under a "build free now,
pay later" framing with a simplified application. Its bullet list includes the white-labelled
library, which the Basic plan card does not — the two blocks do not quite agree, and that is worth
raising with sales rather than assuming either way.

**The trial is not quite one month.** Basic and Enterprise both advertise a one-month free trial.
The Trial License Agreement it runs under, version 1.2, does not fix a length at all — the term is
whatever the order form says — and it gives Devexperts 14 calendar days from the order form's
effective date to make the software available. Budget for a trial that starts a fortnight after
you sign. The same agreement is written for a customer that is a legal entity and directs
individuals to email sales instead, so this is not a library a solo developer evaluates on the
advertised path. It does permit serving your end users during the trial, which is more than most
evaluation licences allow.

## Data & coverage

None, and the distinction matters more here than on most cards because the vendor advertises a
data layer. "Bring your own market data or use ours" means dxFeed is available to buy alongside —
a different product, under a different brand, from a different subsidiary, with its own sales
funnel and its own price. Buying DXcharts buys the chart. The vendor's own FAQ puts it plainly
enough: the library is built to be data-agnostic, and the developer docs repeat it as "data feed
agnostic".

That is why this card sits in charting and not in market data. dxFeed's own coverage claims are
dxFeed's to make on a card of its own, if it ever gets one.

On crypto specifically, the useful evidence is in the product rather than in the marketing. The
demo build carries an instrument-type enum of STOCK, FOREX and CRYPTO, and it anchors the daily
aggregation per type — equities at the session start, FX and crypto at midnight. It reclassifies a
symbol as crypto from the venue convention dxFeed uses for crypto exchanges, and it ships a saved
chart state for BTC/EUR on Bitfinex. Set against that: the product page's feature list and the
whole developer documentation portal mention crypto nowhere, and the one session feature they do
advertise is pre- and post-market breaks, which is an equities concern. This is a library built
for brokers that knows what a 24/7 instrument is, not a crypto-native product.

## Integrations

Compatible framework versions are published and current: React 19, Angular 19, Vue 3, Next.js
15.3, Vite 6, Webpack 5.89+, JavaScript ES2024. The React wrapper is the documented path, with an
API reference for providers — the interface through which you hand it your data — a styling layer
built on styled-components, and a `<script>` widget for dropping a chart into a page without a
build step.

Distribution is a private npm registry you get access to as a customer. The documentation carries
a "Quick Start - Zip" specifically for teams who do not have that access, which is the honest
signal about how this is delivered.

Mobile exists and is not what the word "native" usually implies. Devexperts publishes iOS and
Android libraries, and its own case study on them says the team deliberately shipped the
interactive chart canvas rather than the whole web feature set, and that the mobile library "is
essentially an embedded browser rendering the core chart". Their argument for it is consistency
and automatic inheritance of new web features; the trade-off is the one you would expect from a
web view. The Basic plan does not include mobile in any case.

No MCP server. The documentation portal's answer to AI tooling is `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt`
files for coding assistants to parse, not a server to connect to; there is no MCP server on the
product page, in the developer documentation or in any of the 32 public repositories of the
Devexperts GitHub organisation, of which `dxcharts-lite` is the only charting one.

## Limitations

**No price you can act on without a sales call.** One published number, expressed as a floor, on
one of three plans. The other two are "custom pricing" and "one-time payment" with no figure. Even
the $499 entry goes through a form answered within a business day. If your procurement needs a
quote before a conversation, there is nothing here to quote.

**"Essential technical indicators" is not 100+.** The headline count belongs to the product; Basic's
bullet says essential, and no feature matrix on the page resolves the difference. The same applies
to "basic trading from chart" against Enterprise's "advanced". Ask for the list in writing before
the trial, because the trial is where you will otherwise discover it.

**Web only below Enterprise.** Basic says so in its own bullet, and the lifetime licence is scoped
to "DXcharts for the web". Mobile is a separate conversation, and when you get there the mobile
library is a chart canvas in an embedded browser by the vendor's own description.

**A year of updates on the lifetime licence.** The perpetual plan is perpetual about the licence,
not about the shipping. Given the product's cadence — the risk-reward tool, the AI assistant,
custom JavaScript indicators, all inside 2026 — a year of updates is a real limit rather than a
formality.

**14 days of a one-month trial can be delivery.** The agreement permits it, and it is not mentioned
next to the words "1 month free trial".

**No individual evaluation path.** The trial agreement is for entities; individuals are told to
email sales. There is no account to open, no key to get, and no way to form your own opinion of the
library before a company signs something.

**Nothing crypto-specific is documented.** The instrument model handles crypto correctly as far as
the demo build shows, but there is no crypto documentation, no named crypto customer, and no
reference to 24/7 markets anywhere in the vendor's developer material. The one advertised session
feature is pre- and post-market breaks. You would be an unusual customer, not an unsupported one.

**The vendor's own numbers are the only adoption evidence.** "More than 20 platforms with over
400,000 traders" is Devexperts' claim on its own page, with no named venue attached to it beyond
the testimonial block.

## Alternatives

[DXcharts Lite](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/dxcharts-lite) is the same rendering core for nothing, and the honest first
move — it draws candles, axes, panes and a crosshair, and it tells you within an afternoon whether
the engine suits your app before anyone talks to sales. What it cannot tell you is what the paid
modules feel like, because it contains none of them.

[ChartIQ](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/chartiq) is the closest thing to a direct competitor — the same shape of
heavyweight broker SDK with its own study scripting language, sold the same way through an account
manager — and DXcharts is the one of the two with a published entry price, which is the whole
difference at the evaluation stage.

[TradingView Advanced Charts](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/tradingview-advanced-charts) is the one that costs nothing
and is not open source. The attribution has to stay visible and your product may not sit behind a
paywall; if you can live with both, it is the default for a reason and the reason is the price.
[KLineChart](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/klinechart) is the Apache-2.0 answer when you want indicators and drawing
tools in the box without a licence negotiation.

The argument for paying Devexperts is narrower than the feature list makes it look. It is that the
engine is the one already running inside broker platforms, that the free half lets you audit the
rendering before you commit, and that when you outgrow the free half there is a vendor to buy the
rest from rather than a fork to maintain.

## FAQ

### What does DXcharts have that DXcharts Lite does not?

The indicator engine, the drawing tools and the UI. Devexperts' own developer documentation splits the product into four modules — dxcharts-lite is the free canvas renderer, dxchart5-modules adds drawings, studies and extra chart types, dxchart5-react is a React wrapper with controls, and dxstudies is the package of study calculators. Lite is the first of the four. The paid product is all of them, plus the dxScript scripting language and an in-chart AI assistant.

### Does DXcharts come with market data?

No. The library is data-feed agnostic and you supply the feed. The vendor offers dxFeed as an option, but dxFeed is a separate product under a separate brand with its own sales process and its own price, so buying DXcharts buys a chart and nothing to put in it.

### How much does it cost?

Basic starts at $499 a month, Enterprise is custom, and there is a lifetime licence as a one-off payment whose figure is not published. Every plan goes through a form; the page promises a reply within one business day. There is no self-serve checkout and no free tier — DXcharts Lite is the free thing, and it is a different build.

### Can I trial it as an individual developer?

Not on the advertised path. The Trial License Agreement is written for a customer that is an entity and tells individuals to email sales instead. It also gives the vendor 14 calendar days from the order form to make the software available, which comes out of a trial advertised as one month.

### Does DXcharts handle 24/7 crypto markets?

Its instrument model has a crypto type, and it anchors the daily bar differently per type — equities at the session start, FX and crypto at midnight. That is the thing that usually breaks on a chart built for stock sessions. It is visible in the product's own demo build rather than in any documentation, which is the level of confidence to hold it at.
