Why investing in a commercial SDK is the right choice for your business

Long-Term Project Security

Ensure stability and flexibility with a reliable commercial SDK.

By using a commercial library, you minimize the risk of unresolved issues or discontinued maintenance. Your projects remain future-proof, flexible, and secure.

Efficient Development

Save time with pre-built components and advanced features.

Ready-to-use features eliminate the need for extensive custom development, allowing your team to focus on unique functionalities.

Superior Quality

Benefit from ongoing innovation and well-tested solutions.

Commercial SDKs are continuously enhanced by dedicated teams, ensuring consistent performance and thorough documentation.

Extensive Documentation and Support

Simplify implementation with comprehensive resources.

Documentation, tutorials, and dedicated support ensure smooth integration and quick resolution of challenges.

Continuous Updates

Stay stable and secure through regular updates.

Frequent updates from a commercial SDK ensure stability, security, and future-proofing for your applications. Dedicated teams work to maintain compatibility with evolving platforms, fix bugs, and address vulnerabilities, allowing you to focus on building great software while relying on a secure and stable foundation.

What developers are saying

Many software developers exploring yFiles pricing often overlook just how much time and money their company could save. Building an SDK of the same caliber from scratch requires years of development and substantial resources— costing exponentially more than yFiles’ one-time license fee.

With yFiles, you get a production-ready SDK refined over 25 years, saving your team from costly delays, ensuring a fast time-to-market, and delivering reliable, high-performance applications. For companies, this means immediate value and significant savings compared to the long-term expenses of in-house development.

Choosing yFiles saved us both time and money. We could focus on building our app, knowing we had a stable, reliable foundation. Senior Developer, Enterprise Client
