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
