Zero JavaScript. Pure Performance.
Arcadia renders charts as native SVG directly from C#. No JavaScript chart engine means no JS bundle, no interop overhead, and charts that work perfectly with server-side rendering and Static SSR.
Accessibility That Passes Audits
Every chart includes hidden data tables for screen readers, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and respects prefers-reduced-motion. Full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all 12 chart types.
AI-Powered Development
The built-in MCP server lets AI assistants generate chart code from plain English. Describe your visualization, get working Blazor code. No other Blazor library has this.
4x Cheaper Than Telerik
Arcadia Pro at $299/dev/year is a fraction of Telerik ($1,249+) or Syncfusion ($995+). And the Community Edition is free forever with MIT licensing — no revenue caps, no restrictions.
Save thousands per year, per developer
For a team of 5 developers, switching from Telerik to Arcadia Pro saves over $4,750 per year. And you get features they don't have — like zero-JS rendering and AI integration.
What developers are saying
"Switching from Telerik charts to Arcadia cut our dashboard load time in half. The zero-JS rendering is the real deal."
"The MCP server is a game changer. I describe what I want to Claude and it writes the chart code. Saves me an hour a day."
"Finally a Blazor chart library that passes our WCAG audit without custom patches. The hidden data tables are brilliant."
