Here's why our customers love us
See how Bold Reports is making an impact in businesses with powerful reporting, as shared by our satisfied customers.
Bold Reports is a user-friendly and powerful reporting tool. The desktop designer and writer for .NET Core make report creation easy, and connecting to databases is seamless. It’s a great solution for generating offers, invoices, and reports in our CRM app.
Muhammed Y
Co-Founder & Full-Stack Developer
We switched from SSRS with little effort. It works great in our WPF and Blazor applications, supports our old reports, and lets developers create new ones easily. The pricing is fair for ISVs, and the support team is fast and helpful. Onboarding was smooth and responsive.
Aaron S
CEO
Bold Reports was easy to integrate and works smoothly. It creates clean, professional-looking reports, and the documentation is clear with plenty of helpful examples. I had no issues during setup and it was a great experience overall.
Domenico D
Funzionario
Bold Reports is easy to use, enabling both teams and business users to modify reports confidently. Setup is quick and smooth. It integrates well with SQL Server, Microsoft Fabric, and other tools, reduces infrastructure complexity, and works reliably for recurring reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Companies and individuals with less than $1,000,000 USD in annual gross revenue and 5 or fewer developers and 10 or fewer total employees.
Note: An entity or organization may not have ever received more than $3,000,000 USD in capital from an outside source, such as private equity or venture capital, in order to be eligible for the Community License.
We loved what Microsoft did with the Visual Studio Community edition and decided to extend it to our products as well, including our new line of Bold enterprise products. There is no catch, but we would really appreciate it if you could help spread the message through Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
We offer the Community License to boost your startup to success. Once you’re there, you’ll need to upgrade to a more comprehensive paid license. The community License continues until you or your company are ineligible.
Each license is valued at $995 USD per month, so for one year, that is a savings of $11,940 USD for each tenant. If you have more tenants, you save even more.
The Community License has the same features and support as the paid license, but it offers only two deployment options, the Windows installer and Linux package. With a paid license, you have access to Windows, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes deployment options.
The Community License can be used in open-source projects, but we require that you first contact us to register.
Government-related organizations (i.e., funded by tax dollars) are not eligible for Community Licenses. Governmental agencies that are not taxpayer-funded may be eligible to the Community License after signing a master license agreement. Contact us to initiate the request and to review if you are eligible.
There are two scenarios to be considered.
Your organization owns the intellectual property (IP).
You deliver binaries to your customers, who have no claim on the IP itself. In this case, since you own the IP, redistribution to others is allowed under our standard redistribution grant. It is important that your customer has no claim on the IP. It is also important that the customer does not distribute or “white-label” the resulting application. They can only use it for internal purposes. If they distribute it, the second scenario applies.
Your customer owns the IP or distributes the application built on your IP.
In this case, Syncfusion will allow you to give each client a single commercial binary license for free, provided that each entity or organization would itself qualify for the Community License. The only stipulation is that you provide us information on your customer in order for us to confirm their Community License eligibility to register a license in their name. In the event your customer does internal development or moves development to another organization, they will need to buy actual commercial licenses by contacting us. As long as your company is the only one working on the application and you continue to meet the requirements for the Community License, no further licenses need to be acquired. If you no longer meet the requirements, a Syncfusion account representative may reach out to discuss your paid licensing options.
