What MUI is

MUI provides React UI tools, from foundational component libraries to components for complex use cases. Material UI is its open-source React component library implementing Google’s Material Design. It includes production-ready components and customization options, including ways to build a custom design system on top of them.

MUI X adds Data Grid, Date and Time Pickers, Charts, Tree View, and Scheduler components. MUI X works with Material UI, but its components can also be used standalone or with third-party React component libraries. Community MUI X components are MIT-licensed; more advanced MUI X features require a Pro or Premium commercial license. The free Community plan includes 40+ components, while Pro and Premium provide access to their respective MUI X tiers and technical support. Enterprise is available from 15 seats and includes guaranteed response time and issue escalation.

MUI says accessibility is a high priority for every new feature it ships. The company began in 2014 and operates as a fully remote global team. Its maker is Material UI SAS, trading as MUI. The product is available on the web, with design systems, developer handoff, and variables tokens among its listed capabilities.
