Actipro WPF Essentials is a bundled suite of our most popular user interface controls and components for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
To make the bundle extremely cost effective,
licenses for WPF Essentials are priced to provide a 45% savings over the cost of purchasing the bundled controls individually!
The company behind WPF Essentials, Actipro Software, has been making top-notch Windows Forms controls since .NET was first introduced,
and was the very first control vendor to release a commercial WPF control.

Other Controls
The WPF Essentials bundle does not include all the WPF controls we make, just our most popular ones.
If you own the WPF Essentials bundle, you can freely purchase other individual controls (such as Gauge, SyntaxEditor, etc.).
However you may find that if you do wish to purchase additional individual controls, it's more cost effective to upgrade
to our WPF Studio suite instead.
For existing customers, we do offer pro-rated discounts when moving up to WPF Studio from WPF Essentials or individual products.

Comparison to the WPF Studio Bundle
The WPF Studio bundle
is our flagship suite, and is an alternate option to purchasing WPF Essentials. It includes all our WPF controls and provides
more than a 60% savings over purchasing them separately.
When choosing between WPF Studio and WPF Essentials, it is important to consider these facts:
- WPF Essentials is less expensive than WPF Studio, and is therefore more accessible to developers on a budget.
- The WPF Essentials bundle includes the DataGrid, Docking & MDI, Editors, Navigation, Ribbon, Wizard, and Shared Library products only, which are our most popular controls.
- WPF Studio includes every WPF control product we make, including those in WPF Essentials.
- WPF Studio customers get all new WPF control products for free while their subscription is active, whereas WPF Essentials customers will not get any new WPF control products.
