Honest question. As someone whose only worked with open source tech in React such as Bootstrap, Semantic UI, Material UI, etc, what is the advantage of a paid UI framework like this?

Maybe stability? Besides Semantic UI I found that other frameworks are nowhere near as mature. I guess if you're a big company its a small price to pay but it also seems like you're paying a grand + per month for something with tons of free alternatives.

You're paying for the support you need when your developer can't fit requirement X into the component, or when they run into a bug, or whatever other reason.

700 usd a year for the library for a developer. It saves us a ton of time as its a B2B business and we use a lot of stuff like a calendar view, gantt diagrams and scheduling. Rewriting it from scratch of adapting a random set of components would be more expensive in time and resources.
