A Tremor alternative for trading screens
Tremor is a set of React chart and dashboard components built on Tailwind CSS, Radix UI and Recharts. Vercel bought it in January 2025 and made its paid blocks free. ssych is a smaller library of dark, dense components for trading, crypto and AI screens. Here is how the two line up.
Checked on each project's own site and GitHub on 9 November 2026. Sources at the foot of the page.
Short answer
Pick Tremor for a general analytics or SaaS dashboard: it has far more blocks and templates, all free. Pick ssych when the screen is about trading and needs an order book, a depth chart, candles with volume or an order ticket. Both land in your project as source, so you can use them side by side.

Where Tremor is the better pick
- A much bigger free set: 300+ blocks, plus full templates for dashboards and SaaS sites.
- Around since 2022 with a large community, so answers to common questions are easy to find.
- Recharts underneath, so any chart Recharts can draw is within reach, with its docs behind it.
- An npm package, for teams who like to import components and update them with npm.
Where ssych fits better
- Trading parts Tremor does not list: order book, depth chart, candles with volume, a time and sales tape, order and leverage tickets.
- Charts with no chart runtime. The SVG is in the file you install, so you change the shapes directly.
- Installs through the shadcn CLI under @ssych, next to the shadcn parts you already have.
The ssych parts, live

Questions
- Is Tremor still maintained?
- Its repos are public and usable. On 9 November 2026 the copy and paste repo showed its last commit on 10 October 2025, and the npm package its last release on 13 January 2025. Its founders joined Vercel to work on UI for the Vercel dashboard and v0.
- Can I use Tremor and ssych in one project?
- Yes. Both are React and Tailwind and both land as source in your repo. One way to split it: Tremor for KPI cards and business charts, ssych for the trading panels.
- Does Tremor have a candlestick chart?
- Not in its component list on GitHub as of 9 November 2026. Its charts are area, bar, line, combo, donut, bar list, spark and tracker. ssych has one with a volume pane: npx shadcn@latest add @ssych/candlestick.
