# A Tremor alternative for trading screens

> Tremor or ssych for a React dashboard? What each covers, where Tremor is the better pick, and the trading parts Tremor does not ship. Checked 9 Nov 2026.

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.

## 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.
