Telerik Reporting review
A broad, developer-focused reporting toolkit with rich designers, viewers, APIs, and exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Telerik Reporting is a paid .NET reporting solution for developers embedding operational reports, invoices, statements, dashboards, and printable business documents in web and desktop applications. It combines standalone desktop, Visual Studio, and embedded web report designers with interactive viewers, processing and rendering APIs, data binding, exports, printing, and email delivery. Business users can create and edit reports through the embedded Web Report Designer, while developers can integrate reporting into applications built with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, Angular, React, WPF, WinForms, and other supported technologies.
Pricing starts at $499 per developer per year with Lite Support, which includes a 72-hour response time, up to 10 support incidents, and product access, updates, and technical support during the active subscription. Priority Support costs $599 per developer per year and adds a 24-hour response time with unlimited support incidents. Ultimate Support costs $999 per developer per year and adds phone support and remote web assistance. There is no free plan, so the product is aimed at teams budgeting for annual developer subscriptions rather than occasional report creation.
Its strongest distinction is breadth: reports can connect to databases, web services, business objects, Entity Framework, ODBC, JSON, and CSV, then include charts, maps, crosstabs, tables, lists, sub-reports, and barcodes. Viewers support parameters, drill-down, drill-through, bookmarks, sorting, and tooltips, while output can target PDF, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, CSV, MHTML, RTF, and images. The AI Report Generator supports charts and gauges. Choose Telerik Reporting when application-embedded reporting and multi-channel distribution matter; teams seeking a free reporting tool or a narrower, lower-commitment option should look elsewhere.
