where each shines.

where each falls short.
- −Focused on one-dimensional lists, not grids or masonry layouts
- −Horizontal mode is LTR-only in the current release
- −Requires Svelte 5
- −Newer package with a smaller ecosystem than older virtualizer projects
- −Broader list/table surface when only a list is needed
- −Infinite loading remains application wiring
- −Reactive axis-switch anchor behavior is not part of the documented contract
the honest call.
Choose svelte-virtuallists when virtual tables are central to the UI. Choose @humanspeak/svelte-virtual-list when you want one measured list component with responsive axis switching, built-in loading edges, and both index and raw-offset methods.
