Avo

A Ruby on Rails admin panel framework you install into an existing app

Avo
Best for
Rails developers who want to add an admin panel to an existing app without building CRUD screens by hand.
Skip if
You're not building on Ruby on Rails, or you need advanced features (audit logs, multi-tenancy) that require the paid tiers.

Avo is a Rails admin panel framework that drops into any new or existing Rails app to generate CRUD interfaces for your models. It offers 30+ field types, table/grid/map/kanban views, Pundit-based authorization, audit logging, multi-tenancy support, Active Storage file uploads, global search, and REST API generation, with a free tier and paid Pro/Advanced tiers for more advanced features.

Pros

  • Drops into an existing Rails app rather than requiring a fresh project
  • Wide range of view types (table, grid, map, kanban) beyond typical CRUD tables
  • Multi-tenancy and audit logging available for larger internal tools
  • Backed by an established company (AvoHQ Inc., founded 2020) with ongoing development

Cons

  • Free tier is limited - advanced features require a paid Pro/Advanced plan
  • Rails-specific, no equivalent for other backend frameworks
  • Could not verify current GitHub star count or specific license terms
