CoreUI Vue

A free, MIT-licensed Vue 3 admin dashboard component library built on Bootstrap 5

Best for: Vue 3 developers who want a free, MIT-licensed dashboard UI kit built on familiar Bootstrap 5 conventions.
Skip if: You want a Tailwind-based design system instead of Bootstrap, or need a full-stack SaaS boilerplate rather than just dashboard UI.

CoreUI Vue is a Vue 3 admin dashboard template and UI component library with Composition API and full TypeScript support, built on Bootstrap 5. It ships 40+ components including advanced forms, a data grid with sorting/filtering/CSV export, charts, and light/dark mode, with WCAG/ARIA accessibility compliance. The free edition is MIT licensed; CoreUI PRO adds more components, themes, and enterprise support.

Pros

Free tier is genuinely MIT licensed and open source, not a locked demo
Composition API with full TypeScript support fits modern Vue 3 codebases
Data grid with sorting, filtering, virtualization, and CSV export is more capable than typical admin templates

Cons

Primarily a UI/component kit, not a full SaaS boilerplate with auth or billing wired in
Bootstrap 5 styling may feel dated compared to Tailwind-based competitors
Best components and themes are reserved for the paid PRO tier
