Framework: Vue | Pricing: freemium | GitHub stars: 642

## Verdict

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.

## Description

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 and cons

+ 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

- 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
