Modernize NuxtJS Free
A free, lightweight Nuxt 3 + Vuetify admin dashboard starter

- Best for
- Developers who want a minimal, no-frills Nuxt admin dashboard starter without paying, and can upgrade to the paid version if they need more pages.
- Skip if
- You need a large page library (analytics, e-commerce, CRM dashboards) - the free tier intentionally ships only a handful of pages.
Modernize NuxtJS Free is a free admin dashboard template built with Nuxt 3, Vue, TypeScript, and Vuetify 3. It ships a basic dashboard with Chart.js visualizations, authentication pages, form examples, and a handful of UI component pages in a clean, organized folder structure, aimed at developers who want a minimal starting point rather than a bloated template.
Pros
- Free and open source with source available on GitHub
- Built on Nuxt 3 + Vuetify 3 with TypeScript and clean code structure
- Chart.js integration and auth pages included even in the free tier
- Lightweight - avoids the bloat of 100+ unused template pages
Cons
- Free tier is intentionally limited to about 7 pages and basic components
- No payments, multi-tenant, or SaaS-specific features - it's a UI dashboard shell only
- Paid upgrade required for the fuller Modernize template feature set
