Framework: Vue | Pricing: Free | GitHub stars: 33316

## Verdict

Best for: Vue 3 teams who want a fast, monorepo-based admin panel with Shadcn UI and configurable RBAC out of the box.

Skip if: You're not building in Vue, or you prefer Element Plus/Ant Design Vue's component styling over Shadcn UI.

## Description

Vue Vben Admin is a free, open-source admin dashboard template built on Vue 3, Pinia, Vue Router, and TypeScript, with Shadcn UI and Tailwind CSS as its core UI layer inside a pnpm + Turbo monorepo. It includes built-in i18n, configurable access control/permission management, and easy theme switching.

## Pros and cons

+ Actively maintained with a large, long-running GitHub community

+ Modern stack: Vue 3, Vite, Shadcn UI, Tailwind, TypeScript, monorepo architecture

+ Configurable access control and permission management built in

+ Built-in i18n and theme switching

- Monorepo setup adds complexity versus a single-package admin template

- No payments, multi-tenant SaaS, or backend logic included - it's a frontend dashboard shell

- Shadcn UI-based design may require more customization to match non-Shadcn brand systems
