Comparing React admin panel templates

Written by Gaurav Singhal✏️

Website and service management plays a crucial role in defining the success of a service. That’s why admin dashboards are an essential part of any analytical structure that aims to organize and visualize business data.

In this guide, we’ll compare various admin panel templates for React. All these templates provide premium features and a lot of variations you can combine depending on your specific app requirements.

Let’s get started!

Veltrix

Veltix is a fully responsive admin panel template built on top of Bootstrap 4.4. It’s a highly polished starter kit that uses Redux for state management. It also has support for backend languages such as NodeJS and Laravel.

Since Veltrix uses Bootstrap to beautify its components, the application itself is responsive by default. It has many prebuilt templates and pages to choose from, and they are very professional in terms of both design and code.

The components included in Veltrix are designed and coded to a high standard, and you can easily customize them to the needs of your application. Like other popular admin templates, Veltrix comes in with multiple built-in functionalities, such as charts, calendars, etc.

In terms of pricing, Veltrix provides excellent value for money at just $25 for a regular license.

The best thing about Veltrix is that it supports jQuery, which means you can drop in any jQuery or Bootstrap component to make it compatible with React without making any changes.

Enlite

Enlite was built using the Material-UI library. It has interesting social elements that enhance the user experience and promote interactivity with the application.

Enlite contains around 30 components and various pages such as landing, dashboard variants, and profile. It comes with built-in firebase authentication and email verification, along with social login, realtime DB, and Redux Saga. All of these collectively help you to jump-start your development process to another level. Enlite has RTL support with auto RTL adjustment styling using the jss-rtl library, boosting its appeal to developers globally.

Features such as contact sharing and location services make the social page highly intuitive. The ability to create tables and display data in an easy-to-read manner is another huge plus.

The documentation for using components, creating pages, deployment, etc. are well written, easy to read, and beginner-friendly. At just $18, Enlite provides great features at an excellent price.

Argon Pro

Argon Pro is one of the most popular premium templates out there. It uses Bootstrap 4 and reactstrap. You can build CRUD apps quickly because most of the components are already implemented for you. The design and color scheme are pretty good, and it offers myriad sample pages for you to use as a starting point.

Developers familiar with Create React App will find Argon very easy to use because it is built on top of the framework and follows the same folder structure. Argon Pro contains more than 100 individual components, offering many combinations with which to build more significant and reusable components for your application. The color variations are customizable since the components are styled using Sass.

Argon’s developer license costs a whooping $359, but trust me — considering the design and the coding standards, it’s worth the money. You’ll be able to recoup your investment in the long term.

Material Dashboard Pro

Material Dashboard Pro is a feature-rich set of admin template components. Inspired by Google’s Material Design, it applies the material concept to easy-to-use React components.

Material Dashboard is built on top of the popular Material-UI library. Since the admin template follows the material design style, users will appreciate the overall look and feel of the dashboard.

The template comprises 200 essential components and fifteen plugins for building charts, calendars, etc. The layout is immaculate and has multiple layers with an obvious depth of order. You can directly use the login, registration, and user profile page from the eight sample pages provided by the template. These pages look authentic, and by tweaking a few Sass variables, you can customize the colors, layout settings, background images, and more to fit your application requirements.

Like the Argon Pro template, Material Dashboard Pro is quite expensive; a developer license costs $239. But if you’re working on a large, complex project requiring great design, this should be your go-to template.

Clean UI

Clean UI’s components are built with Bootstrap and the Ant Design UI kit. The template comes with eight packaged admin dashboards, including e-commerce, mail templates, profile, and messaging.

Clean UI is perfect for any E-commerce or Finance dashboard project, as it has advanced looking graphs and chart components, among many others.

Clean UI has out-of-the-box support for Firebase authentication with Redux Saga and multilanguage. If you’re looking for something that scales quite easily, Clean UI is a solid choice with features such as code splitting, dynamic imports, automated routing, and other performance optimizations.

Clean UI’s developer license costs $499, which is quite reasonable for the many features and robust out-of-the-box support that comes with the package.

Gogo

The Gogo admin template is fairly simple to use, does the job well, and contains essential components that are visually pleasing. It offers an excellent combination of good design, quality code, and attention todetail. Components are built on top of the Reactstrap library, and the template uses Redux for state management.

Gogo has four prebuilt dashboards you can use as a starting point for your development process. The panel includes charts, sliders, and many better-designed UI components. Each component has a different variation in terms of color and sizing options. The charts and graphs look soft and crisp, which simplifies data visualization.

Login and registration is a breeze since Gogo comes with Firebase preconfigured. Other features include code splitting, a video player, keyboard shortcuts, and multilanguage support, which further enhance the user experience.

Gogo is perfect if you intend to use it as a prebuilt solution or you’re looking for a template to start development. If you’re looking for something in between, Gogo comes with eight different theme color variations and customizable components.

Gogo costs $500 for unlimited projects, which is a bit expensive compared to other templates that provide the same set of features. That said, the template looks promising with its simple and clean design.

Reactify

Reactify is a developer-friendly admin template that is powered by Redux and redux-thunk and designed using Bootstrap 4. With the focus on developers, Reactify is looking to simplify the development process of creating customized dashboards. The UI components are designed for quick deployment and have a consistent design across pages, which means if you don’t want to customize the template, you can simply tweak the branding and deploy it as your own.

Reactify comes with many prebuilt components and widgets for charts, to-do lists, weather, social, email, etc. It has support for firebase authentication and is preconfigured with the Laravel PHP backend.

Reactify focuses more on dashboards for Sass products, e-commerce, news, CRM, and agency. It has 20-plus custom pages with 300-plus UI components — insanely high numbers compared to other dashboard templates.

Reactify has a fast page load time, ensuring a seamless user experience from any device. The template also offers interactive map components, responsive tables, text editors that are ready to use, drop-in components, and more.

With so many features, templates, and widgets, Reactify comes with a high-end price tag of $699 for unlimited projects. Nonetheless, Reactify provides excellent value for developers looking to build frameworks and custom templates on top of Reactify.

Conclusion

The templates discussed in this guide represent a collection of the best admin UI templates for React. Because each one focuses on a specific dashboard experience, a given template may or may not be suitable for your development project.

LogRocket is like a DVR for web apps, recording literally everything that happens on your React app. Instead of guessing why problems happen, you can aggregate and report on what state your application was in when an issue occurred. LogRocket also monitors your app's performance, reporting with metrics like client CPU load, client memory usage, and more.

The LogRocket Redux middleware package adds an extra layer of visibility into your user sessions. LogRocket logs all actions and state from your Redux stores.
