Template Details
DashUI Free Next.js Admin Template is a free admin dashboard template published by Codescandy. Its stack is Next.js and React, styled with Tailwind CSS, and the repository is open source under the MIT license. Positioned as an admin and starter template, it provides prebuilt dashboard pages and a developer-friendly directory structure for building admin panels or data interfaces.
The free version has functional trade-offs: the README comparison table shows that the free version includes only 1 dashboard, 11 pages, basic documentation, and 4 plugins. It does not include dark mode, layout variations, or priority support, which belong to the paid DashUI PRO version. The repository also provides a link to Figma design files and entries to similar templates for other stacks such as Bootstrap, React, Nuxt, and Tailwind.
Before use, note the licensing boundaries: the MIT license covers the code of this free version and allows use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but the copyright notice and license notice must be retained when distributing. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate verification of their respective licenses. External services such as domains, hosting, and databases may incur additional costs.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Next.js as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
