VibeAdmin vs AdminJS
AdminJS is an open-source admin panel library for Node.js that you embed in your own backend and point at your ORM models.
VibeAdmin is not a builder. It is a ready-made control plane for the people using your app: users, analytics, email and AI access, connected to your existing app.
| AdminJS | VibeAdmin | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Inside your Node.js application | A separate dashboard that talks to your app over an API |
| Stack | Node.js with a supported ORM or database adapter | Any stack that can make an HTTP request, plus a native Supabase connector |
| Maintenance | You host, configure and upgrade it | Hosted; you only send data |
| Analytics and email | Not the focus; build as needed | Built in |
| Full control of the code | Yes, it is a library you can extend | No, it is a service |
Choose AdminJS if
- You want an open-source panel embedded in a Node.js backend you control
- You need CRUD over your own models and want to customize the code
Choose VibeAdmin if
- Your backend is not Node.js, or is Supabase or Firebase based
- You do not want to host or maintain an admin panel
