Best Admin Dashboard Templates by Industry in 2026

This is a buyer's list of admin dashboard templates for eight industries: e-commerce, LMS and education, real estate, restaurants, hotel and vacation rental booking, gyms and fitness coaching, finance, and SaaS or CRM. For each industry you get the Aniq UI dashboard built for it, then one or two credible alternatives, with the screens each includes, its stack, its price and an honest limit. It is updated for October 2026, and every Aniq UI pick runs on Next.js 16.

An industry dashboard saves the most work when its screens match your staff's day: orders and stock for a shop, bookings and blocked dates for a rental, a kitchen queue for a restaurant. Aniq UI makes the first pick in each section, and we say where another option fits better. If you want a general-purpose dashboard instead, read our top 10 Next.js admin dashboard templates.

E-commerce admin dashboard templates

A store's admin lives in four tables: products, orders, customers and staff. Look for stock on the product list, order status next to payment status, a product editor with media, and roles so the person packing orders cannot change prices.

Aniq UI E-Commerce Admin Dashboard

Best for: fashion and retail stores, bilingual shops, and agencies that want the admin, the storefront and the API from one source.

The Next.js e-commerce admin dashboard template runs a store from one place: products, categories, orders, customers and staff, with roles and real-time notifications over WebSockets. The orders list shows status counts, payment chips and a fulfilment progress ring on every row. An AI product studio inside the product editor removes backgrounds, makes studio and model shots from a prompt and drafts a listing from one photo, and the admin assistant answers from the store's own database, for example with a 28-day sales report and revenue chart.

• Products with stock, sale prices and filters
• Orders with payment state and fulfilment progress
• Customers, staff, and roles and permissions
• Homepage sections and store settings
• English and Arabic with RTL, light and dark themes

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, Recharts. API: NestJS, TypeORM (MySQL or SQLite), Socket.io.

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package (storefront, dashboard and NestJS API) is $179.

Good to know: the dashboard runs on its own NestJS API, which comes with the full-stack Next.js e-commerce template or alone as the Backend API package. The AI studio and assistant run on your own API keys; the assistant supports Anthropic, Google and OpenAI models.

TailAdmin (free e-commerce dashboard)

Best for: developers who want a free, MIT-licensed Next.js shell whose one dashboard is already an e-commerce overview.

TailAdmin's free Next.js version is an open-source admin template. Its single dashboard, labelled Ecommerce in the live demo, shows customer and order counters, monthly sales, a monthly target gauge, customer demographics and a recent orders table. The paid Pro version adds dashboards such as CRM, SaaS, stocks and logistics.

• Free under the MIT License
• Calendar, profile, tables, charts, forms and sign-in pages
• Dark mode
• 2.6k GitHub stars (October 2026)

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4.

Price: Free. TailAdmin Pro for Next.js from $59 (October 2026).

Good to know: the free demo has no product, order or customer screens, and the README lists a frontend stack only. It gives you the look of a store admin, not its workflows.

Medusa Admin (open-source commerce platform)

Best for: teams that want proven open-source commerce logic and can live with the admin as it ships.

Medusa is an open-source commerce platform, and the Medusa Admin installs with every Medusa application. Its user guide covers orders, products, inventory, customers, promotions, price lists and settings such as regions and sales channels. Developers extend it with widgets on existing pages and new pages through UI routes.

• MIT open core; Enterprise Edition features need a commercial agreement
• Orders, products, inventory, customers, promotions and price lists
• Admin in several languages, English by default
• 36.8k GitHub stars (October 2026)

Stack: Node.js and TypeScript; the admin is a React app built with Vite 7, not Next.js.

Price: Free and paid tiers: open-source core, with Medusa Cloud hosting from $29 per month (October 2026).

Good to know: Medusa's docs say you cannot change the layout, design or content of the existing admin pages beyond injecting widgets. Pick it for the commerce engine, not for a custom-looking admin.

LMS and education admin dashboard templates

An LMS admin serves two people: the administrator who watches enrollments and revenue, and the instructor who builds courses and marks work. Look for a curriculum builder, enrollments, quizzes and grading, and separate admin and instructor roles.

Aniq UI LMS Admin Dashboard

Best for: course creators, training academies and bootcamps running live cohorts, especially bilingual ones.

The Next.js LMS admin dashboard template covers courses with a drag and drop curriculum builder, students, instructors, enrollments, orders, reviews and blog content. Instructors get a workspace with a schedule, a quiz editor with passing scores and attempt limits, assignment marking with feedback and an inbox, and they host live classes with host controls. The AI assistant looks up courses and enrollments and can create a course draft, Arabic title included, from one request.

• Curriculum builder with draft and published states
• Quizzes graded on the server
• Orders with payment status linked to enrollment
• Instructors see only their assigned courses
• English and Arabic with RTL

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, dnd-kit, React Hook Form, Zod. API: NestJS with TypeORM.

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package (student website, dashboard and NestJS API) is $179.

Good to know: the dashboard runs on its own NestJS API, sold with the full-stack Next.js LMS template. Live classes need a separately configured meeting server (hosting not included), and the assistant runs on your own Gemini, OpenAI or DeepSeek key.

Frontkit LMS Kit

Best for: teams that already have a backend, or plan one on Supabase, and want student, instructor and admin screens in one codebase.

The Frontkit LMS Kit is a Next.js UI kit with 39 screens: 18 for students, 7 for instructors and 8 for admins. The admin portal covers user management, course approvals, categories, support tickets, reports, platform settings and an audit log; instructors get course management, a curriculum editor, analytics and Q&A management.

• Student, instructor and admin portals in one app
• Course approvals and an audit log
• shadcn/ui components and Recharts analytics
• A separate Full-Stack LMS Kit on Supabase

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui.

Price: From $79 (October 2026) for one developer on internal projects; client delivery needs the Agency license. The Full-Stack LMS Kit starts from $199 (October 2026).

Good to know: the UI kit is "UI only" with mock seed data. The full-stack version leaves out payment processing.

Acadx

Best for: schools and academies that want many admin pages (fees, admissions, attendance) for a low price and will build the backend.

Acadx is a Next.js education admin template sold on WrapMarket by codeflicks. The listing describes 105+ pages and seven dashboards, with courses, finance (fees, invoices, payouts), live classes, admissions, instructor applications and schedules, and student enrollments, attendance and certificates.

• 105+ pages and seven dashboards
• Fees, invoices and instructor payouts
• Admissions and attendance
• Dark mode and static export

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19.2, Tailwind CSS 4.3.

Price: From $24 (October 2026) for the Standard License; unlimited projects and commercial use are paid add-ons.

Good to know: it is new (version 1.0.0, May 29, 2026) and front-end only, and the listing links no live demo, so ask the seller before you buy.

Real estate dashboard templates

An agency's admin is a pipeline from listing to viewing: properties with photos and a location, inquiries with notes, and viewing requests to confirm. A map and per-language listing text matter more here than in most industries.

Aniq UI Real Estate Agency Dashboard

Best for: agencies, brokers and rental managers who want a public website and an agency dashboard on one API, in English and Arabic.

The Next.js real estate agency dashboard template opens on new inquiries, viewings awaiting confirmation and upcoming visits, with every listing pinned on one map. The property editor holds English and Arabic text under language tabs, ordered photos, a draggable map pin, SEO and a draft, published and archived flow. Each inquiry opens with its message, property and viewing, and viewing requests stay pending until the agency confirms them. An AI staging studio furnishes empty-room photos, and nothing goes live until the agency approves it.

• Overview from live agency data, with a listings map
• Bilingual property editor
• Inquiries with status, notes and search
• Viewings to confirm, complete or cancel
• Admins, roles, neighborhoods and settings

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, next-intl. API: NestJS, TypeORM (MySQL or SQLite), Socket.io.

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package (public website, dashboard and NestJS API) is $179.

Good to know: the dashboard requires its NestJS API, sold with the full-stack Next.js real estate template. Staging needs your own Gemini key, and the assistant runs on Gemini, OpenAI or DeepSeek with your key.

Lahomes

Best for: teams comfortable with Bootstrap who want agents, customers and transactions pages.

Lahomes is a real estate management admin template by Techzaa on ThemeForest. The listing names a dashboard, property list, details, edit and create pages, agents, customers, orders, transactions, reviews, messages, and chat and email apps, with 85+ pages in total.

• Property pages plus agents and customers
• Orders and transactions
• RTL and LTR, light and dark
• TypeScript

Stack: Next.js 16, Bootstrap 5.3.8, TypeScript.

Price: From $21 (October 2026) for a Regular License; $499 for an Extended License.

Good to know: no backend is mentioned, so listings, sign-in and inquiries need your own API. Last updated 13 December 2025.

Hously

Best for: a real estate brand that wants a public listing site and an admin in one Tailwind codebase.

Hously by ShreeThemes pairs a real estate landing template (30+ pages) with an admin template (25+ pages), in JavaScript and TypeScript versions. Version 3.0.0 (7 May 2026) moved it to Next.js 16.2.5 and Tailwind CSS 4.2.4.

• Calendar, email and invoice pages
• RTL and LTR, light and dark

Stack: Next.js 16.2.5, React 19.2.5, Tailwind CSS 4.2.4, TypeScript.

Price: From $21 (October 2026); Extended License $499.

Good to know: the listing does not name the admin's property or lead screens, so check them in the live preview. No backend is mentioned.

Restaurant admin dashboard templates

A restaurant admin follows the order: what came in, what the kitchen is preparing, what is sold out. Look for status control on orders, a menu editor with extras and allergens, availability per dish, and roles that reach down to the kitchen.

Aniq UI Restaurant Admin Dashboard

Best for: restaurants that take orders online for delivery or pickup, including brands with several kitchens.

The Next.js restaurant admin dashboard template compares today's revenue, orders and orders in preparation with the day before, beside the kitchen queue. Orders open with their items, totals and a timeline, and only valid next steps are offered; the server refuses any other. Dishes are edited in English and Arabic with allergens and priced extras, each has an availability switch, and optional stock refuses an order it cannot fill. A kitchen account sees only its own kitchen's orders, without prices.

• Orders with timeline and server-checked status steps
• Menu, categories and customers with reward points
• Homepage sections editor
• Kitchens on a map with hours, postcodes and fees
• AI studio for dish photos and an AI assistant

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, next-intl, MapLibre. API: NestJS, TypeORM, Socket.io, Stripe.

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package (ordering website, dashboard and NestJS API) is $179.

Good to know: the dashboard requires its NestJS API, sold with the full-stack Next.js restaurant template, which handles Stripe and PayPal with signed webhooks. Background removal runs locally with no key; the Gemini features need yours. It is built for online ordering, so for table service compare RestroPOS below.

RestroPOS

Best for: dine-in restaurants that need POS billing, a floor plan and a kitchen display.

RestroPOS from shadcn/studio is a Next.js restaurant admin template with sales analytics, POS billing, an interactive floor plan with table occupancy, a kitchen display, orders, reservations, a menu with add-ons and coupons, inventory, invoices, payments, and staff roles and permissions.

• POS billing and cart
• Floor plan and kitchen display
• Reservations and inventory
• Staff roles and permissions

Stack: Next.js 16 App Router, TypeScript, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS v4, TanStack Query, Zustand.

Price: From $79 (October 2026).

Good to know: the page calls the data layer "API ready" and mentions no backend, so the server is yours. Languages and RTL are not mentioned; check the current package.

Hotel and vacation rental booking dashboard templates

A booking admin is a calendar first. Look for bookings drawn as nights, blocked dates, a booking lifecycle (confirm, check in, complete, cancel) and the payment state on every booking. Hotels also need guest records and a room or unit list.

Aniq UI Vacation Rental Booking Dashboard

Best for: vacation rental companies, guesthouses and boutique hotels that take direct bookings.

The Next.js vacation rental booking dashboard template opens on occupancy, revenue, arrivals, departures and pending bookings. The calendar shows a month of nights with one row per stay, and blocking dates refuses any range that overlaps a booking. Each booking shows the guest, price, payment and timeline with only the actions its state allows, so an unpaid card booking cannot be confirmed by mistake. Stays are edited in English and Arabic with rates, cleaning fee and minimum nights.

• Bookings with payment method and status on each row
• Inquiries with notes, and reviews to publish or hide
• Payments tab with test or live mode and pay on arrival
• Admins with 32 permissions
• AI assistant with 27 MCP tools that answers with charts

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, next-intl. API: NestJS, TypeORM, Stripe, Socket.io.

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package (stays website, dashboard and NestJS API) is $179.

Good to know: the dashboard requires its NestJS API, sold with the full-stack Next.js vacation rental template, which holds dates for 30 minutes while a guest pays and confirms or refunds through signed Stripe and PayPal webhooks. With one row per stay, it fits rentals and small hotels that list each unit on its own; if you sell many identical rooms by type, check the demo first.

Minimal

Best for: teams on Material UI that want booking and tour screens inside a general kit.

Minimal is an MUI admin kit with Next.js and Vite versions. Its overview pages include E-commerce, Analytics, Banking, Booking, File and Course, and its management pages cover users, products, orders, invoices, jobs and tours, with list, detail, create and edit views, plus calendar, kanban, mail and chat apps.

• Booking, Banking and Course overviews
• Tour management screens
• Right-to-left layout support
• Auth for JWT, Firebase, Amplify, Auth0 and Supabase

Stack: Next.js 16 or Vite 8, React 19, Material UI v9. TypeScript comes with the Plus and Extended licenses.

Price: From $69 (October 2026); charging end users needs the $599 Extended License.

Good to know: booking is one overview page plus the tour screens. Availability rules, payments and the API are yours to build.

Innap

Best for: hotel teams fine with React and Bootstrap instead of Next.js who want room, guest and concierge screens.

Innap from DexignZone is a hotel admin template; the current ThemeForest edition is React built with Vite. DexignZone's public React demo shows a dashboard, a room list, a guest list with guest details, a concierge page and reviews, next to calendar and invoice pages.

• Room list, guest list and guest detail
• Concierge and reviews
• Light and dark modes

Stack: React with Vite 6, React Bootstrap, Redux. Not Next.js.

Price: From $19 (October 2026); Extended License $599.

Good to know: moving it into Next.js means porting its routes and data loading. No backend is mentioned, and the Vite edition was last updated on 13 January 2025.

Gym and fitness dashboard templates

Fitness admins split two ways. A coaching business needs a client roster, assigned workouts and weekly check-ins. A gym front desk needs members, trainers, classes and billing. Decide which one you run before you compare.

Aniq UI Fitness and Coaching Dashboard

Best for: online coaches, personal trainers and gyms that sell coaching, who want a member app and a coach dashboard in one product.

The Next.js fitness and coaching dashboard has two sides. Coaches get their own roster, quiet clients first, with compliance, assigned workouts, weekly check-ins and live messages. Members get a workout logger with weight, reps, RPE and a rest timer, an exercise library, programs, a meal planner, and sleep, health and progress sections. Gym staff manage members, coaches, roles and the content catalog, and the API enforces the same permissions as the sidebar.

• Coach roster, assigned work and check-ins
• Live workout logger and exercise library
• Meal planner with macros and a grocery list
• AI assistant scoped to each role, on Gemini, OpenAI or DeepSeek
• English and Arabic with RTL on both sides

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, Socket.io. API: NestJS with TypeORM (SQLite or MySQL).

Price: From $99 for the member and coach dashboard; the full-stack package with the NestJS API is $149.

Good to know: the dashboard runs on an in-browser mock until you connect its API, which comes with the full-stack package. No watch or tracker integration is built in, and it centers on coaching, so check the demo if you need class bookings or membership billing.

Gymove

Best for: React teams that want a fitness-themed admin with workout and diet screens and do not need Next.js.

Gymove from DexignZone is a fitness admin template; the current ThemeForest edition is React built with Vite. DexignZone's public React demo shows a dashboard, a workout plan, workout statistics, a distance map, a food menu and personal records.

• Workout plan and statistics
• Distance map and food menu
• Personal records
• Light and dark layouts

Stack: React with Vite, Redux, React Bootstrap. Not Next.js.

Price: From $19 (October 2026).

Good to know: the demo's fitness screens track one person's training, with no member, trainer or billing screens. The Vite edition was last updated on 26 August 2024.

Finance and fintech dashboard templates

A finance dashboard is judged on its transaction table and its charts: filters, exports, accounts or cards, budgets and reports by period. Decide early whether you are building a customer-facing app or an internal back office. Minimal, in the booking section, also ships a Banking overview.

Aniq UI Financial Dashboard

Best for: fintech and banking apps, personal finance tools and finance reporting in English and Arabic.

The Next.js financial dashboard template pairs an account card (send, receive, copy, block) with recent transactions, weekly statistics, an investment watchlist, fast transfer, a transfers map and portfolio performance. Analytics compares revenue with expenses across four ranges, with every panel exportable, and a cards page tracks balances, expiry dates and lock states.

• Drag and drop widgets
• Blue, gold and graphite accents, light and dark themes
• A 28-component UI library
• JWT email auth and protected routes

Frontkit Finance Dashboard Kit

Best for: personal or business finance apps that want budgets, bills and goals on shadcn/ui.

The Frontkit Finance Dashboard Kit is a Next.js UI kit with 27 screens across a dashboard, transactions, accounts, budgets, bills, savings goals, reports and settings.

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui, Recharts 3, Zustand.

Price: From $79 (October 2026) for one developer on internal projects; client delivery needs the Agency license.

Good to know: it is "a frontend UI kit" with no backend, database or API logic. Languages and RTL are not mentioned.

SaaS, CRM and general admin dashboard templates

SaaS and CRM admins share a core: users, teams, roles and filterable record lists. A SaaS adds plans and billing; a CRM adds contacts, companies and a deals pipeline. Few templates ship all of it, so check which half you get.

Aniq UI Admin Dashboard Template 2

Best for: SaaS platforms, internal tools and AI-enabled admin panels that need users, roles and an API from day one.

The Next.js admin dashboard template with AI assistant has an overview with KPI cards, quick tasks, a calendar and rearrangeable widgets, then users, admins, roles and permissions, and projects with tasks. Its MCP-compatible assistant answers with charts and tables from your own numbers, with a model picker for DeepSeek, Google and OpenAI. The full-stack version adds a NestJS API with JWT and refresh tokens, a permission matrix, live permission updates over WebSocket and S3-compatible uploads.

• Users, admins and per-module permissions
• Projects with their tasks
• A 49-component UI library with code examples

Price: From $99 for the dashboard; the full-stack package is $149.

Good to know: the dashboard alone runs on bundled mock data. CRM records such as contacts, companies and deals are yours to add.

Next.js shadcn Dashboard Starter

Best for: B2B SaaS founders who want organizations, billing and role-aware navigation for free and are happy to use Clerk.

The Next.js shadcn Dashboard Starter by Kiranism is a free, open-source admin starter with products and users tables (URL-synced filters and pagination), a kanban board, workspaces and teams through Clerk Organizations, a plans page through Clerk Billing, and navigation filtered by roles and permissions.

Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui, Clerk.

Price: Free (MIT).

Good to know: sign-in, organizations and billing go through Clerk, a hosted service, so check its plans first. The README lists no contacts or deals pipeline.

shadcn-admin

Best for: React teams that want a free admin UI with RTL support and do not need Next.js.

shadcn-admin by satnaing is an admin dashboard UI built with shadcn/ui, Vite and TanStack Router, with 10+ pages. Dialogs, the sidebar, the calendar and the command menu were adapted for right-to-left layouts.

• 10+ admin pages
• RTL support
• MIT License, 15.8k GitHub stars (October 2026)

Stack: Vite, TanStack Router, TypeScript, shadcn/ui. Not Next.js.

Price: Free.

Good to know: the author calls it "not a starter project (template)", so plan your own API, auth and data model.

How to choose an industry admin dashboard

Match the screens your staff open every day

List the daily screens, then open each demo and click through to a detail or edit screen. The overview is the easy part; the order detail, the booking timeline and the property editor are where the work is.

• E-commerce: products with stock, orders with payment state, customers, staff roles.
• LMS: curriculum builder, enrollments, quizzes and grading.
• Real estate: property editor with a map pin, inquiries, viewings.
• Restaurant: live orders, menu availability, allergens, kitchen roles.
• Booking: calendar with blocked dates, booking lifecycle, payments.
• Fitness: a coach roster and check-ins, or members and classes for a gym.
• Finance: transactions with filters and exports, budgets, reports.
• SaaS and CRM: organizations, roles and billing, or contacts and deals.

Decide who builds the backend

Most alternatives here are UI only. That is fine if you have an API. If you do not, count what is missing: auth, roles enforced on the server, payment webhooks, uploads and notifications. The Aniq UI industry dashboards each have a NestJS API in their full-stack package, the Frontkit Full-Stack LMS Kit runs on Supabase, and Medusa is a whole commerce backend.

Check roles before the first staff account

Industry admins need more than "admin" and "user": kitchen accounts limited to one kitchen, instructors limited to their own courses, coaches who see only their clients. Ask whether a role is enforced by the API or only hides menu items.

Plan languages and right-to-left from the start

All eight Aniq UI picks ship English and Arabic with RTL; Minimal, Lahomes, Hously and shadcn-admin list RTL support. For industry content, translated labels are not enough: listing titles, dish names and stay descriptions need a field per language.

Pick a stack your team can maintain

Next.js 16 with Tailwind CSS is the common base here. Minimal uses Material UI, Lahomes uses Bootstrap, and Innap, Gymove, shadcn-admin and the Medusa Admin are React apps built with Vite. Moving a Vite app into Next.js means porting routing and data loading, so add that time to the price.

Read the license before client or paid use

ThemeForest's Regular License covers one end product that end users are not charged for; a paid SaaS needs the Extended License, as does Minimal's. Frontkit's Solo and Team licenses are for internal projects. Aniq UI's paid templates allow unlimited commercial projects, client work included. The free picks here are MIT.

Common mistakes

Rebuilding every industry screen on a general dashboard

A general admin gives you a sidebar, cards and tables. The booking calendar, the kitchen queue and the curriculum builder are still weeks of work, and they are exactly what an industry template already has.

Treating a UI kit as a finished app

Mock data makes a demo look complete. Find out where the data comes from and what you must build to replace it: an API, a database, auth and payments.

Judging by the overview page

Every demo leads with its best chart. Open an order, a booking or a property and try to edit it. If the detail screen is missing, so is most of the product.

Adding a right-to-left language late

Retrofitting RTL means touching every margin, icon and chart, then adding per-language fields to your data. It costs far less in a template that ships it.

Leaving payments to the end

Bookings and restaurant orders depend on payment state: holds on unpaid dates, webhooks that confirm or refund, totals computed on the server. Know who builds that side before you commit.

FAQ

What is the best e-commerce admin dashboard template?

For a store that needs the admin, the storefront and an API, the Aniq UI E-Commerce Admin Dashboard is the most complete pick here. For a free shell, use TailAdmin; for an open-source commerce engine with its own admin, use Medusa.

What is the best free industry admin dashboard template?

TailAdmin's free version is the closest, since its one dashboard is an e-commerce overview. For SaaS, the Next.js shadcn Dashboard Starter is free with organizations and billing through Clerk. Free templates with real industry detail screens are rare.

What is the best premium industry dashboard template?

For industry screens plus a backend in one purchase, the Aniq UI dashboards, each paired with a NestJS API in its full-stack package. For one large UI kit across several domains, Minimal covers e-commerce, banking, booking and course overviews on Material UI.

Is there a free LMS admin template?

Not a widely used, maintained one that we could confirm for Next.js. EaseLMS is a free open-source LMS on Next.js 16 and Supabase, but it is small (6 GitHub stars, October 2026) and AGPL-3.0, which requires publishing your changes if you host a modified version as a service. Paid LMS admins start from $24 (Acadx, October 2026).

Do industry dashboards come with a backend?

Most do not. The alternatives here are UI kits, except Medusa and Frontkit's separate Full-Stack LMS Kit. Each Aniq UI industry dashboard runs on its own NestJS API, sold in its full-stack package.

What is the best real estate dashboard template?

For listings, inquiries and viewings on a real API in English and Arabic, the Aniq UI Real Estate Agency Dashboard. For a cheaper front-end only option, Lahomes has the widest admin page list, and Hously adds a public listing site.

What is the best hotel booking dashboard template?

For direct bookings with a calendar, payments and a booking lifecycle, the Aniq UI Vacation Rental Booking Dashboard. For room, guest and concierge screens in React with Vite, Innap. For a booking overview in a large MUI kit, Minimal.

Is there a gym or fitness dashboard template built with Next.js?

Yes, but few. The Aniq UI Fitness and Coaching Dashboard runs on Next.js 16 with member and coach sides. Gymove, the best-known fitness admin template, is a React app built with Vite.

Conclusion

Pick by the screens your staff need and by who builds the backend. If you want an industry admin with its detail screens, English and Arabic, and a NestJS API you can buy with it, start with the Aniq UI dashboard for your industry. If you already have an API, RestroPOS, the Frontkit kits, Minimal or Lahomes can be a cheaper start. For free and general, TailAdmin, the Next.js shadcn Dashboard Starter and shadcn-admin are solid bases, and Medusa is the pick when the commerce engine matters more than the admin's design.
