About

Vaadin is an open-source web framework for building enterprise web applications in Java. It provides server-side UI development with a unified Java stack, allowing developers to build backend logic and user interfaces in the same language without HTML or JavaScript for most application code.

The platform includes open-source UI components, documentation, community resources, browserless UI testing, and a free commercial-use plan. The pricing page lists a perpetual Free plan with Vaadin Framework, all open-source UI components, Vaadin Copilot full access, Figma libraries, Browserless UI testing, Collaboration Kit, docs and tutorials, and a directory with 2,000+ add-ons. Commercial components, TestBench, and enterprise support are reserved for paid tiers.

  • 100% Java UI development
  • Open-source Apache 2.0 license
  • 2,000+ add-ons directory
  • Browserless UI testing
  • Figma libraries included
  • Collaboration Kit access
  • Commercial components excluded

Feature parity 78%

This free tier is genuinely usable for commercial work and is perpetual, with no credit card required. It includes the core framework, open-source components, Copilot, browserless testing, collaboration tools, and add-ons, but it leaves out the commercial UI components and TestBench that come with Pro; at $159 per developer/month, that makes the free offering worth roughly 30% of Pro, or about $48/month.
