Companies Using Filament

Mostly small companies and the developers who build their internal apps: 56.2% of matched companies have 1 to 10 staff. In a random sample on 14 November 2026, 17 of the 31 domains that loaded opened on a Filament panel's sign-in page. Larger users run it for one tool, such as O2 Czech Republic's careers site or Ethio telecom's bill-complaint service.

Our November 2026 crawl counts 2,310 domains running Filament, after removing 39 for-sale, alias and duplicate domains, and 1,371 of them match a company. They are domains, not customers: Filament is free and open source, and one agency or SaaS can run it for many clients. Since tracking began on 16 March 2026, 222 domains dropped it.

0.13% of Developer Tooling at TechnologyChecker.io, 18th in the category, with 2,310 domains. Webpack (38.18%), Babel (20.68%) and Turbopack (18.84%) lead it. Those are front-end build tools, so the share compares unlike products. Filament's real rivals are other Laravel admin panels, which do the same job.

For a Laravel admin panel, the usual alternatives are Laravel Nova and Backpack for Laravel. Teams outside PHP build back offices with other frameworks' admin tools or with internal-tool builders. In our Developer Tooling category the largest rows are build tools, such as Webpack (699,804 domains) and Babel (379,086), which do a different job.

By matched companies: the United States (161), the Netherlands (156), the United Kingdom (134), Germany (93) and Brazil (74), then France (51) and Italy (42). Europe holds most of the list. The Netherlands in second place is unusual for a developer tool; in our sample, three Dutch-language portals opened on a Filament sign-in page.

Small ones, mostly. 56.2% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees, 23.74% have 11 to 50 and 11.03% have 51 to 200. 56 have more than 500 staff, and those usually run Filament for a single portal or internal tool on a subdomain, not their main website.

Mostly founded since 2010: 34.31% of matched companies with a founding year started in the 2010s and 26.25% in the 2020s. 16.69% date from the 2000s and 22.75% predate 2000. The older group includes telecoms, a railway engineering firm and universities, each using Filament for one portal.

On our data, a company with 1 to 10 staff in the US, the Netherlands, the UK or Germany, founded in the 2010s, in software, IT services or recruitment, whose customer portal or back office is a Laravel app on a subdomain such as app. or portal., with Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js and Livewire loaded.

Filament is an open-source framework for building business software with Laravel, per its homepage. It is built on the TALL stack: Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel and Livewire. You can use it as a full panel builder, or add its forms, tables and notifications to your own Blade views, which is how the public sites in our sample use it.

It runs on top of Laravel rather than replacing it. Filament's installation guide lists PHP 8.2+, Laravel v11.28+ and Tailwind CSS v4.1+ as requirements for version 5, and you add it to an existing Laravel project with Composer. That's why our crawl sees Livewire on 90.13% of Filament domains.

Yes. Filament's site says it is free and open source, its sponsors fund development, and its GitHub repository carries the MIT licence. The repository had about 32,500 stars when we read it on 14 November 2026, and the latest releases were v5.11.3 and v4.16.3, both from 13 November 2026.

In a Laravel project, run composer require filament/filament:"^5.0" and then php artisan filament:install --panels, per Filament's installation guide. Create a user with php artisan make:filament-user, then open /admin in your browser and sign in. Version 5 needs PHP 8.2+, Laravel v11.28+ and Tailwind CSS v4.1+.

View the page source and look for asset URLs under /js/filament/ or /css/filament/, or an inline script setting window.filamentData. Those URLs end with ?v= and the Filament version, such as 5.11.2.0. Panel sign-in pages also use class names starting with fi-, such as fi-simple-page.

Of 29 sampled pages that showed a version on 14 November 2026, 14 ran 3.x, 6 ran 4.x and 9 ran 5.x. Version 4 came out on 12 August 2025 and version 5 on 16 January 2026, per GitHub, and both lines received patch releases on 13 November 2026.
