Nuxt has one supported release line and Next.js has 2. Next.js 15 reaches end of life on Oct 21, 2026, and Nuxt 3 reached end of life on Jul 31, 2026. Both are open source under the MIT licence. OSV.dev lists 16 advisories from the last 12 months for Nuxt and 44 for Next.js (one in CISA’s known-exploited list).
Last checked against endoflife.date, npm, deps.dev, OSV.dev and CISA KEV.
Every value links to its source. Where a row doesn’t apply to one of them, the cell says why.

Full-stack Vue framework for server-rendered and static web apps
React framework for production
From StackPrism’s curated notes. Pricing isn’t covered here: it changes often, so check each vendor’s pricing page.
Both are full-stack frameworks for server-rendered web apps, and the deciding factor is usually the UI library: Next.js is built on React and Nuxt on Vue, so the one your team already knows tends to win.
Release lines and end-of-life dates come from endoflife.date, release counts from deps.dev’s publish dates, and advisories from OSV.dev, counted once per flaw even when it’s listed under several ids, and checked against CISA’s list of vulnerabilities known to be exploited. Status and incident history come from each vendor’s public status feed; licences from each project’s licence file or the vendor’s licensing page, linked in the table.
The data refreshes every few hours and the time it was checked is shown above. There’s no pricing and no overall winner: which one fits depends on your constraints. To see how the versions you actually run hold up, check your repo.
