Key takeaways
- ✓ Every plugin on this list supports Filament 5 (most support 4 and 5 from one release), checked against Packagist in September 2026.
- ✓ Before adding a plugin, check whether core Filament now does the job. Since v4, core covers MFA, a TipTap rich editor, table repeaters, import/export and nested resources.
- ✓ Only packages in the
filament/namespace are official. For everything else, check maintenance, supported versions and licence. - ✓ Paid picks worth the money: Filament Blueprint (AI planning), the official themes, and commercial plugins with a clear licence.
The Filament plugin directory lists hundreds of packages, and quality ranges from excellent to abandoned. This list is curated for 2026 and Filament v5. Every entry was checked for a v5-compatible release, and they’re grouped by the job they do, so you can go straight to the one you need.

How we chose: active maintenance in 2026, a release that allows Filament 5, real-world adoption (downloads and stars), and that it solves a problem core Filament doesn’t.

How to vet any plugin in five minutes
- Supported versions: run
composer why-not filament/filament 5.0after adding it to a scratch branch, or check the “Supported versions” badge. - Health: the Filament directory now shows an automated package health score (security, maintenance, ecosystem). Treat anything flagged as abandoned as a no.
- Last release and open issues on GitHub.
- Licence: MIT is simple. AGPL and commercial licences need a decision.
- Blast radius: does it publish views, add global middleware, or change your models? Prefer plugins that don’t.
