Is AngularJS Still Supported? End-of-Life Dates (2026)
Short answer
AngularJS is no longer supported: vendor support ended on 31 Dec 2021 (4 years and 9 months ago). HTTP Archive detected AngularJS (all versions) on 80,621 mobile home pages (0.91% of all pages crawled) in Aug 2026.
Google's Angular team ended AngularJS long-term support on 31 December 2021, so any security fix now comes from a paid third party rather than the open-source project, and AngularJS (1.x) is a different product from the still-maintained Angular 2+.

If you still run AngularJS
Upstream support ended on 31 December 2021. No new AngularJS release will fix a vulnerability found today, so an application that handles logins, payments or personal data carries that exposure until someone else patches it or the application is replaced.
The realistic options:
- Buy third-party patches. HeroDevs sells Never-Ending Support for AngularJS and prices it by the number of developers who commit code. It keeps the current code running while you plan the move. It is one vendor's maintained fork, not upstream support, so the arrangement lasts only as long as the vendor and your subscription.
- Migrate in stages. Move to Angular, React or Vue one route or component at a time, with both frameworks running side by side until the last AngularJS screen is gone. AngularJS to React migration covers scoping, cutover risks and cost ranges, and frontend modernization companies lists suppliers who do this work.
- Rewrite. This suits a small application, or one whose interface is being redesigned anyway.
Patching and migration are not exclusive: a subscription covers the gap while a staged migration runs. For budget ranges across modernization projects, see modernization costs.
Frequently asked questions
Is AngularJS still supported?
No. The Angular team ended AngularJS long-term support on 31 December 2021 (announcement), and the project's own support-status page says support has officially ended. Angular 2 and later is a separate framework that is still maintained.
Is it safe to keep running AngularJS?
The open-source package receives no fixes, so new vulnerabilities stay open. HeroDevs says it has found and fixed vulnerabilities in AngularJS since support ended (a vendor claim, see its AngularJS page), which shows the exposure is real but is available only to its customers.
Can I get extended support for AngularJS?
Yes, from a third party. HeroDevs sells Never-Ending Support for AngularJS as drop-in packages with security fixes. It states that pricing is based on the number of developers who commit code and does not publish a price. This is a vendor offering, not part of the AngularJS project.
What can replace AngularJS?
Teams usually move to a maintained framework such as Angular, React or Vue. Large applications are typically migrated in stages with both frameworks running together; see our AngularJS to React migration guide.
