About SaaSBold
SaaSBold (Next.js, free, paid from $149) - Next.js 16 SaaS starter with admin dashboard and three payment providers. Best for: Solo founders shipping a single-tenant B2C or prosumer app who want a polished UI, a real admin panel, and a choice of Stripe, Paddle or LemonSqueezy for a $149 one-time fee.
The usual reason to look elsewhere: you are building B2B SaaS with teams, workspaces or per-organization billing — there is no multi-tenancy here, and you would be retrofitting it into someone else's schema.

| Next.js SaaS Starter | Next.js | Free | 16,088 | Teams that want to read and own every line of their SaaS foundation instead of adopting a paid kit's abstractions, and don't mind upgrading Next.js versions themselves. |
| supastarter | Next.js | $299 one-time | - | A solo founder or small team building a multi-tenant B2B SaaS in TypeScript who wants orgs, billing, and i18n working on day one and will build inside the kit's architecture, not around it. |

IndieKit
Next.js · Free, paid from $79 · 26 stars
Best for: A solopreneur or first-time founder building a SaaS with Next.js who wants shadcn/ui and Pro's multi-tenant, billing layer, and most of the features you need already built.
Compared with SaaSBold
- Free, paid from $79 - cheaper than SaaSBold (free, paid from $149).
- Lists multi-tenancy, teams/organizations and background jobs, which SaaSBold doesn't.
You specifically need a Turborepo monorepo setup - IndieKit ships as a single Next.js app, not a monorepo, as of this review.
MakerKit
Next.js · Free, paid from $349 · 465 stars
Best for: A small team committing to a multi-tenant B2B product for the long haul, who will get their money back from the monorepo structure, test setup and RBAC rather than from launching this weekend.
Compared with SaaSBold
- Free, paid from $349 - more than SaaSBold (free, paid from $149).
- Lists multi-tenancy, teams/organizations and end-to-end tests, which SaaSBold doesn't.
You do client or agency work - the Pro license bars it outright, and Team License client work still requires each client to hold their own license. Open-sourcing your build is barred too.
Next.js SaaS Starter
Next.js · Free · 16,088 stars
Best for: Teams that want to read and own every line of their SaaS foundation instead of adopting a paid kit's abstractions, and don't mind upgrading Next.js versions themselves.
Compared with SaaSBold
- Free, where SaaSBold is free, paid from $149.
- Lists teams/organizations, which SaaSBold doesn't.
- Doesn't list i18n, an admin dashboard and a blog/CMS, which SaaSBold has.
You need multi-tenancy beyond owner/member roles, i18n, transactional email or a test suite out of the box, because this ships none of them and you will be building each one yourself.
supastarter
Next.js · $299 one-time
Best for: A solo founder or small team building a multi-tenant B2B SaaS in TypeScript who wants orgs, billing, and i18n working on day one and will build inside the kit's architecture, not around it.
Compared with SaaSBold
- $299 one-time - more than SaaSBold (free, paid from $149).
- Closed source - you can't read the code before buying, unlike SaaSBold.
- Lists multi-tenancy, teams/organizations, AI chat and background jobs, which SaaSBold doesn't.
You want to read the source before paying, or you might switch frameworks later - the repo is private until purchase and each license covers exactly one framework version.
Achromatic
Next.js · $180 one-time
Best for: A solo founder or small team shipping one Next.js SaaS that needs orgs, Stripe billing and a credit-gated AI feature, without paying four figures for a starter kit.
Compared with SaaSBold
- $180 one-time - more than SaaSBold (free, paid from $149).
- Closed source - you can't read the code before buying, unlike SaaSBold.
- Lists multi-tenancy, teams/organizations, AI chat and end-to-end tests, which SaaSBold doesn't.
- Doesn't list i18n, which SaaSBold has.
You need i18n or a monorepo holding several apps - neither ships here, and with the source private you can't check the fit before you buy.
MkSaaS
Next.js · $139 one-time
Best for: Solo builders shipping an AI-flavored SaaS who want billing, auth, i18n and an admin panel already wired together instead of assembled from scratch.
Compared with SaaSBold
- $139 one-time - cheaper than SaaSBold (free, paid from $149).
- Closed source - you can't read the code before buying, unlike SaaSBold.
- Lists AI chat, which SaaSBold doesn't.
- Doesn't list role-based access, which SaaSBold has.
You want to read the code before paying, or need a proven support and community track record - the repos are private and independent discussion of it is nearly nonexistent.
Next Forge
Next.js · Free · 7,670 stars
Best for: Teams that want a production-grade Turborepo monorepo reference architecture (separate web/app/api/docs apps) rather than a single-app starter.
Compared with SaaSBold
- Free, where SaaSBold is free, paid from $149.
- Doesn't list role-based access, built-in payments, subscriptions and auth, which SaaSBold has.
You want a single simple app, not a monorepo - the Turborepo structure is real overhead if you don't need multiple apps sharing packages.
