supastarter alternatives
7 SaaS kits compared with supastarter on price, license, framework and features.
About supastarter
supastarter (Next.js, $299 one-time) - Commercial TypeScript SaaS kit, sold per framework as a one-time license. 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.
The usual reason to look elsewhere: 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.
| Kit | Framework | Price | Stars | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Achromatic | Next.js | $180 one-time | - | 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. |
| IndieKit | Next.js | Free, paid from $79 | 26 | 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. |
| MakerKit | Next.js | Free, paid from $349 | 465 | 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. |
| SaaSBold | Next.js | Free, paid from $149 | 182 | 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. |
| MkSaaS | Next.js | $139 one-time | - | Solo builders shipping an AI-flavored SaaS who want billing, auth, i18n and an admin panel already wired together instead of assembled from scratch. |
| 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. |
| ShipFast | Next.js | $199 one-time | - | A solo founder shipping their first paid Next.js SaaS who wants auth, Stripe, and email already connected and is happy to pay to skip that setup. |
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 supastarter
- $180 one-time - cheaper than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Lists end-to-end tests, which supastarter doesn't.
- Doesn't list i18n and background jobs, which supastarter 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.
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 supastarter
- Free, paid from $79 - cheaper than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Public repository, so you can read the code first - supastarter's isn't public.
- Doesn't list AI chat, which supastarter has.
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 supastarter
- Free, paid from $349 - more than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Public repository, so you can read the code first - supastarter's isn't public.
- Lists end-to-end tests, which supastarter doesn't.
- Doesn't list AI chat and background jobs, which supastarter has.
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.
SaaSBold
Next.js · Free, paid from $149 · 182 stars
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.
Compared with supastarter
- Free, paid from $149 - cheaper than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Public repository, so you can read the code first - supastarter's isn't public.
- Doesn't list multi-tenancy, teams/organizations, AI chat and background jobs, which supastarter has.
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.
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 supastarter
- $139 one-time - cheaper than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Doesn't list multi-tenancy, teams/organizations, role-based access and background jobs, which supastarter 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.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 supastarter
- Free, where supastarter is $299 one-time.
- Public repository, so you can read the code first - supastarter's isn't public.
- Doesn't list multi-tenancy, i18n, an admin dashboard and a blog/CMS, which supastarter 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.
ShipFast
Next.js · $199 one-time
Best for: A solo founder shipping their first paid Next.js SaaS who wants auth, Stripe, and email already connected and is happy to pay to skip that setup.
Compared with supastarter
- $199 one-time - cheaper than supastarter ($299 one-time).
- Doesn't list multi-tenancy, teams/organizations, role-based access and i18n, which supastarter has.
You need to read the code before you spend money, or your team requires an auditable commit history - the repo is private and there are no refunds once access is granted.
