Nodewood

A Node.js + Vue SaaS starter kit with Stripe billing and a Docker dev environment, sold as a lifetime license

Best for: Vue developers who want a full-stack Node.js/Express + Vue SaaS starter with Stripe billing and CLI code generation, bought once for lifetime updates.
Skip if: You want a free/open-source option, or you're building on React/Next.js rather than Vue.

Nodewood is a full-stack JavaScript SaaS starter combining a Node.js/Express backend with a Vue.js frontend, PostgreSQL via Knex.js migrations, and Tailwind CSS styling. It includes JWT-based authentication with CSRF protection, Stripe subscription billing, a user admin console, and CLI code generators for controllers and pages, all runnable in a Docker dev environment. It's made by Dan Hulton of Perihelion Heavy Industries and sold as a one-time license with lifetime updates.

Pros

Full-stack Node.js + Vue combination with Stripe billing and admin console pre-wired
CLI code generators for controllers/pages speed up day-to-day development
One-time purchase with lifetime updates rather than a subscription

Cons

Paid only, starting at $295, with no free tier to try first
Single-maintainer product without a visible public GitHub repo to inspect the code before buying
Vue-only - not an option for teams standardized on React
