- Best for
- Nuxt/Vue developers who want Better Auth, Polar billing, and an admin dashboard in a modern Nuxt 4 monorepo without recurring license fees.

Built as a Turborepo monorepo on Nuxt 4, it includes Better Auth with social login and passkeys, Polar for subscription and lifetime-deal billing, an admin dashboard with impersonation and banning, PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, i18n, and Playwright E2E tests preconfigured.
