SaaS Boilerplate vs Building from Scratch — What's Better?

Supastarter was extremely easy to get set up and deployed. I had a working project in just a few minutes!

Thank you Jonathan 🫡, @supastarter definitely saved us a couple of weeks of bootstrapping the new website!

Fantastic product packed with tons of features. Reading through the docs I can see the huge amount of work and love that was put into this. Not a common sight these days!

The SaaS starter template for Next.js - So cool to learn about @supastarter from @jonathan_wilke on the most recent episode of @compressedfm

I'm very happy with this Next.js boilerplate! The codebase is well-structured and secure, making it a solid foundation for my app. Highly recommend it!

We're a product development studio, and supastarter is the starting point for many of our SaaS projects. It saves us a ton of time so we can focus on what actually matters: building great products.

When we first set out to build Spyglasses we knew we needed an MVP before we even considered fundraising. That led us to researching starter kits. We looked at a dozen before settling on Supastarter. It had all the features we needed plus strong Cursor integration, which was critical to us. Thanks to Supastarter we saved 7+ months on our development estimates and even managed to pull some nice-to-haves into our initial launch.

I am a super happy customer, 10/10 recommend

As someone experienced with backend development but with limited frontend experience, I knew from the beginning that I would need to use a starter kit. There were a few options, and I decided to go with supastarter. It turned out to be the right call. Supastarter + AI coding + some common sense and guidance -> the project was shipped much faster than I anticipated. I would definitely use it again and not build things like auth, org and user management, and many other things all SaaS businesses need from scratch. Highly recommended!

The code is excellent and perfect for building complex apps, but what really sets supastarter apart is the support. Every time I needed help, I got a response incredibly fast. This kind of support makes all the difference when building serious projects.

Kudos to @jonathan_wilke for building an awesome SaaS starter kit 🚀🚀🚀

Supastarter is awesome! I can build my MVP with confidence and my team is happy with the development experience. Service support is excellent! This is the first time I've seen a PPP applied not from a course. Very helpful for indie hackers. Highly recommend!

Just chose @supastarter as nextjs/supabase boilerplate for my next health/biohacking SaaS over other alternatives. Why ? - Extensive documentation, while keeping things simple and down to earth - Clean UI made directly with Radix - ORM (Prisma)

Decided to go with @supastarter by @jonathan_wilke 🔥

@supastarter has established itself as one of the premier boilerplates for Indie Hackers and Micro-SaaS builders. Their reputation speaks for itself, and we couldn't be more thrilled about this collaboration! 🍦🫶

This is the ultimate Starter kit made by a real expert. It has everything you need to launch quick!

I compared many SaaS boilerplates before choosing Supastarter, and it truly didn't disappoint. I launched two SaaS products quickly and smoothly, and I'm now recommending Supastarter to friends who want to start their own SaaS projects!

Wow this SaaS starter kit is really a game changer, and time saver, it helps building your next product SaaS much faster than before, we need more products like this, but this is the best one here 🔥 thanks for building supastarter 🙏

Well made, beautiful design, many useful integrations. Saves hours of work and headaches. Totally recommended. Great work Jonathan. Supported.

After comparing various starter template products, I can confidently say that Supastarter offers the best value (and arguably the best design!). It would be amazing to see more builders benefit from this product.

This is a fantastic product built around the awesome supabase BaaS. I've spent quite some time playing around with it and it's 100% production ready – the i18n straight out of the box is my favourite feature as a European :) @jonathan_wilke2 is killing it! 🙏

As an experienced developer and an indie hacker, I prioritize speed when shipping products. After trying out Supastarter, I was genuinely impressed! Its built-in features allowed me to launch my latest product in just a few days—without getting bogged down by boilerplate. Supastarter will definitely be my go-to for future launches!

I've stumbled upon the most cutting-edge SaaS starter I've ever encountered - it's not just about the polished visuals, but the entire technical foundation is built on modern best practices and tools, making it a true game-changer for anyone looking to launch a SaaS product.

I used @supastarter to kickstart the development of my SaaS, uppybe.com, and it has been an absolute game-changer. It saved me countless hours, allowing me to focus on what truly matters—building my business. @jonathan_wilke has created something invaluable. I highly recommend @supastarter!

Choosing Supastarter was one of the best decisions I made for launching my website, http://domainscore.ai. The template is incredibly well-designed and easy to customize, allowing me to get my site up and running in no time. The built-in features and integrations saved me hours of development work, and the end result is a polished, professional site that has already attracted over 2,000 UVs within its first week. The support from the Supastarter team has been outstanding, and I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to helping creators succeed. The fact that Supastarter's official Twitter account even gave us a shoutout speaks volumes about their dedication to their users. I highly recommend Supastarter to anyone looking to launch a high-quality website quickly and efficiently.

I built the entire backend of my product, Phew AI Tab, using Supastarter, including the user system and payments and other api. Initially, I used Lemonsqueezy but switched to Stripe for specific reasons later on. I can't imagine how much time it would have taken without Supastarter; it only took a few days. What impressed me the most was the tech support from Supastarter. Even for issues not directly related to Supastarter, Jonathan provided timely and professional responses, which was a huge help and a great learning experience. Supastarter has grown even more powerful since I first used it. I highly recommend it to everyone starting their business, even up to a medium-sized team, as its comprehensive system can fully support growth. I'm so glad I chose Supastarter and I'm thankful for the team's support.

It really saved me a lot of time, I don't know how long it would have taken if I hadn't had supastarter. It's an amazing project, I loved the clean architecture and easy to take off and put on whatever you need, excellent job!

This supastarter has change my life of developer. With my CTO we are launching a startup and this boilerplate has really accelerate the development. As a developer of 10 years experience, I see that this has been built based on strong knowledge of the development covering all aspects, infrastructure, backend frontend with letting always the easiest way to customize. I would recommend it at 100% to a friend :) Well done Jonathan !

Grabbed my copy of the most supadupa #Nextjs #boilerplate back in December. The pace of releases and DX improvements is crazy. @jonathan_wilke gets it. After an exhaustive review this is the only #production ready #starter I found.

I'm using @supastarter by @jonathan_wilke ITS REALLY AMAZING 🔥

I recently encountered a minor issue in a piece of software I was using, which prompted me to report the problem on Discord. To my surprise and delight, the response from the development team was incredibly swift. Within just 10 minutes, not only had they addressed my concern, but they also committed the fix to GitHub. I was thoroughly impressed by the speed and efficiency of the team's action. It's rare to receive such prompt and effective support. This experience has certainly raised my expectations for customer service in the tech industry. Kudos to the team for their exemplary service!

Supastarter is truly an exceptional startup template! It boasts an impressive structure and exudes professionalism right from the start. The authentication options provided are top-notch, seamlessly integrated into the system. Additionally, the databases and other components are designed with efficiency and effectiveness in mind. The thoughtful consideration for serverless solutions is evident, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to modern development challenges. I adore the layout and highly recommend it as a startup template to others. It has saved me a tremendous amount of initial time in my project, proving to be an invaluable asset.

Supastarter has helped me launch a new product in record time - it gives you everything you need to get up and running quickly, and provides a framework to work on top of. Easily the best investment I've made in my SaaS product. Well done!

If I would need to start a newSaaS from scratch, I would definitely choose supastarter for it. I love the provided tools & libraries, the documentation is good and you get help in its Discord community.

Jonathan's Supastarter has taught me a lot. Great separation of concerns and code quality here. Learning from an actual codebase is far superior to watching the best video course ever.

Supastarter helped a ton with getting my project off the ground! You get authentication, prisma db connections, migrations, marketing and saas folders for your app, the damn complex payment subscription hooks setup. It's gonna save you weeks of having to slouch through your side project because Stripe hook doesn't work / connecting your data to your users is hard. At this price, Supastarter is unbeatable in helping you cut down on development time and speed 🚀

Supastarter was exactly what I was looking for to help spring board my first react SaaS web app and at a reasonable price point. The pre-built landing page, signup, database, light/dark theming setup gave me a guideline of good practices to follow and allowed me to get right to prototyping my ideas.

Supastarter is just awesome! It helped me go from scratch to authentication and payments integrated in minutes. Jonathan (the founder) is excellent and ready to support you every step of the way! I don't think there's a better way to kickstart your next SaaS!

Supastarter is truly a blessing for developers! It greatly simplifies the project creation process, helping us save a whole week of development time. This solution is not only efficient but also very suitable for team collaboration, allowing us to focus more on innovation and bringing our ideas to life.

If you are in the market for a boilerplate for your next web-based project, you should check out @supastarter. I bought it, and it checks out after I reviewed the code a bit. I'm looking forward to using it for all of my web-based side projects going forward.
