Larafast homepage overview highlighting Laravel support, Filament admin panel, and payment options.
Larafast is Sergey Karakhanyan's Laravel SaaS boilerplate for developers who want a working foundation with FilamentPHP admin, payments, and user dashboards without configuring the stack by hand. When you buy, you pick between two main paths: the TALL stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, and Livewire 3) or the VILT stack (Vue 3, Inertia.js, Laravel, and Tailwind CSS). There is also a standalone Multi-Tenancy package built on Laravel 13 and Filament v5 that adds team accounts, invitations, and team-scoped billing.
Billing supports Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, and Paddle for one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions. For authentication, Larafast uses Laravel Socialite for OAuth (Google, GitHub, Twitter) alongside magic links and standard passwords. The package includes over 30 DaisyUI themes, dynamic Open Graph image generation, an SEO-ready blog, and a roadmap with voting. For AI features, it provides pre-configured OpenAI and xAI API integrations. Sergey actively maintains the codebase, shipping multi-tenancy Stripe sync updates in late 2025 and launching Larafast Directory in January 2026.
Setup is handled via the Larafast Installer (curl -s -O https://larafast.com/install && bash install) or by cloning your purchased GitHub repository directly. The $199 Livewire plan includes access to both the TALL (Livewire) and VILT (Vue/Inertia) repositories. Keep in mind that Livewire relies on server roundtrips for state updates, which can feel less instant than client-rendered React or Vue apps during rapid interactions. If you need rich client-side responsiveness, the Vue/Inertia kit is the smoother choice.
Looking for other stacks? If you build on Next.js, check out ShipFast for a lean solo founder MVP or supastarter for a comprehensive Turborepo foundation. Building a directory site instead? Look at Dirstarter.
