Supastarter is a SaaS boilerplate built by Jonathan Wilke for real power users. While most boilerplates are a simple dashboard with a payments integration, Supastarter also covers multi-tenancy, roles and permissions, translations, an admin panel, and five payment providers. The Next.js kit (which you can also buy for Nuxt and TanStack Start) is organized as a Turborepo workspace, which means your marketing site, your SaaS app, your documentation, and your email previews each live in their own app.

Supastarter uses better-auth for authentication, which handles password auth, OAuth, magic links, passkeys, and 2FA. For billing, you can choose between Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Creem, and Dodo. They all run via one interface so when you switch your payment provider later, you don't have to rewrite the checkout flow. For the database you pick either Prisma or Drizzle, on Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite. The kit also includes a typed Hono/oRPC API and a set of agent skills for Cursor and Claude Code.

Want to test Supastarter before buying? You can find their public demo on demo.supastarter.dev. Setup is quite easy. You simply run npx supastarter new in your terminal. Because it uses a monorepo, your code is split across dedicated apps and shared packages instead of living in a single directory. When a new version comes out, you pull it in by rebasing your code on top of the upstream repository, and that becomes harder the more you have rewritten. The Solo license costs $299 once and includes multi-tenancy. Several profitable SaaS products are built with Supastarter, including Affonso, an affiliate platform for SaaS companies. Older Product Hunt reviews mention Supabase, but you can use any Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite provider.

Curious how it stacks up? Our SaaS boilerplates catalog has the alternatives. If you only need a marketing site, Shipixen is the cheaper answer.

Actively maintained across Next.js, Nuxt, and TanStack

Best for

Founders and small teams building a Next.js, Nuxt, or TanStack Start SaaS that needs multi-tenancy, roles, and more than one payment provider.

Skip if

You want the cheapest lean MVP kit, you dislike monorepos, or you only need a landing page plus Stripe.

Score breakdown

Overall Huzzler Score 4.6 / 5

The boilerplate includes authentication, multi-tenancy, five payment providers, an admin panel, translations, a typed API, file storage, background jobs, and agent skills. That makes it one of the fullest kits in this category.

The $299 Solo license is exceptional value when you factor in multi-tenancy, translations, and the built-in admin panel. It is only overkill if you need a barebones landing page with basic checkout.

The public documentation is quite comprehensive, covering setup, authentication, payments, the database, the API, and deployment. You can also download it as Markdown to feed your coding agent, and the changelog is updated often.

The npx supastarter new command gets you running quickly, but you still need time to learn how the Turborepo is put together. Pulling in later updates means rebasing your code, not clicking an upgrade button.

Every license includes access to an active Discord community with over 1,470 developers. Buyers say the founder answers questions fast and pushes GitHub fixes the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Is supastarter a subscription?

No, you pay once. The Solo license costs $299, Startup costs $799, and Agency costs $1,499. Each one gives you lifetime GitHub access and updates, and you can build unlimited projects on it without any recurring fees.

What stack does supastarter use?

You can buy the kit for Next.js, Nuxt, or TanStack Start. Supastarter uses better-auth for authentication, and for the database you choose Prisma or Drizzle on Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite. The API layer uses Hono with oRPC. For payments you can connect Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Creem, or Dodo. The interface is built with Tailwind and Base UI components that stay compatible with shadcn.

Does one purchase include every framework?

No, each framework version is sold as a separate license. Buy the Next.js kit if that is your stack, and only add Nuxt or TanStack Start if you actually need those too.

How is supastarter different from ShipFast?

ShipFast is leaner and cheaper if you want a fast Next.js MVP. Supastarter costs more and includes multi-tenancy, an admin panel, full translations, a typed API layer, more payment providers, and a Turborepo built for products that need to grow.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. You can browse the demo marketing site at demo.supastarter.dev and log into the demo app at app-demo.supastarter.dev, and the full documentation is public at supastarter.dev/docs.
