    Trying to pick the best Next.js SaaS boilerplate, and every list ranks a kit as if every product is the same job?

    The best Next.js SaaS boilerplate is the one that matches the job

    There is no winner for every product. A blank general SaaS, a multi-tenant B2B, and a kit with finished apps on it are different jobs. Ranked by the job, not by who paid for this page.

    Direct answer

    There is no single best Next.js SaaS boilerplate. Pick by the job. If you want the biggest community around an empty shell, ShipFast. If you need tenancy, MakerKit. If you want a complete starter you can use for any product — Better Auth, Drizzle, the agent pack, plus eight apps you can fork or ignore — AnotherWrapper. If you want the free official kit, the Next.js SaaS starter.

    Pick by the job

    Not a paid ranking. Each of these is the right answer for someone.

    ShipFast

    $199 once

    The largest community in the category. Auth, Stripe, emails, a blog. MongoDB or Supabase. A blank shell you fill in. The default if you want people who have already hit your error.

    Best for: The biggest community around a starter, and you will write the first product.

    MakerKit

    $299 once

    The org kit. Multi-tenancy, roles, i18n, framework choice. AI is an add-on. Buy it when the first version of the product is the org chart, not the model.

    Best for: B2B SaaS that needs teams, roles, and i18n on day one.

    AnotherWrapper

    $249 once

    If the product is the AI

    A complete Next.js SaaS kit on Better Auth, Drizzle, and Postgres — plus eight finished apps you can fork if you need them, the agent pack, and the two-week launch plan. Use the foundation for any product.

    Best for: A Next.js product you can launch this weekend, with finished apps in the box if you want them.

    supastarter

    $299 once

    A polished general Next.js kit with a wide payments list and one chatbot. Production-grade infrastructure. Light on finished AI apps. Aimed at assembling a starter, not forking a product.

    Best for: A general Next.js SaaS with many payment providers, where one chatbot is enough AI.

    Next.js SaaS Starter

    Free

    Vercel's public Next.js SaaS starter. Stripe, Postgres, Drizzle, shadcn. Free, official, thin. You will read every line. You will also build the product yourself.

    Best for: Paying $0 for an official, auditable starter, and accepting that the apps are on you.

    T3

    Free

    create-t3-app is a type-safe Next.js stack, not a SaaS kit. No Stripe, no emails, no dashboard, no AI apps. People search it next to boilerplates. It is a different object.

    Best for: Starting from a typed Next.js stack and wiring the SaaS layer yourself.

    ShipFree

    Free

    A free, open-source kit in the ShipFast shape. Next.js, auth, Stripe. Smaller community, fewer guarantees. The honest $0 option if you want that architecture and will not pay $199. OpenSaaS is the other free name people cite — it is Wasp, not Next.js.

    Best for: A free Next.js SaaS shell, and you will own the gaps.

    There is no best kit. There is a best kit for a job.

    Auth and a Stripe webhook are the same in every serious Next.js starter. The product is not. A billing dashboard, a multi-tenant B2B, and a metered image generator do not fork the same repo. Rankings that ignore that are selling a table, not an answer. Pick the job first. The kit follows.

    If you want a general SaaS shell

    ShipFast is the kit most people already know. Largest community, most YouTube videos, most Reddit threads. You get a general shell and you fill it in. supastarter is the more polished general kit if you want a wider payments list. Both leave the first product on you. That can be the point of buying them.

    If you need organizations on day one

    MakerKit. Teams, roles, i18n, framework choice. That inventory costs $299 and it is a real reason to pay it. Most products do not need an org chart before they have ten paying users. If you already know you are selling seats to companies, do not start on a kit that makes you add tenancy later as a surprise.

    If you want a kit you can actually launch

    A blank SaaS shell leaves the first product on you, and an agent will happily rewrite auth while it “helps.” AnotherWrapper is a complete Next.js starter on Better Auth, Drizzle, and Postgres, with the agent pack, a launch plan, and eight finished apps sitting on that foundation. Use the kit for any product. Fork an app if you need one.

    If you want to pay nothing

    The official Next.js SaaS starter is the clean free choice: public, Stripe, Postgres, Drizzle. T3 is free too, and it is a stack generator, not a SaaS. ShipFree is the free ShipFast-shaped clone. OpenSaaS is free and fine if you will leave Next.js for Wasp. Free means you own every gap. That can be the right trade.

    The roundup you wanted does not exist.

    Every 'best Next.js boilerplate' list ranks a kit as if every SaaS is the same job. Auth and Stripe are table stakes. The product is not. A billing dashboard, a multi-tenant B2B, and a metered image generator do not fork the same repo, and a feature table that pretends they do is not a decision.

    So pick the job, then the kit.

    ShipFast if you want the crowd and a general shell. MakerKit if you need orgs. The official starter if you want free and official. AnotherWrapper if you wanted a Next.js kit you can launch — Better Auth, Drizzle, the harness, and eight apps you can use or ignore.

    Pick by the job. Then stop shopping kits.

    If you wanted a kit you can launch any product on, $249 buys Better Auth, Drizzle, the agent pack, eight apps if you need them, and the two-week launch path — not another empty Next.js shell.

    • The foundation is a full Next.js SaaS kit — auth, database, payments, analytics, email. Use it for any product. The eight apps are extra.
    • Better Auth — OAuth, magic links, requireUser() on every server boundary. Drizzle + Postgres. Any Postgres host. Not locked to one vendor.
    • Stripe, Polar and LemonSqueezy. Credits and a paywall gate.
    • PostHog, Plausible or DataFast — one env switch. Loops, Resend or Brevo — one env switch. Sentry.
    • AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md, architecture docs, .env locked in settings, sixty slash commands, Fork-It prompts, security and payment review skills
    • 8 finished apps: chat, image, video, voice, transcription, vision, marketing plan, launch simulator
    • Seven provider SDKs + ElevenLabs, streaming, tool calling, one model registry

    P.S. If you scrolled straight here, and I do that too, here is the whole thing. A private GitHub repo with 8 finished AI apps in it, the auth, payments, model and RAG layers underneath them, the Agent Command Pack that stops your agent wrecking any of it, and the three bonuses above. $14,000 of finished work, for $249 once.

    Nothing to cancel and nothing to renew. Read it, and if it is not what I just described, you have 30 days to say so and get every dollar back.

    And the reason to do it tonight rather than next month is the one I opened with: you are already paying $100–$200 a month to an agent that keeps rebuilding this foundation for you. Wait a month and you buy it again.

    Then take the free scan and go and check the app you already have.

    One prompt you paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. It reads your repo and checks it against the seven failures above, then tells you which ones you have, with file names and line numbers. Most people find at least two.

    The scan is yours to keep. After that I send what I am building and what I learn shipping it, so new prompts and new playbooks. Unsubscribe in one click.
