Nextbase
All-in-one Next.js SaaS boilerplate
- Code Export
What Is the Nextbase Starter Kit?
Nextbase is a premium boilerplate that wraps Next.js 14 with Supabase on the back-end and a modern shadcn-ui/Tailwind front-end, giving indie hackers a production-ready SaaS foundation in hours instead of weeks.
It comes in Lite (open-source) and paid tiers, but even the free version ships with a typed codebase, testing presets, and CI tooling. Over 400 makers have already launched products with it.

Pros and Cons
Pros ✅
Ridiculously fast launch: Core SaaS plumbing finished in <1 day
Modern, typed stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript & React Server Components
Lifetime updates: one-time licence includes future versions
Active community & Discord support straight from the creator
Scales with add-ons: upgrade tiers (Pro/Ultimate) unlock extras like multi-tenant billing
Cons ⚠️
Not cheap for hobbyists: Pro/Ultimate licences run $299-$399
Opinionated setup: Supabase + Stripe are hard-wired; swapping takes work
Feature overload: some users find unused bells & whistles bloating codebase
Docs still catch up to v3: a few pages rely on JS rendering and feel sparse
