BuildSaaS is a Next.js starter kit (boilerplate) that provides a pre-built SaaS application foundation with authentication, payments, admin panel, and content management, enabling developers to ship production-ready products 10x faster.
What is Buildsaas?
BuildSaaS is a complete SaaS boilerplate built on Next.js 15 that takes your application idea as input and outputs a deployable codebase with authentication, payment processing, content management, and an admin dashboard. It runs on Vercel (deployment) and supports both Firebase and Supabase for database/auth, with Stripe or Polar for payments. The kit is created and maintained by an indie developer (Shrey, referenced in user testimonials) and is available as a one-time purchase.
