I am a software engineer with almost 15 years of experience writing code for both startups and enterprises.
My love for creating digital products inspired me to build Makerkit, a SaaS Starter Kit that helps you launch the SaaS you have always dreamed of.
My job is to help you achieve your goals, and I work hard to make it happen.
You can find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and GitHub.
The terms are used interchangeably, with a loose hierarchy: a template is often a UI-only design you fill in, while a starter kit or boilerplate ships working infrastructure - auth wired to a database, billing wired to Stripe, and the account model that ties them together. MakerKit is the second kind: a production-grade Next.js codebase you own and extend, not a design template or a code generator.
Yes. MakerKit Lite is a free, open source Next.js SaaS boilerplate on GitHub with Supabase authentication, marketing pages, and the same Turborepo architecture as the full kit. It is a great way to evaluate the codebase before upgrading to the full version with billing, teams, and admin tools.
MakerKit offers multiple stack options across Next.js, TanStack Start, and React Router. Next.js supports three stacks: Supabase (with Supabase Auth and Postgres RLS), Drizzle ORM with Better Auth, or Prisma with Better Auth. TanStack Start ships with Better Auth and your choice of Drizzle or Prisma, building on Vite and Nitro. React Router and Remix use Supabase. All stacks include TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, Shadcn UI, and Stripe for payments.
While AI coding assistants are powerful, using them to build SaaS infrastructure from scratch often results in inconsistent code quality, missing security best practices, and architectural decisions that do not scale. MakerKit provides a battle-tested foundation with proper patterns for authentication, multi-tenancy, and billing already implemented correctly. You can then use AI tools to build features on top of this solid foundation, getting the best of both worlds.
Due to the non-returnable nature of digital products, we cannot offer refunds once repository access is redeemed. However, we encourage you to contact us with any questions before purchasing. We can provide code snippets, demos, or clarifications to help you make an informed decision.
Forever. Your license includes lifetime access to all future updates at no additional cost. MakerKit is actively maintained and updated daily with new features, security patches, and dependency updates.
Yes, your license allows unlimited projects. You can build as many SaaS applications as you want with a single license.
All licenses include Discord community support where you can ask questions and get help from both the MakerKit team and other developers. Team licenses also include a private Discord channel for priority support.
