Start from week 8,
not day 1.
A Next.js starter kit with auth, Stripe billing, admin panel, and 24 pages — so you skip the boilerplate and start building your actual product.
This is an early announcement — the kit launches next week. Sign up to get notified and lock in the launch price.
This is a starter kit, not a finished SaaS.
LaunchFast gives you 8+ weeks of foundational work — auth, billing, admin panel, dashboard, and a polished UI — so you can start building your actual product from day one instead of wrestling with boilerplate. You'll still need to add your own features, business logic, and customizations on top of it. That's the point: skip the infrastructure, focus on what makes your product unique.
The Setup Tax
Every SaaS starts the same way — weeks of boilerplate before you write a single line of product code.
Or skip it all and start building your product for $79.

What's NOT Included
This is a starter kit, not a finished product. Here's what you'll build on top — the stuff that makes your product uniquely yours.
No team/multi-user billing
This is a solo SaaS starter. One user = one subscription. No seat-based pricing, no team invites, no shared workspaces.
No in-app subscription management
Cancellation, plan switching, and invoice history all go through Stripe's hosted portal. No custom cancellation flow or invoice history page built in.
No file uploads
No S3/Cloudflare R2 integration. No image upload, no file attachments.
No API key management
No user-facing API keys or developer portal.
No analytics/tracking
No Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog, or custom event tracking. Dashboard stats are live DB counts, not time-series analytics.
No rate limiting
No request throttling on API routes or server actions.
No activity/audit logs
No user activity history or admin audit trail.
No full-text search
No search across projects or messages beyond basic DB queries.
No webhooks for users
No outgoing webhook system for users to subscribe to events.
No 2FA/MFA
WebAuthn model exists in schema but is not implemented in UI.
No CI/CD pipeline
No GitHub Actions, Vercel config, or deployment scripts included.
No automated tests
No unit tests, integration tests, or E2E tests.
Chat is polling-based, not WebSocket
Works well but not instant. 3-5 second delay on messages.
Landing page stats are placeholder
Hero section numbers (2,847 users, $48.2K revenue) are demo values meant to be replaced.
Clean Code, Not Spaghetti
No // TODO comments. No hacks. TypeScript strict mode. Every line ships.
export const FREE_TIER_LIMITS = {
MAX_PROJECTS: 3,
MAX_STORAGE_MB: 100,
} as const;
export function hasProAccess(
user: User & { subscription?: Subscription | null }
): boolean {
if (!user.subscription) return false;
const { status, currentPeriodEnd } = user.subscription;
const isActive = status === 'ACTIVE' || status === 'TRIALING';
const isNotExpired = currentPeriodEnd
? new Date(currentPeriodEnd) > new Date()
: false;
return isActive && isNotExpired;
}
252 Files. Organized.
Every file has a purpose. Server actions, components, and lib are cleanly separated.
