Every Framework, Explained
Best NextJS SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Full-stack
The most popular framework for SaaS in 2025. Built on React with server components, API routes, and first-class Vercel deployment. The default choice for most indie hackers and startup teams.
Best React SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Frontend
The most widely adopted UI library. React boilerplates pair with Node.js, Firebase, or Supabase backends and are ideal for highly interactive dashboards and single-page applications.
Best Laravel SaaS Boilerplates
PHP · Full-stack
The leading PHP framework for SaaS development. Includes Cashier for Stripe, Sanctum for auth, and Livewire for reactive UI without leaving PHP. Strong choice for teams familiar with the PHP ecosystem.
Best Django SaaS Boilerplates
Python · Full-stack
Batteries-included Python framework with a built-in admin panel, ORM, and authentication system. Ideal for data-intensive products, AI-powered SaaS, or teams with existing Python expertise.
Best SvelteKit SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Full-stack
Compiler-first framework that ships zero runtime overhead. SvelteKit boilerplates produce smaller bundles and faster pages than React-based alternatives, making them ideal for performance-sensitive products.
Best Ruby on Rails SaaS Boilerplates
Ruby · Full-stack
Pioneered convention-over-configuration and remains one of the most productive frameworks for shipping SaaS quickly. Strong testing culture, rich gem ecosystem, and Stripe via the Pay gem.
Best React Native SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Mobile
Build native iOS and Android apps from a single JavaScript codebase. React Native boilerplates include RevenueCat for subscriptions, Apple/Google sign-in, and push notifications pre-configured.
Best Expo SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Mobile
The standard toolkit for React Native in 2025. Expo abstracts native compilation, OTA updates, and app store submissions. Expo boilerplates are the fastest path to a production mobile SaaS.
Best Remix SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Full-stack
Full-stack React framework built around web standards — native fetch, URL-based loading, and progressive enhancement. Results in clean, simple data handling for CRUD-heavy SaaS products.
Best Nuxt SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Full-stack
The full-stack framework for Vue developers. Equivalent to Next.js but for Vue 3, with Nitro server engine, hybrid rendering, and a thriving European and Asian developer community.
Best Vue SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Frontend
Approachable component model with excellent documentation. Vue boilerplates are often paired with Laravel via Inertia.js or with a Node.js backend, providing a gentle on-ramp for teams new to frontend frameworks.
Best Python SaaS Boilerplates
Python · Backend / Full-stack
The language of choice for AI-powered SaaS and data-heavy backends. Python boilerplates typically use Django or Flask, with Celery for background tasks and Stripe for billing.
Best NodeJS SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Backend
JavaScript runtime for building API-first backends. Node.js boilerplates pair with Express or Fastify on the server and any frontend framework of choice, making them suitable for microservices architectures.
Best Astro SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Frontend
Content-first framework that ships zero JavaScript by default. Astro boilerplates achieve near-perfect Core Web Vitals scores, making them ideal for the marketing and landing page layer of a SaaS product.
Best TypeScript SaaS Boilerplates
TypeScript · Cross-framework
TypeScript-first boilerplates provide end-to-end type safety from the database schema (Prisma/Drizzle) through to the API layer and frontend. Strongly recommended for any SaaS product expected to grow.
Best Supabase SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · Backend service
Open-source Firebase alternative on PostgreSQL. Supabase boilerplates give you a managed database, auth, realtime, and storage from a single platform — no backend server needed for most SaaS products.
Best Tailwind SaaS Boilerplates
CSS · Styling
The de facto CSS framework for SaaS UIs. Tailwind boilerplates include a complete design system, responsive layouts, dark mode, and often a component library like shadcn/ui or DaisyUI pre-integrated.
Best Prisma SaaS Boilerplates
JavaScript / TypeScript · ORM
The most popular TypeScript ORM. Prisma boilerplates provide auto-generated types for every database query, an intuitive schema language, and migration tooling that keeps your database and code in sync.
Choosing a Framework: Frequently Asked Questions
Which framework should I use for a SaaS boilerplate?
The right framework depends on your team's existing skills. If you know JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js is the safest default in 2026 — it has the largest ecosystem of SaaS boilerplates and the most active community. If you prefer PHP, Laravel is the mature, battle-tested choice. Python teams should look at Django. For mobile SaaS, Expo (React Native) is the standard starting point. The most important factor is choosing a framework your team already knows, since a boilerplate saves setup time but you still need to understand the code. Not sure which framework fits your project?

Is Next.js or Laravel better for building SaaS?
They target different ecosystems. Next.js is better if your team knows JavaScript/TypeScript and you want a modern full-stack setup with React. Laravel is better if your team knows PHP, you want a built-in admin panel, or you need multi-tenancy support out of the box via packages like Tenancy for Laravel. Both have excellent SaaS boilerplates available. The choice should be driven by your team's existing skills, not framework marketing.
What is the most popular SaaS boilerplate framework?
Next.js is the most popular framework for SaaS boilerplates in 2026, accounting for the majority of new SaaS starter kits. Its combination of React, server-side rendering, API routes, and seamless Vercel deployment has made it the default choice for indie hackers and startup teams. Laravel comes second in popularity, particularly among PHP developers and European startup teams.
Can I use a mobile framework for SaaS?
Yes. React Native and Expo boilerplates are specifically designed for subscription-based mobile SaaS apps. They include RevenueCat for in-app purchases (required by Apple and Google for subscriptions through their stores), Apple/Google sign-in, push notifications, and often a web dashboard built separately with Next.js or React.
Should I use a full-stack or separate frontend/backend boilerplate?
For most indie hackers and small teams, a full-stack boilerplate (Next.js, SvelteKit, Laravel, Django, Remix, Nuxt) is the better choice — everything lives in one repo, deployment is simpler, and you can ship faster. Separate frontend/backend architectures make sense when you need to scale teams independently, support multiple clients (web + mobile + API), or have specific performance requirements for your API layer.
Which framework is best for AI-powered SaaS products?
Python (Django or Flask) gives you access to the richest ecosystem of AI/ML libraries. For most AI SaaS products that use external APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), however, any full-stack JavaScript framework (Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix) works equally well since you're just making API calls. The Python advantage matters most when you need to run models locally, process data at scale, or use libraries like scikit-learn, PyTorch, or LangChain.
