KMPShip Review: What You Get and What You Don't (2026)
This page summarises what we know about KMPShip: the stack it uses, the 19 integrations it ships with, how its price sits against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
Verdict
On raw coverage KMPShip does well: 19 integrations against a catalog average of 7, putting it among the top kit for Compose Multiplatform by that measure. At $109 the decision comes down to whether the included Analytics, Auth and CI/CD map onto what your project actually needs. If they do, the price is a rounding error against the build time. If they don't, no boilerplate is a good deal.

KMPShip Pricing
KMPShip starts at $109 and goes up to $399. That sits below the catalog median of $147. One-time pricing for a codebase is hard to evaluate in the abstract; the relevant comparison is your own hourly cost for the setup work it replaces.
Who Should Use KMPShip
Fit depends on your project more than on the kit itself. KMPShip makes sense if you are starting a new project on Compose Multiplatform and the included integrations match your requirements list. Since authentication and payments are both wired up, KMPShip covers the two integrations that consume the most setup time in a typical SaaS build. Skip it if you want full control over every dependency choice; a boilerplate is by definition a set of decisions someone else made for you.
