What Is Larafast?
Launch SaaS apps faster with Larafast, the #1 Laravel starter kit. Get a production-ready foundation including payments, admin dashboard, authentication, SEO, and blog features, powered by TALL or VILT stacks. Trusted by 340+ developers.
Larafast Tech Stack
Larafast uses PHP, Laravel, Tailwind and Vue. Larafast is currently the only kit in our catalog built on PHP.
What's Included in Larafast
Larafast lists 8 integrations: Auth, Admin Panel, AI, Stripe and Lemon Squeezy and 3 more. That is above the catalog average of 5 integrations per kit.
Larafast Pricing
Larafast starts at $169 and goes up to $199. That is above the catalog median of $149, so it needs to justify the premium through its feature set or the quality of its implementation. 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 Larafast
The honest answer depends on what you are building. Larafast makes sense if you are starting a new project on PHP and the included integrations match your requirements list. Since authentication and payments are both wired up, Larafast 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.
Verdict
On raw coverage Larafast does well: 8 integrations against a catalog average of 5, putting it among the top kit for PHP by that measure. At $169 the decision comes down to whether the included Auth, Admin Panel and AI 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.
Pros
- ✓ 8 integrations, above the catalog average of 5

Cons
- ✗ $169 is above the catalog median of $149
- ✗ Few comparable PHP kits exist if you outgrow it
