Why Switch from SlimSaaS?
The usual reasons people look past SlimSaaS: the price ($169) doesn't fit the budget, the stack doesn't match what they already know, or a specific integration they need is missing. All three are legitimate. A boilerplate only saves time when its decisions match your requirements, and SlimSaaS's decisions won't match everyone's.
