Next.js Subscription Payments Starter

31SaaS feels like a project built by someone who actually ships products, not someone assembling a checklist of features. The whole thing runs on Next.js 14, and the structure is clean in a way that makes sense the moment you open the repo — the kind of layout you’d probably set up yourself after a few iterations, just without the wasted weekend. The authentication flow, Stripe setup, and email handling are already connected and working, not half-finished stubs. The UI is put together with shadcn and Tailwind, so it looks modern without being overdesigned, and it’s easy to extend without fighting the styling choices. What stands out is that you can start building real features almost immediately. There’s a proper dashboard, a place for marketing pages, a blog engine that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and small touches like sensible error handling and clean form patterns. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel — it’s just a solid, well-assembled foundation that saves you from the usual setup grind. If you want a boilerplate that stays out of your way and lets you move quickly without later regretting the shortcuts, 31SaaS is one of the more thoughtfully built options out there.

CodePilot is a paid SaaS‑boilerplate based on Next.js + Prisma + TypeScript. It aims to give you a full, ready‑to‑code foundation so you don’t have to build from zero: auth, payments, dashboards, email, blog/landing pages and more are already wired up. Out of the box you get a functional user dashboard and admin panel, auth support (with credentials, magic‑link or OAuth/social providers), Stripe‑based payments, email templates (via Resend), a landing page + blog + SEO content structure, and a prebuilt UI component library (with styling, animations and customization options) so you can ship quickly.

Dirstarter is a full-featured boilerplate built with Next.js (with TypeScript) designed for launching directory-style websites. It gives you a ready-made foundation: authentication and user management, admin panel, listing submission and management, payment integration via Stripe, and monetization options (premium listings, featured spots, ads, affiliate-links, etc.). Beyond that, Dirstarter includes SEO-friendly page structure, support for multiple languages (i18n), and built-in tools for content creation (including AI-powered content generation to help bootstrap listings and categories). On the technical side, Dirstarter leans on a modern, maintainable stack: Next.js, a modern ORM (e.g. Prisma), CSS via Tailwind CSS, and UI components from shadcn/ui / Radix UI which means you’ll get a responsive, customizable UI and a code structure that’s relatively straightforward to work with and extend. The value proposition of Dirstarter is that instead of spending weeks building the backbone of a directory site: user flows, payments, listings DB, admin UI, monetization logic, i18n, SEO - you get a working system out-of-the-box and can focus immediately on content, branding, and growth. For someone building a directory or listing-type website (local businesses, tools marketplace, niche listing directory, etc.), this can significantly reduce time to launch. However, adopting Dirstarter also means accepting its architecture and conventions. It’s opinionated: you're committing to the tech choices (Next.js + Prisma + Tailwind + the integrations Dirstarter bundles). If your project requires a drastically different backend setup, custom data models or unusual flows, you may spend extra effort altering or stripping parts you don’t need. Moreover, because it offers a lot of built-in features (payments, content generation, monetization, i18n, admin, etc.), you may end up with more “surface area” than needed which can complicate maintenance if you only need a simple directory.
