Next.js SaaS Starter (Vercel)
Open SourceThe official open-source SaaS starter from the Next.js team — App Router, Postgres with Drizzle ORM, Stripe checkout and customer portal, JWT auth with role-based access, teams with invitations, and shadcn/ui components.
Why we recommend Next.js SaaS Starter (Vercel)
This is the SaaS starter maintained under the Next.js GitHub org itself, which gives it a property no third-party kit can match: it demonstrates how the framework's authors intend the App Router to be used for a real product — server actions for mutations, streaming-friendly layouts, JWT session cookies, and a minimal dependency list (Drizzle, Stripe, shadcn/ui and little else). It implements the unglamorous core correctly: Stripe checkout + customer portal + webhook sync, team accounts with invitations and roles, and activity logging. As a learning artifact and a base to extend, it's the highest-signal free option in the Next.js world.
Best use cases
Best for: developers who want an official-quality reference for App Router + Stripe patterns, teams that prefer building UP from a minimal, auditable core instead of deleting half a mega-kit, and anyone deploying on Vercel + a serverless Postgres.
Honest limitations
Not for: founders expecting a finished product shell — there's no marketing site polish, no email infrastructure, no i18n, no admin panel; it's deliberately minimal. Being an example repo, updates track framework releases rather than a product roadmap, and you should expect to own the code quickly.
