MVP Super Template vs Vercel’s nextjs/saas-starter
The nextjs/saas-starter repository is free, MIT licensed and a good way to learn the pieces: Postgres with Drizzle, Stripe, email and password with JWT cookies, teams with Owner and Member roles and an activity log. It is deliberately minimal. MVP Super Template is the paid step up when you need Better Auth, organizations with invitations, a superadmin panel, tenancy modes, outbound webhooks and a tested, reviewed codebase.
