Welcome to this useSAASkit review.
Today we're discovering useSAASkit, a Next.js Supabase SaaS Template to build SaaS applications quickly and efficiently. useSAASkit offers many essential features that we'll explore in this review.
Let's dive in!
useSAASkit offers three different SaaS templates:
We'll be testing the SaaS Template, which gives access to all features except those related to AI (AI Chat and AI PDF Reader). We'll be following their documentation to create our first SaaS π
I think it's important to talk about the documentation first. For me, this is the foundation of an interesting boilerplate: the more use cases and needs it covers, the easier it will be to use and adapt to your project.
And I must say that useSAASkit's documentation is very comprehensive. I'll go even further: I think it's the most thorough documentation I've seen in a boilerplate. It covers all aspects of using the template, from installation to customization through deployment. It also offers many guides for all features.
This is a major plus for useSAASkit, and for me, it's its first quality criterion.
Before starting, you need to have:
Once these steps are completed, all that's left is to configure your environment variables and launch the application. An /api/sync
endpoint is available to synchronize your Stripe data.
After installation, we discover a well-structured project with all the essential features of a modern SaaS.
The first pleasant surprise comes from Supabase: after migration, all necessary tables are created and structured. The database includes everything you need: users, organizations, teams, subscriptions, etc.
The authentication system is flexible and robust. Users can connect via:
When logging in for the first time, the user is guided through a customizable onboarding process. This is an important detail that shows the attention paid to user experience.
The dashboard is intuitive and well-organized. It offers a clear view of the main features and allows easy navigation between different sections. It offers a demo based on tasks: you can complete them, delete them, reorganize them, etc. Useful as a first feature, it gives you an idea of what you can do with the template.
Team management is well thought out. You can:
You'll also find an API key management system (for making a public API!) and settings for your user and organization.
I also activated super admin mode for my user, which allows me to access a specific dashboard where I can manage all users and organizations in my application!
The template pays special attention to SEO, with a complete and customizable configuration:
client.config.ts
file, allowing easy management of:For more advanced needs, useSAASkit offers:
The code is organized clearly and logically. Each feature has its own folder, making navigation and maintenance easier. The use of TypeScript ensures type-safe code and facilitates development.
useSAASkit uses shadcn/ui, a collection of reusable and customizable React components. This means you have access to:
useSAASkit's architecture is modular and structured around features: each one is an independent module.
This is very practical if you only need certain features, or if you want to add your own. You can easily disable or enable modules, or add new ones.
The template is designed to be easily customizable:
Finishing this useSAASkit review, one thing is clear: we've found the rare gem of SaaS boilerplates π―
What impresses the most is the perfect balance found by useSAASkit. Where some boilerplates are either too complex and over-engineered, or too basic, useSAASkit finds the sweet spot. It offers all the essential features of a modern SaaS without becoming a monster impossible to maintain or customize.
The template's modularity is remarkable: you can easily add or remove features according to your needs. Whether you need a waitlist, a public API, or a complex team system, everything is there, ready to use and well documented. I emphasize this last point again because it makes all the difference: the documentation is perfect.
If you're looking for a solid foundation to launch your next SaaS, useSAASkit is probably what you need. It's the kind of boilerplate that saves you weeks of development while remaining flexible and maintainable. Hats off to the creators! π©
