Thanks Arindam for sharing the list! I'd also recommend Stripe for managing subscriptions and customers. Stripe also has support for usage-based billing, which is essential for many SaaS products. It's really simple to use and you could integrate it with your authentication stack.
I wrote a DEV post about how we use Stripe to build our own customer management in <500 lines of TypeScript.
Really Great Addition Qian.
Stripe is pretty good, but It has started shutting down some accounts here in India. That's why I was a bit reluctant to add it to the list.
Your DevTo Post looks pretty cool, I will definitely check that out.
Got it! That's pretty sad that Stripe is shutting down some accounts 😢 Do you know any good alternatives that would work?
I was exploring an alternative: Razorpay.
I haven't dived deep into it, just started exploring it.
Vercel billing is unpredictable be careful guys.
Recently Cara app and other apps faced huge bills from Vercel.
Always set a spending limit on services if possible. Vercel also support this. Sadly not enabled by default
Great Suggestion!
Cloudflare can also be used
Thanks, yes Cloudflare is fast, far more secure and cost effective.
Yes, Recently deployed a demo app on Cloudflare,
The experience was pretty good.
My only concern is that it it might not support all the features provided by Next.js
Currently I'm exploring that, Probably write a short article around that as well.
v0 is indeed amazing. It really simplifies the whole workflow!
Also I've implemented Supabase + Permit in a sample project. It's pretty cool.
Bro do you have a Github for your Project ?
If you're looking for Permit + Supabase Example

I've been searching for a tool like Permit.io — what a great find! Maybe I won't need to build another authorization layer ever again :-)
For developers looking to streamline their workflow, Webacus.dev is another fantastic tool worth checking out. It combines multiple operations into a single interface, making it easier to handle various tasks efficiently.
Yes, Permit really Simplifies the Authorization process.
Also thanks for sharing about Webacus, I'll explore it!
Hey guys I just built a code starter for react vite user and tailwindcss
📍It will automatically provide the folder/starter code ✅✅
📦Npx create-vite-react-tailwind
Pretty cool, I'll give it a try!
You wouldn't regret it
Great list Arindam. I'm a former dev (now focused on business side) looking for some dev help - superstars only - to help launch a new company. Even open to adding a tech co-founder to the initial team, as mine has to drop out for medical reasons. Fully expect to get into one of the more well-known accelerators and get funding early 2025. Let me know if you have good suggestions. ng@sociableos.com
You also need VideoFeedbackr for efficient documentation!
Thanks for Sharing this Martin,
Haven't heard about it. I mostly used Docusaurus and Mintlify for Docs. I'll give it a try.
It's not 'conventional' but would still love to hear what you think! :)
Definitely!
I'll let you know!
Thank you Arindam! :))
I found this post incredibly insightful, especially emphasizing the essential tools for launching a SaaS product. One aspect that I believe is crucial yet often overlooked is the role of a SaaS SEO firm. In today’s competitive landscape, solid SEO is vital for visibility and attracting the right audience. A dedicated SEO team can help optimize content, enhance organic search rankings, and drive traffic, ensuring your product reaches potential users effectively.
Additionally, integrating SEO from the start can save time and resources. It’s not just about getting found; it’s about being found by the right customers actively searching for solutions like yours. Professional SEO support can set your SaaS venture apart and lay a strong foundation for growth.
Great point Jacob.
SEO is really crucial. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. You can add `Strapi Headless CMS’ to manager your content easily.
Useful article. As well Saas topic. So i can easily embed softwares like Zapier ?
Yes, You can use that,
TBH, I haven't used Zapier a lot, but it should work!
Right.
I made a post about some AI tools I use as a Startup Founder and Software Engineer, maybe this could be interesting to some people as well?

Thanks for sharing, I'll give it a read.
ShadCN has good design intentions but I do not trust Vercel. Do you have any other suggestions or advice? Been feeling kind of stuck lately.
For Deployment You can try Cloudflare. Next.js works well with it.
I made a demo project and deployed it in Cloudflare, It was pretty straightforward.

To build your first SaaS, you'll need 8 essential tools: a code editor, cloud platform, database, API manager, payment gateway, analytics, customer support system, and version control. Just like in CarX Street Drive, having the right tools lets you accelerate performance and navigate challenges smoothly, ensuring success in fast-paced environments.
Absolutely!
Great article I'd like to pitch a couple more products that I actively use in my startup:
Thank you very for sharing. When building a saas is very important to use the right tools for the job in order to finish tasks fast, and avoid to re invent the wheel, a solo developer or a small team should invest their time ( their most valuable asset ) with feature that can create value, impact and revenue.
Vercel está bien, pero el inicio de sesión está bloqueado para algunos países como Cuba (de donde soy). En reemplazo de v0, utilizo bolt.new de la gente de StackBlitz, ya que si permite el inicio de sesión desde mi país al menos.
