Next.js Boilerplates Are Expensive: Meet NextUpKit, a $20 Alternative

If you’ve ever searched for a Next.js boilerplate to kickstart your projects, you’ve probably come across starter kits like ShipFast, Supastarter, or Shipped.club. They’re great products—but they come with a price tag of $200–$300 (and sometimes even more).

As a solo developer, I know how tough it can be to justify those costs, especially if you’re just starting out, working on a side project, or building your first SaaS. That’s why I created NextUpKit: a simple, no-frills, affordable alternative that costs just $20 for lifetime access.


Why NextUpKit?

NextUpKit is designed to give you everything you need to ship faster—without breaking the bank:

  • Pre-built Components: Save time with beautiful ready-to-use UI components built with Tailwind CSS and ShadCN UI.
  • Authentication: Secure user logins with NextAuth.
  • Payments: Hassle-free LemonSqueezy integration to handle transactions.
  • Analytics: Track user behavior with Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
  • Database Ready: Integrated with MongoDB for scalable data management.
  • Responsive Design: Built-in dark and light mode for modern user experiences.

And so much more!

At 90% less cost, NextUpKit provides essential features for building and launching SaaS applications or any project requiring a solid Next.js foundation.


Who Is NextUpKit For?

  • Indie Developers: Focus on building your product without spending hundreds upfront.
  • Freelancers: Save time and offer your clients a polished starting point.
  • Beginner Devs: Learn and build faster with a simple, structured kit.
