Every "best SaaS boilerplate" list is a Next.js list with a Vue footnote. If you want Vue, you are choosing between three families that are not really comparable: Nuxt full-stack kits (JavaScript end to end), Vue on a non-JavaScript backend (Laravel, .NET, Go), and UI templates that look like kits and are not. We sell a kit in the second family (GoVueKit), so it is in the table under the same questions as everyone else, with links to each project's own page. The table Kit Family Backend Database Teams Billing i18n Licence / price supastarter for Nuxt Nuxt full-stack Nuxt 3 server + Hono API Prisma or Drizzle (PostgreSQL…) yes, orgs + seat billing Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Creem, Dodo yes, incl. emails commercial, from €299 NuxSaaS Nuxt full-stack Nuxt (v4-ready) PostgreSQL + Drizzle see repo Stripe / Polar see repo open source SupaNuxt SaaS Nuxt + BaaS Nuxt 3 + Supabase + tRPC Supabase (Prisma) yes Stripe — open source Nuxt UI SaaS template UI template none (pages only) none no no — free (Nuxt UI + Nuxt Content) Laravel + Inertia + Vue kits (e.g. Larafast VILT) Vue on PHP Laravel MySQL / PostgreSQL varies Stripe / Lemon Squeezy via Cashier varies commercial Brick Starter Vue on .NET ASP.NET Core SQL Server / PostgreSQL yes, multi-tenant Stripe see site commercial GoVueKit Vue on Go Go (chi, sqlc) PostgreSQL and SQLite yes, RBAC + row-level Stripe: subscriptions + one-time, idempotent webhooks yes, FR/EN UI + emails commercial, €199 one-time Cells report what each project advertises on its own pages at the time of writing; where a page did not say, the cell says so. Family one: Nuxt full-stack kits supastarter is the reference here and priced like it: Nuxt 3, better-auth (passwords, passkeys, magic links, OAuth, 2FA), Prisma or Drizzle, five payment providers, organizations with seat-based billing, internationalization down to the emails, an admin UI, S3 storage, background jobs through trigger.dev or QStash, Playwright tests, and serverless-friendly deployment. If your team is TypeScript end to end and you deploy on Vercel or a Node host, this is the most complete option in the Vue world. What you are buying is also what you are committing to: the Nuxt server, an external job runner, and a JavaScript runtime in production. NuxSaaS is the free alternative that has kept up: Nuxt with Better Auth, PostgreSQL through Drizzle, Stripe or Polar. It is the right first look if budget is the constraint; check organizations and admin against your needs before you assume they are there. SupaNuxt SaaS predates both and shows the 2023 shape of the market: Supabase for auth and data, tRPC, Prisma, teams and plans, an OpenAI helper. Fine to learn from; the Supabase dependency is a decision you make on day one and unmake with a rewrite. Family two: Vue on a backend that is not JavaScript This is the family for teams whose backend language is already chosen. The Vue app is a real SPA with its own build; the backend is whatever your team is good at. Laravel + Inertia + Vue is the largest branch. Inertia lets Laravel controllers render Vue pages without an API layer; Cashier handles Stripe. Several commercial kits ship a VILT flavour (Larafast is the best-known), and the Laravel ecosystem gives you queues, mail and Nova/Filament for admin. You get PHP hosting economics and a huge hiring pool; you run a PHP runtime, a Node build and, usually, Redis and a queue worker. .NET + Vue exists for shops that live in C#. Brick Starter ships one ASP.NET Core backend with multi-tenancy and Stripe, and a choice of frontends including Vue; evaluate it as you would any .NET template, with the licence terms in front of you. Go + Vue is the smallest branch, and it is where GoVueKit sits. The pitch is operational: vite build output is embedded in the Go binary with go:embed, the public pages are prerendered to static HTML at build time (canonical, hreflang, sitemap, no SSR server), and the result is one ~27 MB static file that runs on any VPS with no Node, no PHP, no runtime to patch. Inside: Vue 3 with TypeScript and the Composition API, Pinia, Vue Router, Tailwind, dark mode, FR/EN with a test that fails when the two catalogues drift, and a typed fetch client over a Go API built with chi and sqlc. The SaaS parts are the ones the Nuxt kits have — accounts with TOTP and OIDC, organizations with row-level tenancy, Stripe with idempotent webhooks, a durable email queue, an admin backoffice — with the difference that the whole thing is ~11 000 lines of Go you can read in an afternoon and runs on PostgreSQL or SQLite from the same generated queries. Family three: templates that are not kits The Nuxt UI SaaS template, the Vuexy and Vuestic admin themes, the Tailwind UI application shells: beautiful pages with no backend, no auth model, no billing, no tenancy. They are a design purchase. Buying one and believing you bought a SaaS foundation is the most common mistake on the Vue side of this market, because the screenshots look identical to the real thing. How to choose Do you want JavaScript in production? If yes, Nuxt kits are the natural home and supastarter is the safe choice. If no — because your backend team writes Go, PHP or C#, or because you want a single deployable artefact — the second family is the only one that fits, and the comparison becomes a backend comparison. Where will it run? Serverless and Vercel favour Nuxt. One VPS, an on-prem install at a customer, a European host with a data-residency clause: favour a binary or a PHP app you fully control. Who reads the code? Every kit above says "you own the code". Owning 40 000 lines of someone else's TypeScript across a monorepo is a different ownership from 11 000 lines of Go plus a Vue app you can grep end to end. Ask for the count. What is the licence's restriction clause? Seats, client work, and whether "lifetime" means the product's lifetime or the major version's. Try before you decide supastarter has a demo and a documentation site. NuxSaaS and SupaNuxt clone and run. GoVueKit runs its full stack — app, PostgreSQL, single sign-on, S3, a Stripe double and a mail inbox — from one file, no account, no licence: curl -fsSLO https://govuekit.dev/labs/docker-compose.yml docker compose up -d Then open the Vue source of whichever kit you liked and look for three things: how a page gets its data (typed client, tRPC, Inertia props), how a route decides you are allowed there (server-side, always), and how a missing translation is caught (a test, or a user).
