SaaSykit is a SaaS starter kit, often called a boilerplate, built on Laravel. It gives developers the parts every SaaS needs but nobody wants to build from scratch: subscription billing, authentication, user management, an admin panel, emails, a blog and SaaS metrics. You buy it once and use it as the foundation for your own products, so you can spend your time on the features that make your product different.

What you get
SaaSykit includes subscription and one-time purchase handling, payment integrations with Stripe, Paddle and Lemon Squeezy, authentication with social login, roles and permissions, a FilamentPHP admin panel, transactional emails, a blog, and built-in SaaS metrics such as recurring revenue and churn. A separate Tenancy version adds team accounts, seat-based billing and data separation between tenants. You get the full source code through a private repository.
Pricing
SaaSykit is sold as a one-time purchase with updates, usable for unlimited projects. Comparison sites have listed different prices for the standard version during 2026, so check the current price and what’s included on its site, and look out for seasonal discounts.
Why a boilerplate helps a side hustle
Billing, webhooks, authentication and permissions are where bugs cost real money, and they take weeks to build properly. A tested foundation lets a solo founder launch a micro SaaS in days, test demand and either grow it or move on. It’s especially useful if you plan to build several small products, since one licence covers them all.
Built for AI-assisted coding
SaaSykit now positions itself for building with AI coding tools: the boilerplate includes project guidelines and conventions that help an AI assistant write features on top of the existing structure, rather than generating billing and auth code from scratch.
What it doesn’t do
A boilerplate doesn’t give you a product idea, customers or marketing. You still need Laravel skills to customise it, host it and maintain it. If you don’t know Laravel, a boilerplate in a framework you already use is a better choice than learning a new stack for one.
Getting started
Check that your idea fits a standard SaaS structure, buy the version you need, fork the repository and set up payments in test mode. Build the core feature first, then launch to a small audience and iterate.
Boilerplate vs building from scratch
Building billing, auth and admin yourself gives you total control, but it can take weeks before you write a single line of your real product. A boilerplate trades a little flexibility for speed and tested code. For most side hustles, speed to a first paying customer matters more than custom infrastructure.
Hosting and running costs
You host SaaSykit yourself, so budget for a server, a database, email sending and backups. Tools such as Laravel Forge or PHP Deployer simplify deployment. Keep running costs low until the product has paying users.
Licences and updates
The licence covers your own projects. Updates arrive through the private repository, so merge them carefully into customised code.
Owen’s take
For Laravel developers, SaaSykit removes the boring, risky parts of building a SaaS for a one-time price. It’s a tool, not a business, but it shortens the path from idea to paying customers. I’d only buy it if you already know Laravel.
Who it suits
It suits Laravel developers and technical founders building one or several SaaS products. It suits less well non-developers, or developers who work in other frameworks.
