About
About SaaS Boilerplate
This enterprise-grade boilerplate comes packed with essential features including Clerk authentication for secure user management, multi-tenancy support for serving multiple organizations, role-based access control (RBAC) for granular permissions, internationalization (i18n) for global markets, and a stunning landing page template to convert visitors. The technical stack includes Drizzle ORM for type-safe database operations, Vitest and Playwright for comprehensive unit and end-to-end testing, Sentry for error tracking and monitoring, and a flexible architecture that supports rapid customization and scaling.
Pre-configured with development best practices like ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript strict mode, and automated CI/CD workflows, this boilerplate eliminates months of initial setup work. Perfect for startup founders, development agencies, and enterprise teams building B2B SaaS platforms, the template includes database migrations, email templates, billing integration hooks, analytics setup, and logging infrastructure, providing everything needed to launch a scalable SaaS product while maintaining code quality and developer experience throughout the development lifecycle.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with SaaS Boilerplate.
SaaS Boilerplate is a comprehensive, production-ready starter kit built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, designed to accelerate the development of full-stack SaaS applications. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
SaaS Boilerplate is made by Ixartz, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Ixartz has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags SaaS Boilerplate with Next.js, React, Tailwind, Drizzle ORM, Templates & Themes and Boilerplate and 1 more. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The SaaS Boilerplate page embeds its live demo from react-saas.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The SaaS Boilerplate listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/ixartz/SaaS-Boilerplate), then follow the README. The SaaS Boilerplate page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the SaaS Boilerplate repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. SaaS Boilerplate is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
SaaS Boilerplate is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The SaaS Boilerplate listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/ixartz/SaaS-Boilerplate), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on SaaS Boilerplate's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows SaaS Boilerplate's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. SaaS Boilerplate is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Ixartz supports SaaS Boilerplate, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, SaaS Boilerplate is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that SaaS Boilerplate uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up SaaS Boilerplate for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 14 other open source Templates & Themes templates like SaaS Boilerplate, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/templates-and-themes.
Ixartz has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
