ShipFast

ShipFast is a Next.js boilerplate codebase built to help you launch a web app—such as a SaaS or AI tool—faster by bundling common startup essentials. Instead of wiring up everything from scratch, you get a ready-to-use foundation with the pieces you need to start taking users, charging for access, and shipping content.

The boilerplate includes login, a payment system, and email functionality for transactional messages. It also covers database support, SEO & blog foundations, and reusable UI components and animations so you can build pages like pricing, FAQ, and blog content quickly. You can use the provided documentation to set up your app from scratch, write conversion-oriented copy, and ship with less integration work.

ShipFast is designed for builders who want to get to a working product quickly—especially if you’re repeatedly facing setup tasks like email configuration, Stripe webhook handling, protected API routes, and SEO tag wiring. It’s also built to work well with AI code editors by giving your editor full codebase context, so you can generate features using familiar naming conventions and structure.

Pricing is available in three plans: Starter for $199 (formerly $299), All-in for $249 (formerly $349), and a bundled option “ShipFast + CodeFast” for $299 (formerly $648). Each plan includes lifetime updates, and there are mentions of a $100 discount for the first 8,450 customers.

What does ShipFast help me launch?

ShipFast is a Next.js boilerplate you can use to launch a SaaS, AI tool, or other web app. It includes the core building blocks like login, payments, transactional emails, a database setup, and SEO & blog foundations.

What’s included in the ShipFast starter code?

You get a Next.js starter with boilerplate for running an online business: a payment system, database, login, a blog, UI components, and more. You also get documentation to help you set up from scratch and ship quickly.

Does it support AI code editors?

Yes—ShipFast is built for AI-assisted building. It provides a complete codebase so your AI code editor has the context to build features in seconds, following the codebase’s file structure and best practices.

Which plan should I choose?

Choose based on what you need: Starter ($199) for the core boilerplate plus SEO/blog, emails, payments, and database options; All-in ($249) for the same core set plus community and leaderboards; or the bundled “ShipFast + CodeFast” option ($299) if you want CodeFast as well.

Can I use a different tech stack than the defaults?

Yes, as long as you’re comfortable with React and Next.js. You can swap libraries—for example using SendGrid instead of Mailgun, LemonSqueezy instead of Stripe, or Postgres instead of MongoDB.

How do the ShipFast Leaderboards work?

The Leaderboards showcase startups ranked by revenue (verified by Stripe). They’re also used to give visibility to startups by featuring them on a page entrepreneurs visit each month.
