Makerkit.dev's answer

Makerkit stands out by offering a truly modular architecture built with Turborepo, where core features like auth, billing, and notifications live in their own packages for better maintainability.

While most starters lock you into specific patterns or providers, Makerkit gives you flexibility with a multi-account system supporting both B2B and B2C scenarios, provider-agnostic billing, and edge-ready deployment options.

Beyond the basics, it includes production-ready features like multi-factor auth, real-time notifications, and team permissions - all built with Supabase, TypeScript, React Query, and modern tooling to make development a genuine pleasure.

OpenVTS.io's answer:

Open VTS is a self-hosted vehicle tracking platform designed for organizations that want complete ownership of their GPS tracking infrastructure. Unlike many tracking platforms that operate as SaaS services, Open VTS allows businesses to deploy the software on their own servers, maintain full control of their data, customize the platform according to their requirements, and avoid recurring per-vehicle subscription fees. It combines enterprise-grade fleet tracking capabilities with a simplified deployment experience, making advanced GPS tracking more accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Makerkit.dev's answer

While other starters give you basic auth and a dashboard, Makerkit provides a genuinely modular foundation with the real features SaaS products need - like multi-factor auth, team permissions, real-time notifications, and provider-agnostic billing, all organized in clean, maintainable packages using Turborepo.

You get a first-class developer experience with TypeScript, React Query, and modern tooling, plus the flexibility to support both B2B and B2C scenarios, different payment providers, and edge deployment options.

Best of all, Makerkit is actively maintained with regular updates and responsive support, so you're building on a foundation that grows with your needs rather than painting yourself into a corner.

OpenVTS.io's answer:

Businesses choose Open VTS when they want greater control, flexibility, and long-term cost efficiency.

Key advantages include:

Self-hosted deployment with full data ownership. No dependency on third-party SaaS providers. Reduced long-term operational costs compared to per-vehicle subscription models. Extensive customization and integration capabilities. Ability to deploy on private infrastructure for enhanced security and compliance. Modern fleet management, tracking, monitoring, and reporting capabilities. Scalability for both small fleets and large enterprise deployments.

Open VTS is particularly attractive to organizations that value ownership, security, and independence from vendor lock-in.

OpenVTS.io's answer:

Open VTS was created from a simple belief: businesses should own and control the technology that powers their operations.

Many fleet operators and GPS tracking providers rely on platforms that limit customization, create vendor dependency, and require ongoing subscription costs. Open VTS was built to offer an alternative—a platform that gives organizations complete ownership of their vehicle tracking infrastructure.

The vision behind Open VTS is to make enterprise-grade GPS tracking accessible, customizable, and deployable by organizations that want freedom, security, and long-term control over their fleet technology.

OpenVTS.io's answer:

Open VTS does not publicly publish a verified list of its largest customers.

If customer references become publicly available, they should be listed here. Until then, it is best not to claim specific organizations as customers without explicit public permission or published case studies.

No publicly disclosed enterprise customer list is currently available.
