StackSeed.dev VS Makerkit.dev

StackSeed.dev's answer

Developers starting a new project — a SaaS, a directory, a landing page — who'd rather spend a few minutes filtering by stack and budget than an afternoon comparing options scattered across GitHub and blog posts.

Makerkit.dev's answer:

Indie Hackers and Companies who want to launch quickly, without compromising on quality.

StackSeed.dev's answer

Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19 and TypeScript on the frontend, styled with Tailwind CSS v4.

Makerkit.dev's answer:

Makerkit uses Next.js 15 (App Router), Supabase, React.js, Typescript and Stripe.

StackSeed.dev's answer

StackSeed is a curated directory of developer starter kits — filter by tech stack, category, price and payment provider to find the one that actually fits your project, instead of losing an afternoon scrolling GitHub. Every listing is upfront about whether it's open source, free, or paid.

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.

StackSeed.dev's answer

Filters that actually match how you'd search — by tech stack, category, price and payment provider — and pricing that's stated plainly, including whether something's open source, free, or paid. No account needed to browse.

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.

Started as a personal tool to stop re-doing the same research — comparing starter kits scattered across GitHub, Twitter and blog posts — every time a new project began.
