> **Which is better: supastack or SaaSykit?**
> It depends on your stack. SaaSykit is the stronger pick if you build on Laravel and PHP: a mature kit with a Filament admin panel, MRR and churn metrics, five payment providers, a tenancy edition with seat billing, and one-command Forge deployment. supastack fits TypeScript teams: Next.js or TanStack Start plus Expo mobile and Tauri desktop on Better Auth and Drizzle, eight billing providers, workspace API keys, signed webhooks, an AI router with BYOK budgets and 144 test files. Choose by ecosystem first, then by how many surfaces the product needs.

## TL;DR

This is really a stack decision. SaaSykit is one of the most complete Laravel starters: subscriptions, a Filament admin with MRR and churn metrics, announcements, a built-in roadmap and a tenancy edition for teams. supastack covers the same SaaS plumbing in TypeScript, then adds mobile, desktop and a developer platform.

- Pick SaaSykit if your team builds on Laravel and PHP, wants a Filament admin with SaaS metrics, a customer-facing roadmap feature, or one-command deployment through Laravel Forge.
- Pick supastack if you work in TypeScript, need mobile or desktop clients, customer-facing API keys and webhooks, BYOK AI budgets, or eight billing providers plus RevenueCat.

## Where supastack is stronger

TypeScript end to end, one language across UI, API, tests and infrastructure code, shared with mobile and desktop clients; SaaSykit splits between PHP server code and JavaScript front-end pieces.

Clients beyond the web, an Expo iOS/Android app and a signed Tauri desktop app share the same backend.

A developer platform, workspace API keys, signed outbound webhooks, an audit log and OpenAPI for customer integrations.

AI as a product feature, an adapter router with encrypted per-workspace BYOK keys and usage budgets; SaaSykit ships no AI module.

Modern auth depth, Better Auth with passkeys, magic links, OTP and admin impersonation, plus 144 test files.


## Where SaaSykit is stronger

The Laravel ecosystem, Eloquent, queues, Horizon, Forge, and two decades of packages and developers your team may already know.

A Filament admin with SaaS metrics, MRR, churn and ARPU dashboards plus user, role and plan management out of the box.

Built-in growth features, a customer-facing roadmap with voting and site-wide announcements.

Two editions for the tenancy split, buy the single-tenant kit now, add the Tenancy repo when companies become customers.


## Who should pick which

| You are building | Pick |
|---|---|
| SaaS on the Laravel/PHP ecosystem | SaaSykit |
| Product that wants a Filament admin with SaaS metrics | SaaSykit |
| Single-tenant product now, tenancy later | SaaSykit |
| TypeScript product across web, mobile and desktop | supastack |
| API-first product with customer webhooks | supastack |
| AI product needing BYOK budgets | supastack |


## Verdict

If your team thinks in Laravel, SaaSykit is genuinely one of the best options in its ecosystem, and the Tenancy edition covers B2B basics. If you are stack-agnostic or already on TypeScript, supastack gives you more surface area and a deeper platform for similar money.
