Laravel SaaS Starter Kits: Fastest Way to Build a Subscription App

Laravel is the most popular PHP framework and has a rich ecosystem for SaaS: Cashier for Stripe billing, Jetstream for authentication, and a thriving marketplace of starter kits. Here's how to leverage it.

Livewire vs Inertia.js

FactorLivewireInertia.js
Frontend languagePHP + BladeVue.js or React
InteractivityServer-driven (AJAX under the hood)SPA-like (client-side routing)
Learning curveLow (stay in PHP)Medium (learn Vue/React)
PerformanceGood (fewer JS bundles)Good (SPA navigation)
Best forCRUD apps, admin panelsInteractive UIs, complex forms

For SaaS MVP: Livewire is faster to build with if you're a PHP developer. Inertia + Vue/React gives a better end-user experience for interactive products.


What a Laravel SaaS Starter Kit Should Include

  • Authentication (Jetstream or Breeze with email verification)
  • Laravel Cashier configured (subscriptions, webhooks, Customer Portal)
  • Team/organization accounts with roles
  • Dashboard layout with responsive sidebar
  • Admin panel (Filament or custom)
  • Email templates (welcome, password reset, payment)
  • Background job processing configured
  • Deployment configuration (Forge or Docker)

Laravel's SaaS Advantages

  • Laravel Cashier — First-party Stripe integration, handles subscriptions, invoices, trials, and webhooks out of the box
  • Eloquent ORM — Elegant database interactions with relationships
  • Queues — Built-in background job processing for emails, webhooks, reports
  • Notifications — Multi-channel (email, SMS, Slack) notification system
  • Filament — Full admin panel framework that generates CRUD interfaces from models
