SaaS boilerplates let you skip rebuilding auth, billing, dashboards, and other “table stakes” features.

Payment systems (webhooks, retries, subscription states) are more complex than they look — starter kits reduce mistakes.

Built-in auth + security patterns help avoid common early vulnerabilities.

You ship faster, get user feedback earlier, and focus on your core differentiation.

Good boilerplates also include SEO/content setup, which helps with early distribution.

Core idea: Time spent rebuilding infrastructure is time not spent validating your product.
