Open SaaS is a full featured SaaS template built on Wasp, covering auth, Stripe or Lemon Squeezy payments, an admin dashboard, a blog, email and analytics. It is the most complete free option here, and the trade is that it is built on a framework rather than on plain React.

## What complete actually means here

The admin dashboard and analytics are the parts nobody builds until they urgently need them. Having them present, working and readable on day one is a genuine head start.

Two payment providers rather than one also matters. Lemon Squeezy acts as a merchant of record, which handles sales tax in places where doing it yourself is a serious undertaking.

## The framework question

Wasp is a full stack framework with its own configuration language that compiles to React and Node. That buys a lot of generated plumbing and it means learning something that is not transferable to your next project.

Judge it on that alone. If you are happy inside a framework, this is the most complete free kit available. If you want plain React and Node, pick something else rather than fighting the abstraction.

## Reach for it when

- you want an admin dashboard and analytics without building them
- you need a merchant of record option for sales tax
- you are comfortable working inside a framework

## Watch out for

- Wasp is another framework to learn, with its own configuration language
- the abstraction is helpful until you need something it did not anticipate
- a smaller ecosystem than plain Next.js, so fewer existing answers

## Get started

Scaffold:

```sh
wasp new -t saas
```
