ShipFast vs IndieKit — Which One Makes More Sense for SaaS?

Hey Indie Hackers,
I’ve worked with both ShipFast and IndieKit while building SaaS projects, and here’s how they compare from my experience:

ShipFast

• Best for: Getting an MVP out the door quickly.
• Pros: Super fast setup (auth, payments, landing page). Great for validating ideas without overthinking.
• Cons: Doesn’t scale well. You’ll likely need to rewrite if your project grows.
• Price: Affordable for early-stage projects.

IndieKit

• Best for: Products you expect to scale. Comes with multi-tenancy, flexible payment integrations, admin tools, etc.
• Pros: Built with long-term growth in mind, so you avoid painful rewrites later.
• Cons: Might feel like overkill if you just want to test an MVP.
• Price: Higher, but makes sense if you’re aiming for something more serious.

Summary:

• ShipFast → speed and quick validation.
• IndieKit → scalability and growth from day one.

Curious if anyone else here has tried either of these — what’s been your experience?
