Electrik is a source-available Laravel starter kit that takes out the pain of building a SaaS application from scratch.
Electrik provides the core building blocks required by most SaaS products — including recurring billing via Laravel Cashier, team support, roles and permissions, and more — so you can focus on your product instead of boilerplate.
There are many excellent Laravel SaaS starter kits available today.
Electrik exists to offer a full-featured, accessible foundation for developers who want to learn, experiment, and build real SaaS products without being forced into early paywalls or artificially limited feature sets.
The Community Edition includes the complete feature set, making it suitable for:
- Indie hackers and solo developers
- Learning and experimentation
- Open-source projects
- Pre-revenue SaaS ideas
For companies and professional use, Electrik offers a clear commercial license to support long-term maintenance and development.
Electrik follows a plug-and-build approach. Out of the box, it supports:
- User profiles
- Roles and permissions
- Notifications
- Teams
- Subscription billing (currently optimized for India; multi-country support is in progress)
- Zero-config installation
- Tailwind-based dashboard
- And more
Electrik provides a comparable foundation to many popular SaaS starter kits:

| Devdojo Wave | $99 / year |
| saasstarterkit.app | $449 / one-time |
