vs ShipFast

$199

ShipFast is the brand leader -- great for fast Twitter indie hackers, weaker on architecture (uses Mongoose, single-file modules). We're free at feature parity, and Pro adds the Claude Code layer ShipFast has no answer to.

vs MakerKit

$299–$599

MakerKit is the technical standard -- modular, well-documented, swap-in Supabase/Drizzle/Prisma. Stronger architecture than ShipFast. Our differentiator: same architecture quality, free at the feature layer, and Claude Code-native instead of generic AI mentions.
