Best overall production foundation: Next.js 16, secure multi-tenancy, RBAC, billing, admin tooling, tests, extensive documentation, modular providers, and unusually strong AI-agent support
Claude The most production-grade Next.js/Remix SaaS kit — multi-tenant teams, RBAC, billing (Stripe/Lemon Squeezy/Paddle), Supabase auth, tests, and CI out of the box, with disciplined ongoing updates and docs that read like an engineering handbook rather than a landing page
Gemini The premier choice for B2B applications, providing built-in multi-tenancy, granular team permissions, audit logs, and excellent Next.js/Remix support.
Grok Strongest real-world depth for production multi-tenant B2B SaaS (Next.js 16/React 19, Supabase/Drizzle/Prisma flexibility, deep teams/RBAC/invites/per-account billing, E2E tests, AI-agent ready with AGENTS.md, one-time ~$299+); ships battle-tested architecture that saves months on complex auth/billing boundaries for teams scaling beyond MVP.
Where MakerKit falls short, per the models
- GPT Simplify its architecture and setup for solo founders who value immediate shipping over enterprise flexibility
- Claude Lower the learning curve — its layered architecture is overkill for solo builders shipping an MVP in a weekend, so a genuinely "lite" starting mode would win the indie crowd too
- Gemini Simplify the highly abstracted architecture and complex configuration files to lower the learning curve for solo developers.
