Everything you need to launch a SaaS, in one place.

Motoko Base is a production-ready SaaS starter for developers who want to ship their own product faster.

It gives you a complete foundation with authentication, database, payments, email, storage, analytics, monitoring and AI-ready infrastructure — so you can focus on building your actual product instead of assembling the same stack from scratch.

Not exactly.

Motoko Base is a complete SaaS foundation with real integrations and working application infrastructure. It includes authentication, protected routes, database operations, billing, transactional email, file storage, analytics, monitoring and more.

It also includes several demo features that show how the architecture can be extended and reused in your own product.

You can use Motoko Base to build unlimited personal and commercial projects.

You can modify the source, remove features, add your own functionality and use it as the foundation for your SaaS products.

You cannot redistribute or resell Motoko Base itself, or publish the source as another template or boilerplate.

See the Terms & Conditions for the full license.

You get access to the complete Motoko Base source repository and a downloadable ZIP.

The project includes the full application foundation, demos, integrations, documentation and development configuration.

Your purchase also includes lifetime updates released for Motoko Base.

Motoko Base currently uses Polar (opens in a new tab) for payments because it provides checkout, subscriptions, customer management, webhooks and merchant-of-record capabilities in one service.

This keeps the billing infrastructure simple while still covering everything a SaaS product needs.

The billing layer is intentionally isolated from the rest of the application, so switching to another provider such as Stripe later is possible without rewriting your entire app.

Yes.

Motoko Base currently ships with Polar (opens in a new tab), but the rest of the application is not tightly coupled to Polar.

The billing integration is isolated behind a dedicated billing layer, so you can replace Polar with Stripe or another provider when needed.

You will need to implement the provider-specific checkout and webhook logic for the service you choose.

Motoko Base uses the Vercel AI SDK (opens in a new tab), which supports a wide range of AI providers and models.

This lets you integrate providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek and others without building a completely different architecture for each one.

The starter also includes an AI Email demo showing how AI functionality can be integrated into a real application.

Motoko Base is actively developed and will receive updates as the stack evolves.

Updates can include dependency upgrades, security improvements, new integrations, improvements to the existing architecture and new features.

Your purchase includes lifetime updates, so you don't need to buy each new version separately.

Motoko Base is a standard Next.js (opens in a new tab) application, so you can deploy it on platforms that support Next.js.

You can use Vercel, Cloudflare, Railway or your preferred infrastructure. The database, storage, email, analytics and other services are configured independently through environment variables.

The documentation includes the required environment variables and setup instructions.

Yes.

You can explore the live demo to see the application, authentication, dashboard, billing, settings and included demo features in action.

You can also check the documentation to understand the project structure, technology stack and how the different integrations work.

Motoko Base Core is the lean foundation at $99. It includes authentication, payments, database, email, storage, documentation, UI components, and lifetime updates — delivered as a downloadable ZIP without GitHub repository access.

Motoko Base (Full) includes everything in Core plus PostHog analytics, Sentry monitoring, the Vercel AI SDK, demo dashboard features, internationalization, the AI development workflow, and GitHub repository access.

If you want the complete production stack and reference demos out of the box, choose Full. If you prefer a cleaner codebase without observability, AI, or demo UI, Core is the better fit.
