Larafast
Laravel and Vue with an admin panel and AI features
Larafast is the most established Laravel starter kit in this catalogue, pairing Laravel and Vue with Tailwind, and it comes with the thing Next.js kits usually charge extra for.
What you get
- An admin panel included, standard on the Laravel side and an upsell on the JavaScript side
- Stripe and Lemon Squeezy billing
- AI features in the listed set
- Components and SEO configuration
Why Laravel is not a downgrade
Cashier wraps subscriptions, invoices and webhook handling with far less custom code than the JavaScript equivalents, and webhooks are where the weeks disappear: proration, failed payments, plan changes, cancellation flows. Verify the kit uses Cashier rather than a hand-rolled integration, because that is the difference between a solved problem and a future one.
The trade-off
No email in the listed features, which most of this catalogue includes. And the Laravel market is smaller, so there are fewer public answers when something breaks at 2am.
Buy it if
You write PHP and have no intention of learning Next.js to get a starting point. That is a good reason, not a compromise.
