There are many starter kits on the market right now.
I'm looking for an affordable starter kit (<$200) that allows me to validate many product ideas quickly.

#3The standard answer is "whichever one uses the tech stack you already know".
If you don't already know a tech stack, just pick one and learn it. Then you do know one and can re-use it as you wish.
But "best" is such a subjective term, it always depends on what you really need. Better to pick one and run than get caught in analysis paralysis.

JavaScript stack, both frontend and backend.
For the characteristics I described, validate a product quickly, I don't need a spaceship SaaS boilerplate worth $699.
Do you know any?

#6This question has come up many times (here's one thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30807759)
Like others have said, pick the tech you want to use first, then find a good one that uses that tech! I would look for reviews, a history of updates, and a founder who knows their stuff.
There's many directories listing them - probably the most comprehensive one is here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates
Good luck!

#8If you are working with or building an API, Treblle has a really good free tier, plus completely free apps (no login required) - API Insights and Aspen API testing.

Thanks, it looks great, even tho a bit overkill to validate some SaaS product ideas.
I'll consider it in the future, thanks!
