If I could give one recommendation here: fully document the paid features. You have zero docs that I could find on how you do authentication, authorization, subscriptions, or multi-tenancy. These are going to be the main reasons for people to purchase your boilerplate, yet there's no code examples to be found. I don't want to read how to build yet another todo app. I want to read about how to use your paid features. The todo app doesn't touch on any of your paid features.

As a buyer, I don't want to know what the definition of authentication is. I know what it is. I want to see how easy your implementation is to use vs the myriad of authz/authn packages on npm so that I can determine if your boilerplate will save me time.

Also, volca-core needs a LICENSE. :)

Those pricing page bullets should be improved to show the benefits / features. For a tech audience commodity product (lots of competition, audience in the know and knows what they want) just do the features I would say.

Talk about tax when we get to the checkout or as a small text under the price.

Thanks for the feedback! Super valuable. We will add documentation about how the features work with some code examples.

Thanks for the feedback! So maybe something like a table clearly explaining the features included in each package?
