@santino It’s a starter kit for a subscription-based SaaS.

So, you can either spend the time upfront building a subscription workflow with Cashier, team management, profile and settings management, etc. Or, you can pay $99 and have that instantly, and ready to build your actual project instead of its foundation.

I don’t know your hourly rate, but it would take way more than 99 dollars’ worth of my time to re-build what Spark has from scratch.

thanks, Mr. @martinbean , much more clear, please I want to ask for Nova, Works as a CRUD service for my models Can you let me know if you have used it, if yes do you recommend it more than BackPack? am trying to figure out the best start for my project with the best tools on my hand

I really appreciate it, I will take very seriously your advice Regards Santino

@santino I’ve never used Backpack, and have explored Nova’s code but not used that in a project.

I don’t know anything about your project. You will be in the best position to evaluate tools and decide if they’re a good fit for your needs or not.
