Who each one is for
Start from the platforms you need. If a React Native app or a browser extension is on your roadmap, TurboStarter’s Core Kit includes both at $249. Nuxt is supastarter-only. TanStack Start is in supastarter’s selector at every tier; TurboStarter has it only through the Edge Kit in the $549 Bundle. Both license per person: supastarter sells seats in 1, 5 and 10 packs, TurboStarter wants one license per named individual, contractors included.
- supastarter: you want Nuxt (or TanStack Start at any tier), five payment providers, or a consulting call included at the Startup and Agency tiers.
- TurboStarter: you want mobile and a browser extension in the base price, a lower entry ($249 against $349), a free founder call and a public roadmap.
- Either one: you can live with seat-based licensing and no dependable refund policy.

And if neither fits?
Both are seat-licensed and neither lists MercadoPago. useDeploy is a TypeScript SaaS boilerplate (Next.js and Express on Bun, Prisma, BetterAuth) with multi-tenancy, RBAC and ESLint-enforced architecture layers, sold as a one-time $99 Founder or $199 Lifetime license with a 14-day refund. Polar billing is complete. MercadoPago takes one-time payments through Checkout Pro. Subscriptions are not available yet, and the Stripe adapter is a scaffold that does not charge yet. It is also younger: the community is smaller, so if you need Nuxt, a mobile app or a more established ecosystem, one of the kits above (TurboStarter for mobile) fits better.
