Boilerplate, template or starter kit?

What is a boilerplate, template or starter kit?

Code you start a project from. A boilerplate or starter kit is a working app skeleton with sign-in, payments and a database already wired. A template is mostly pages and design for a site. Here they are all called starters.

Should I pay for a starter or use a free one?

Free, open-source starters are enough to learn and to test an idea. Paid ones usually save time on billing, teams and support.

Why only a handful of starters?

A long list makes choosing harder, not easier. We list the few we would point a friend to, and say plainly who each one is for and who it is not for.
