Every tool you need to build, deploy, and run a SaaS — all free tiers, all production-capable.
In 2026, the free tiers on modern developer tools are production-capable for early-stage products. I ran [SocialMate](https://socialmate.studio) on $0/month infrastructure for the first 6 months.
**Next.js** — Framework. Free and open source.
**Supabase** — Database + auth + storage. Free: 500MB DB, 1GB storage, 50k monthly auth users.
**Vercel** — Deployment. Free: unlimited personal projects, 100GB bandwidth/month.
**Resend** — Email. Free: 3,000 emails/month.
**Inngest** — Background jobs. Free: 50,000 function runs/month.
**Google Gemini Flash** — AI generation. Free: 15 requests/minute.
**Stripe** — Payments. No monthly fee — 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction only.
$0 before revenue. The only paid tool worth adding early is Claude Code — it's what makes you fast enough to build everything else in the evenings.
Full setup guide: [Vol. 4 of Gilgamesh's Guides](https://socialmate.studio/guides/vibe-coding-with-ai). Free.
