Jetpack vs Supastarter
Choose Supastarter if you need Nuxt or TanStack Start, five payment providers, or a heavy multi-tenant structure from the first commit. Choose Jetpack if you want one command to a running app with no Docker and no keys, and an agent that runs each feature to a green acceptance spec. Supastarter is broader; Jetpack is faster to a working, tested feature.
