Speed Build Marketplace Reviews

Totally worth it if you’re NOT a developer!
I’m not a coder, but this platform made it possible for me to launch my idea without getting stuck. I hired someone to help set it up ($) and again someone to build me the backend admin dashboard ($$) for my own needs! Even with that additional cost, it was still way cheaper than building a custom site from scratch. It honestly saved me thousands. Now I have something live, functional, and flexible without the tech overwhelm. Highly recommend it if you want speed without draining your bank account.

As an appsumo customer I got access to his paid video course at no charge, where he guides us trough everything from setup to launching your marketplace in no time!

# Recommendation

**I don’t recommend** this platform, but consulting a **MERN** stack expert could be beneficial. Their insight can help determine whether it’s a viable fit for your specific needs.

# Limited Documentation and Support

- Documentation is minimal and incomplete after the initial setup
- Few examples or guidance for customization, making it difficult to adapt or troubleshoot

# Complicated Setup Process

- Requires integration with multiple third-party services (e.g., Clerk for authentication, Ngrok for webhooks) just to get started
- Setup is technical and may frustrate users without developer experience

# More of a Boilerplate Than a Ready-to-Use Builder

- Lacks a visual editor or no-code tools; feels like a developer starter kit rather than a full app builder
- Requires significant manual coding and customization to make it production-ready
- Not suitable for non-technical users or those expecting a turnkey marketplace solution

# Limited Benefits

- While it supports multi-vendor features and basic marketplace flows, these are barebones and require heavy customization
- It might be somewhat helpful only if you are an experienced developer looking to build a very basic MVP quickly
- Not recommended for anyone seeking an intuitive, user-friendly, or fully-featured marketplace platform
- **However, it does let you skip the basics with built-in login, registration, payments, SEO, and email integrations**

Please refund sir.

Speed Build Marketplace is an excellent tool for creating a marketplace MVP quickly. All essential functionalities are already integrated, saving precious time. Installation is simple, the structure is clean and the rendering is professional. What's more, the developer is very available and responsive to guide you if you need help. I recommend it!

Definitely helps - Only thing I was also hoping for is an example of a review feature after purchase. But I added it as a feature request and hoping it will come soon.

I first came across the boilerplate via youTube and Rasmus's channel there.
And then found this deal.

The boilerplate gives is a solid foundation. It doesn’t do everything for you (which is expected I guess), but it handles all the heavy lifting: Stripe Connect (examples - you still have to adjust to your specific idea), Clerk for auth, SEO, listings, messaging component, etc.

I still have to tweak things to fit my specific idea, but that’s the point I guess:)
It definitely saves you time.
