FAQ
The questions Marouane gets in his X DMs every week.
Is the code open source?
No. FactoryStarter is proprietary. Buyers receive read access to the private factory-template-0 GitHub repo for the lifetime of their license.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes. There are no restrictions on what you build with FactoryStarter — internal tools, client sites, side projects, your own SaaS portfolio. Single seat, though: each developer needs their own license.
What if Anthropic changes Claude Code?
Updates are included for 12 months. When Claude Code ships a breaking change, the agents and playbooks get updated and pushed to the repo — you pull and you're current. After 12 months, the optional $49/year keeps the updates flowing.
Do I need to know AI / LLMs?
No deep knowledge needed. The agents are pre-configured system prompts; you run them via Claude Code's --dangerously-skip-permissions mode. If you can read a markdown file and run a CLI, you have what you need.
Can I share access with my team?
The default is a single seat. Teams should email hello@factorystarter.dev for a multi-seat license — typically 3-5 seats for the price of two.
What stack do I need to know?
TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase basics, Stripe basics. If you've shipped one indie SaaS before, you have everything required. The agents handle the boring parts.
How do refunds work?
Email hello@factorystarter.dev within 30 days of purchase. Full refund, no questions, no forms. Your GitHub access is revoked the same day.
Will I need other paid services?
Free tiers cover M1-M3 for most builders: Vercel hobby, Supabase free, Resend 3,000 emails/mo, PostHog 1M events/mo. You'll only pay when a product breaks through.
How long until I ship my first product?
7-14 days following the playbook. The first run takes longer because you're learning the agent flow; product 2 is usually ~5 days, and product N stabilizes at ~3-4 days.
Is this for me if I'm not a senior dev?
Best fit is intermediate-to-senior — you should be comfortable shipping a Next.js app with Supabase + Stripe to production. If that sounds heavy, ShipFast is probably a better starting point.
