Hi PH! I’m Wyatt, founder of Update (https://update.dev)
We built Update to make auth and billing just work for modern web apps—so you can ship faster, without duct-taping 3–5 services together. If you’ve ever wired up Supabase, Stripe, and custom roles just to add a paywall to your app—you know the pain. We felt it too, and we wanted something better.
With Update, you get drop-in infrastructure for:
Auth: email/password, OAuth, multi-tenancy, permissions
Billing: Stripe-based subscriptions, usage-based pricing, free trials, paywalls
User Management: Organizations, teams, dashboards—prebuilt, customizable, and clean
Why we built this:
At Update, we believe developers should be able to go from idea → revenue without wading through auth and billing boilerplate. It should be easy to:
- Let users sign up
- Create teams or organizations
- Set permissions
- Charge by usage, subscription, or both
So we made the thing we always wanted: one simple SDK to handle the basics—auth, billing, and user access—so you can focus on your product.
Everything’s ready to plug into your existing stack—React, Next.js, Supabase, FastAPI, etc.—so you can spend less time wiring up the basics and more time building.
Who it’s for
- Indie hackers who don’t want to spend 3 weeks wiring up Stripe + Auth
- Startup teams building MVPs
- Platforms looking to onboard users fast with scalable multi-tenancy
- Builders using Supabase, Firebase, Next.js, React, FastAPI, or Python in general
Goals of Update:
⚙️ Zero boilerplate: Plug in auth + billing without writing your own logic
🧱 Stack-flexible: Works with React, Next.js, Supabase, Python, FastAPI, and more
🧑💻 Easy to customize: Bring your own UI or use ours out of the box
🧾 Built-in billing: Subscriptions, trials, usage-based pricing—done for you
🚀 Production-ready: Permissions, orgs, roles, and user dashboards from day one
We’re just getting started and would love to hear your feedback. If you're building something and tired of stitching together infrastructure, we’d love to chat.
Thanks for checking us out!

Who hunted Update?
Update was hunted by Wyatt Miller. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
