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!

@emmettm This is so spot-on it hurts. I remember spending a ridiculous amount of time gluing Supabase + Stripe + some hacked-together roles logic just to get a basic paywall working—and even then it felt fragile.
Update looks like the infra glue we’ve all been duct-taping ourselves. One SDK to rule the boring parts—auth, billing, permissions—so we can stop reinventing the wheel and actually build the product. Big fan of the stack flexibility (FastAPI folks rise up 🙌), and the fact that you’re not forcing a UI but giving the option is chef’s kiss.
I’d love to hear how you handle more advanced usage-based billing patterns (e.g. tiered, rollover credits) and what’s coming next in terms of dashboards or webhook/event integrations.
Curious - did you ever had a thought of naming your apps SupaAuth or SupaBill? 😉️
Wow, Wyatt, Update sounds like the dream solution for developers! 🚀 I love how it takes all the headache out of integrating auth, billing, and user management—such a huge time-saver! 🙌 How customizable is the UI? Can developers tweak it to match their app’s design, or is it mostly plug-and-play with your default styles?
Congrats on the launch, Wyatt! 👏
Update looks like a massive time-saver for builders—auth + billing is one of those things that everyone needs but no one wants to spend weeks duct-taping together. Love how you’ve tackled the multi-tenancy and usage-based pricing out of the box—those are usually the hardest parts to get right.
Super exciting for indie hackers and small teams who want to get to revenue without fighting Stripe webhooks and role systems. Definitely giving this a spin on my next build. Subscribed to your journey—can’t wait to see what’s next! 🚀
All-in-one for auth, billing, and user management? Yes! Can we fully customize colors, layouts, and UI components to match our app’s branding, or is customization limited?
