faq
Fair. Most tools do. That is why outreach is sent from inside the Playbook, not copy-pasted out to another tab — and why the Stripe webhook fires inside the Playbook when your first customer pays. Those are the two events that matter on the post-launch stretch. If both live somewhere else, kill the tool. Both live here. The Playbook is not a tab you open. It is the room you do the work in for 60 days.
Unlock SaaS vs ShipFast
comparison
ShipFast is Marc Lou's Next.js boilerplate ($299 lifetime) that gets a SaaS from zero to deployed in days — auth, payments, emails, SEO, landing page templates all wired. Unlock SaaS is a diagnostic and playbook for the next problem: the SaaS is live, the launch tweet went out, and Stripe is still flat. The two are complementary, not substitutes. Founders pre-ship pick ShipFast; founders post-ship-pre-revenue pick Unlock SaaS; founders mid-cycle often need both.
