Downgrade — pay for the workflow, not the AI

The backstory

Makerkit is the more thorough end of the boilerplate market: multi-tenancy, billing, roles, tests, all maintained. Boilerplates are precisely what agents are best at emitting, so the surviving argument is that someone keeps this one updated and correct while your generated version rots.

Escape hatches

switching could free up $3,588/yr
