SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
There is a demo of setting up docker-compose for Next.js app.
Clerk have a library to use with Stipe, but it does not work well. It relies on Stripe API calls from the frontend and there are issues with that: it keeps setting Stripe cookies which you should ask user's consent about. And it is not integrated with embeddable pricing table. I ended up implementing a webhook to handle subscriptions. It just updates Clerk user object when Stripe emits notification, then for paid product features checkup I only need to use Clerk React hooks and server-side libs.
There are tons of SaaS templates, they look really professional and visually appealing, but once you have to customize it to your product it you will inevitably feel the pain. Different code styling, outdated libraries, lack of specific features. Them when you change its code and make it working, it becomes painful to sync with newer versions of the theme (if they are publishing updates lol). Screw it. I ended up using building blocks from https://ui.mantine.dev/
