OpenSaaS

A free, open-source SaaS boilerplate built with React, Node.js, and Prisma

OpenSaaS gives developers a working SaaS foundation instead of making them wire together authentication, billing, database access, background jobs, email, and deployment from scratch.

The template includes email and social authentication, Stripe, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy payment support, AWS S3 file uploads, analytics, OpenAI integration, and a ShadCN UI based interface. You can deploy with Wasp to Railway or Fly.io, or deploy the application manually to another provider. The entire template is free and open source under the MIT license.

Saas UI

React component library and design system for SaaS products

Saas UI gives developers a ready-made frontend foundation for SaaS products. It is built on top of Chakra UI and provides accessible, customizable components that can be composed into application interfaces. The open-source library includes components for common SaaS screens and interactions, while the Pro offering adds application blocks, starter apps, onboarding, billing, feature flags, and other more complete product patterns. Saas UI is backend agnostic, so it can be used with different backend architectures and frameworks. It currently supports modern React setups including Next.js and Vite.

Bullet Train

Open-source Ruby on Rails SaaS framework

Bullet Train is built for developers who want to build a SaaS product on Rails without implementing the same application infrastructure from scratch.

The project is open source and uses Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL and Redis. Its scaffolding system can generate application code and database structures as your product grows, making it more useful for a full SaaS application than a basic Rails starter.

SaaS Pegasus

Django SaaS boilerplate for building production-ready web apps

SaaS Pegasus generates a Django codebase based on the features and technologies you select. It handles common SaaS work such as authentication, email confirmation, password resets, social login, teams, invitations, permissions, Stripe subscriptions, background jobs, APIs, and admin functionality. It also has an AI-ready architecture with support for chat, agents, and tool use. The generated project is your codebase, so you can modify the application directly and deploy it to your preferred infrastructure. An open-source edition is also available with a more limited feature set.
