# Business Class

A Rails 8 SaaS starter kit with teams, billing, and Kamal deployment built in

https://topboilerplates.com/business-class

Framework: Ruby on Rails | Pricing: $2 one-time

## Verdict

Best for: Rails developers who want a self-hosted SaaS starter with teams, dual billing providers, and a Kamal-based deployment path already solved.

Skip if: You're not building in Ruby on Rails, or you'd rather deploy to a managed PaaS than manage your own VPS via Kamal.

## Description

Business Class is a Ruby on Rails 8.1 starter kit for building SaaS products, built by indie developer Josef Strzibny. It includes Devise authentication with two-factor OTP, team-scoped roles and invitations, Stripe and Paddle billing, an admin panel, an SEO-friendly blog, and a security-hardened Kamal deployment setup.

## Pros and cons

+ One-time $169 price with unlimited projects, no recurring license fee

+ Both Stripe and Paddle Billing supported for flexible monetization

+ Kamal deployment configuration included for cheap self-hosting

+ Team management with roles and invitations built in

- Requires managing your own VPS/server rather than a one-click PaaS deploy

- Built by a solo developer, so support and update cadence may be limited

- License terms for reuse/resale aren't clearly published on the site
