SaaS Hammer

Django SaaS starter with a choice of Hotwire or React/Next.js frontend

Best for: Django developers who want the option to ship a mostly server-rendered Hotwire app now and keep a React/Next.js path open later, without switching kits.
Skip if: You've already committed to a pure React/Next.js frontend and don't need the Hotwire option - simpler Django+React-only kits may fit better.

SaaS Hammer is a commercial Django starter kit that lets you pick between a Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) frontend for a mostly server-rendered app, or a React + Next.js frontend for a JS-heavy one - both built on the same Django REST Framework backend. It ships Stripe payments and subscriptions, user authentication, a Wagtail-powered CMS, pre-built UI components, user impersonation for debugging, and CI/CD tooling. A free demo tier exists for evaluation; the real product is a one-time purchase at $299 for a single site or $749 for unlimited sites with commercial rights and priority support.

Pros

Genuinely dual-frontend: Hotwire/Turbo and React/Next.js are both first-class options against the same Django backend, which is unusual in this category.
A free demo tier lets you evaluate the actual product before paying, rather than judging from marketing copy alone.
User impersonation for debugging is included, which is support tooling most kits leave for buyers to build.
The $299 single-site tier is a relatively low entry price for a commercial Django kit with this much scope.

Cons

No public repository to inspect before buying, and no mention of multi-tenancy or team/organization features in what's documented.
License terms (resale, number of developers per single-site license, etc.) weren't detailed on the pages checked for this listing - worth confirming before buying.
Two frontend options means twice the surface area to maintain and document; worth checking how deep the Hotwire path actually goes versus React.
