# SaaS Hammer

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

https://topboilerplates.com/saas-hammer

Framework: Django | Pricing: $299 one-time

## Verdict

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.

## Description

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 and cons

+ 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.

- 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.

- This listing is built from the vendor's own site - independent reviews, GitHub activity, and freshness were not separately verified.
