SaaS Pegasus
Mature Django SaaS boilerplate with teams, Stripe billing, and AI building blocks

- Best for
- Django teams building a real multi-tenant SaaS who want auth, billing, and background jobs handled, and are fine picking React or HTMX for the frontend.
- Skip if
- You want a modern JS-first framework instead of Django, or the free open-source tier's limited updates and lack of support aren't enough for your project.
SaaS Pegasus is a long-running Django starter kit that pairs Django's backend with your choice of React or HTMX on the frontend. It ships user accounts, team-based multi-tenancy with roles, Stripe subscriptions and an e-commerce store, two-factor auth, feature flags, Celery background tasks, Wagtail CMS, and built-in patterns for AI chat and agents. A free open-source tier gets you the core codebase with limited updates and no support; paid tiers ($449 for one project with a year of updates, $649 for unlimited projects with lifetime updates) add ongoing releases and community access.
Pros
- One of the longest-running, most feature-complete Django SaaS kits in this category, covering multi-tenancy, billing, background jobs, and CMS rather than just auth and Stripe.
- Frontend flexibility: pick React for a JS-heavy app or HTMX to stay mostly server-rendered, without switching kits.
- A genuinely usable free open-source tier exists, not just a locked demo - useful for evaluating the codebase before paying for ongoing updates.
- Team/multi-tenancy and two-factor auth ship as first-class features rather than being left to the buyer.
Cons
- The free tier gets limited updates and no support, so most real projects will end up on a paid tier ($449-$649).
- Django-only: if your team isn't already committed to Python/Django, the ecosystem is smaller than the Next.js SaaS-kit category.
- This listing is built from vendor-facing pages only - GitHub stars, last-commit freshness, and independent user reviews were not separately verified.
- AI features are described as "patterns" and "building blocks" rather than a specific shipped integration - worth confirming exactly what's included before relying on it.
