# YaSaas

Free, open-source Django + React starter for data-monetization SaaS

https://topboilerplates.com/yasaas

Framework: Django | Pricing: Free | GitHub stars: 125

## Verdict

Best for: Solo developers or small teams building a data-monetization SaaS around Django's own admin and permissions who want a free, inspectable starting point.

Skip if: You need multi-tenancy, teams, or a maintained/supported product - this is a small, single-maintainer open-source project with no visible commercial support.

## Description

YaSaas is a free, MIT-licensed SaaS boilerplate built on Django REST Framework and React, aimed at entrepreneurs monetizing data products through Django's own admin and permission system. It ships email-verified authentication with social login, Stripe subscription billing, dynamic column/action visibility by user group, login history and action-tracking, and a Django Admin-driven dashboard for managing frontend content. It's a small project (roughly 125 GitHub stars) maintained by a single developer (roperi).

## Pros and cons

+ Completely free and MIT-licensed, with the full source on GitHub to inspect before you build on it.

+ Leans on Django's own admin and permission system for access control rather than reinventing one, which keeps the surface area small.

+ Stripe subscriptions and social login are both included despite the project's small size.

+ Login history and action-tracking ship out of the box, which is useful audit tooling most free kits skip.

- Small project (~125 GitHub stars) maintained by one developer - there's no visible team, roadmap, or support commitment behind it.

- No multi-tenancy, teams, or organizations - it's built around single-user/admin data access, not B2B SaaS with customer accounts.

- Older dependency versions on the frontend (React 18, TypeScript 4) compared to more actively-updated competitors.

- This listing is built from the repo's own README - independent reviews and actual commit-activity freshness were not separately checked.
