You've decided to build a SaaS app with this template. Great choice! 🎉
This template is:
- fully open-source
- completely free to use and distribute

Check it out in action here: OpenSaaS.sh

:::tip[FREE & OPEN-SOURCE!? 🌟] That's right. Use this template however you like. No strings attached.
If you find this template useful, consider giving us a star on GitHub. It helps us to keep bringing you open-source software just like this! :::
The template itself is built on top of some very powerful tools and frameworks, including:
- 🐝 Wasp - a full-stack React, NodeJS, Prisma framework with superpowers
- 🚀 Astro - Astro's lightweight "Starlight" template for documentation and blog
- 💸 Stripe or Lemon Squeezy - for products and payments
- 📈 Plausible or Google Analytics
- 🤖 OpenAI - OpenAI API integrated into the app or Replicate (coming soon 👀)
- 📦 AWS S3 - for file uploads
- 📧 SendGrid, MailGun, or SMTP - for email sending
- 💅 TailwindCSS - for styling
- 🧑💼 TailAdmin - admin dashboard & components for TailwindCSS
Because we're using Wasp as the full-stack framework, we can leverage a lot of its features to build our SaaS in record time, including:
- 🔐 Full-stack Authentication - Email verified + social Auth in a few lines of code.
- ⛑ End-to-end Type Safety - Type your backend functions and get inferred types on the front-end automatically, without the need to install or configure any third-party libraries. Oh, and type-safe Links, too!
- 🤖 Jobs - Run cron jobs in the background or set up queues simply by defining a function in the config file.
- 🚀 One-command Deploy - Easily deploy via the CLI to Fly.io, or to other providers like Railway and Netlify.
You also get access to Wasp's diverse, helpful community if you get stuck or need help.
:::caution["Work In Progress"] We've tried to get as many of the core features of a SaaS app into this template as possible, but there still might be some missing features or functionality.
We could always use some help tying up loose ends, so consider contributing! :::
