This is what I'm working on with Nexus: https://nexusdev.tools/

DocUI gives you an easy to use SDK for a Flutter UI (web and other platforms) powered by the back-end.

I will also release Nim packages which handle back-end work, including an ORM, account management, payments and other functionality. These will eventually have Python wrappers.

In Ruby, but https://bullettrain.co/ is really awesome. Billing, teams, roles, chat, outbound webhooks, etc

I've used Jumpstart Rails and I recommend it. It's made by Chris Oliver from GoRails. It has a ton of features built in like auth, payments, I18n, notifications, user impersonation, and more.

Disclaimer: It is a paid software, and I am not affiliated with Jumpstart or GoRails.

A Python SaaSSaaS would be great. I find no-code too clunky. Flask is to hard to setup. I setup a PHP server and dropped a PHP script in 30mins. Why can't I do the same with Python but with user mgt, auth and billing rolled in? sigh.

This is what I'm attempting to solve with https://www.saaspegasus.com/ (though is Django, not Flask)

Hey! I'm a co-founder of SaaS Boilerplate - https://www.apptension.com/saas-boilerplate

We support Python/Django on the backend and Typescript/React on the frontend. It has all you mentioned - RBAC, User management, and payments/subscriptions (via Stripe integration). Of course, these are not all the features we have ;)

Happy to answer all your questions! Wishing you good luck with setting up and launching your project.

Cheers, Zee

We're working on a no-code SaaS app builder that creates real Rails apps at https://www.railsrocket.app. It's not a boilerplate, but it's even better as you can create a full app without writing code as well as continue to make changes to and manage the app.

We're not live with self-serve yet but I'd be happy to give a demo to anyone interested, just email me at paul (at) railsrocket.app

See my post on https://nexusdev.tools/. In development, the back-end is Nim but will have Python wrappers.

For Ruby on Rails, you should check Jumpstart Pro, they have nice inbuilt integration with stripe and other payment gateways.

For payments specifically, Laravel Spark is worth checking out.

Having tried a couple of the SaaS boilerplate options or even better the SaaS-for-SaaS systems mentioned by other commenters, I found there to still be a lot of manual setup and work required. Questions and decisions like the OP's take time and energy away from innovation.

Makes me wonder if someone hasn't yet come up with a cloud based SaaS to streamline that. Something basic, ideally it would handle basic language/eco-system selection, automatic SaaSSaaS boilerplate service select, on-boarding and configuration and customization, ideally transparently federated over several vendors? Maybe a paid tier that uses CoPilot-like-AI and NoCode to come up with your idea and then execute it. SaaS4SaaS4SaaS. SaaSCubed?
