Business Class

Business Class summary

Business Class is a complete Ruby on Rails template that accelerates the development of SaaS applications. It provides a wide range of features, including subscriptions, SEO-optimized blogging, and a security-hardened deployment configuration using Kamal.

The tool includes advanced features like authentication with OTP, team management, and a built-in admin panel, enabling developers to quickly launch production-ready applications with just a few commands and a $5/month virtual private server.

Their philosophy:

• Standard Rails - Business Class is built with all the common conventions and stays as close to vanilla Rails as possible. That means Hotwire, Active Storage or Minitest.

• Just a template - Your product won’t have any reference to Business Class whatsoever. No private gems, no Business Class named modules, nothing. This is your application.

The goal is to allow users to go from initialising a new project to having an online application up and running within a weekend by handling many of the complexities involved in building and deploying a modern SaaS through its pre-built functionality and configuration.

At a one-time cost for unlimited projects, Business Class offers exceptional value for web developers looking to quickly launch new SaaS products, with its comprehensive feature set and streamlined deployment process.
