  • I'm obviously biased, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I also probably know more about this space than ~anyone else. I'd say that your characterization is pretty accurate. There are many similar products to Pegasus (you can find a pretty comprehensive list here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates) but most of them are either more focused on infrastructure/setup (e.g. cookiecutter-django or - as you noted - far less mature/maintained (most of the others on that list).

  • cookiecutter-django

    Cookiecutter Django is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready Django projects quickly.

  • django-allauth

    Integrated set of Django applications addressing authentication, registration, account management as well as 3rd party (social) account authentication.

  • If you don't want to use Pegasus or another paid product (presumably because of the cost), the packages I'd reach for are django-allauth for login/user stuff and dj-stripe for the Stripe integration. As for teams, there wasn't a library I was happy with so I rolled my own for Pegasus, but some people like django-tenants. It's too heavyweight for my taste as it requires a more complex dev/test/infrastructure setup with Postgres schemas, as opposed to having a single-database and handling multitenancy in the application layer. But there are pros and cons to both approaches.

  • dj-stripe

    dj-stripe automatically syncs your Stripe Data to your local database as pre-implemented Django Models allowing you to use the Django ORM, in your code, to work with the data making it easier and faster.
