Our Verdict
SaaS Pegasus starts at $249 and is Django and Python, built around Stripe and Tailwind with Django's admin doing the heavy lifting. supastarter runs $349-1499 on Next.js, Nuxt, React and TanStack, and carries the widest feature list in the catalog: multi-tenancy, i18n, analytics, user management, dashboards, AI. Both ship AGENTS.md and tests, and Pegasus goes further with CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, four Claude skills and two MCP servers. Python teams should take Pegasus; JavaScript teams needing i18n and multi-tenancy should take supastarter.
The key difference: Django versus the JavaScript ecosystem: Pegasus gives Python teams a mature admin from $249, supastarter gives Next.js and Nuxt teams multi-tenancy and i18n from $349.
Choose SaaS Pegasus if...
- ✓ Your team ships Python and wants Django batteries included

Choose supastarter if...
- ✓ You need multi-tenancy, i18n and user management in TypeScript
