No Catch

Why is SpeedPy free?

Because we'd rather earn your trust than a few hundred dollars up front. SpeedPy is built and maintained by Appliku — the platform that deploys it. The boilerplate is MIT-licensed and yours forever; we only make money if you choose Appliku to host it. No license keys, no per-seat fees, no locked-away “pro” repo.

Paid Django boilerplates

A few hundred dollars up front — often per project or per seat.
A restrictive license — you can't freely redistribute or resell what you build.
Your money funds the boilerplate itself.

SpeedPy

$0 — free and MIT-licensed, forever.
Do whatever you want — fork it, ship it, sell it, keep it closed.
Funded by Appliku, the platform that deploys it — optional, never required.

That's the whole deal: take the code, build the product only you can build, and deploy it anywhere you like. When you want the fastest path to production, deploy to Appliku in a few clicks — but it's entirely optional, and the boilerplate is 100% yours either way.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is SpeedPy really free?

Yes. SpeedPy is released under the MIT license and free forever — no license keys, no per-seat fees, no paid pro tier. Clone it, build on it, and ship. SpeedPy is maintained by Appliku, which only earns money if you choose Appliku to deploy your app; using it is entirely optional.

How is it different from SaaS Pegasus and other paid boilerplates?

Paid Django boilerplates usually cost a few hundred dollars up front and ship with a restrictive license that limits how you redistribute what you build. SpeedPy is free and MIT-licensed, so you can fork it, sell what you make, or keep it closed. It's also built for the AI era, with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, a first-party CLI, and ready-made agent rules out of the box.

Can I self-host it, or am I locked into Appliku?

You can host SpeedPy anywhere Django runs — your own servers, any cloud, or any PaaS. Nothing ties the code to Appliku. Appliku is simply the fastest one-click path to production when you want it.

Does it work with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding agents?

Yes. SpeedPy ships with AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor and Codex rules, and agent recipes, so tools like Claude Code and Cursor understand the project's conventions the moment you open it. An MCP server template lets agents call your app's API directly.

Can I use SpeedPy for commercial or client projects?

Yes. The MIT license covers personal, commercial, and client work, including products you sell. Just keep the license notice in the source.
