Performance tier, not separate product
Pro extends React on Rails for teams that need higher SSR throughput, RSC-oriented rendering features, and guided production support. The friendly license model lets you evaluate Pro without a token before you need a production license.
Upgrade path
Decide whether you need higher-throughput SSR, deeper RSC support, or maintainer-backed help.
Add the Pro gem and package changes without switching to a different product story or docs tree.
Turn on the Pro features you actually need, then validate production rendering and performance behavior.
Friendly license model
Try Pro freely in development, test, CI/CD, and staging. If no license is configured, Pro keeps running in unlicensed mode and logs license status instead of blocking your app.
Production deployments require a paid license. Visit Pro pricing and sign up for current options.
If your organization is budget-constrained, email justin@shakacode.com. We can grant free licenses in qualifying cases.
