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. You can evaluate Pro without a 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 evaluation policy
You can try React on Rails Pro without a license while evaluating.
If your organization is budget-constrained, email justin@shakacode.com. We can grant free licenses in qualifying cases.
The goal is to make the upgrade path clear and low-friction, not to force a second docs silo.
