Nice this is super useful, but as a dev, it is kind of difficult to justify paying for this when there are free boilerplate repos that bring me about 50% there already.

The other 50% like adding custom elements to the stack can be variable in difficulty depending on the plugin.

The drag and drop editor is interesting and I think it would be useful as a standalone tool to a different audience (e.g. no-code devs). The emphasis on codebase seems like the target audience is React devs. However, this group often already have dev tools they use and are comfortable with writing code so I'm not sure how useful the drag and drop ui would be to them. I think this would really empower non-technical people to build a website that can later be worked on by devs though. That seems like a strong value proposition to use your framework rather than designing something in Figma or other no-code website builder.

Also the drag and drop feature is not super obvious from the landing page. The term codebase and template automatically makes me think of boilerplate and starter code.

One additional thing is that the upfront pricing + unlimited usage is attractive on one hand but on the other hand, it is difficult to convince myself to pay it upfront before having used the product. I would much rather prefer a subscription or project based pricing because it gives me the opportunity to leave at anytime and not feel like I'm leaving money on the table.
