It'd be nice if there was a way to try the demo without signing in.

That said, this looks like a good product.

Are there other similar/competing things for Rails, and are there other competing SaaS-in-a-box things for other frameworks?

https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates collects such frameworks, it lists 4 for Rails.
This is a great list, though it's not that helpful for comparing them with each other. There is also https://www.starter.place/ which includes more information about what features are included in each one.

What's still missing is some kind of aggregated review service or something for these. From the outside it's still very difficult to tell the difference between "well-maintained, production-ready thing that has been used by hundreds of real businesses" and "some rando's app they threw on github / are trying to sell".

There is such a huge difference in quality/maturity for many of these and that is literally all you are paying for. Still a tricky market to navigate.

would be cool if someone evaluated all of them.
I wish Deno’s future and popularity was more known. I’d love to try my next side project in Deno, but I’ll probably stick to React/Next and maybe Rails.
I've made a project using their Fresh framework, it was actually quite a nice dev experience.
What did you build with it?
That looks great—thanks for the link!
Yup, jumpstart Pro is amazing...
rails has the concept of app templates, so you can create this for yourself. here's one step-by-step example: https://citizen428.net/blog/rails-quick-tips-5-create-apps-f...

there are also repositories, like https://railsbytes.com/, where you can peruse similarly pre-composed app templates of varying quality.
