This is a flat-out rip off. All three of those tools can plug into any Rails app pretty easily:<p>Bootstrap: <a href="https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails</a><p>Stripe: <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/288-billing-with-stripe" rel="nofollow">http://railscasts.com/episodes/288-billing-with-stripe</a><p>KISSmetrics: <a href="http://support.kissmetrics.com/apis/ruby-specific" rel="nofollow">http://support.kissmetrics.com/apis/ruby-specific</a><p>If you can't manage to set these things up on your own save your money because you shouldn't be bothering to build a Rails app in the first place.

- What's the licensing look like? Can I buy it once &#38; use it on every project?<p>- When you say "a UI", what are we talking about above &#38; beyond what Bootstrap gives me?<p>- Since it's a stock app, and not an engine/gem, how am I going to easily merge back in your bugfixes?<p>- Is this just for a one-time purchase? What kind of support do you have for recurring billing?<p>Looking at what you've laid out so far, I'd probably be billing ~2-3 hours for it, so the pricing sorta lines up there, assuming it supports multiple recurring subscription plans, gives me a decent reporting interface, coupon codes, all the nice things that Stripe gives for me out of the box.<p>As somebody who's built this a number of times before for clients, both before &#38; after the Stripe era, there was definitely a recoil when I saw the price.<p>Part of my recoil can probably be attributed to having inherited a RailsKitted-project in the past.

I'm rather curious as to what the "comprehensive test suite" includes. If I were to write something like this, it seems like it would take nothing more than installing the various gems on a basic rails app, and adding a little glue code to integrate bootstrap. Or am I missing something?
