Caisson vs SaasRock
SaasRock is the admin-heavy React Router kit with an entity builder. Caisson is the compliance substrate it sits above. Here is the honest line.
Which should you use?
Pick SaasRock for admin depth on React Router 7 (Remix): an entity builder that auto-generates CRUD + APIs, separate admin/app/marketing portals, no-code page blocks, feature flags, roles, i18n, and B2B2C support. Pick Caisson for the compliance substrate underneath: fail-closed Postgres RLS with isolation tests, a WORM + hash-chained audit trail, per-tenant field encryption, and SOC 2 / HIPAA / EU AI Act evidence packs. SaasRock maximizes admin and app-builder tooling; Caisson maximizes audit-readiness.

What SaasRock is genuinely better at
A comparison that only flatters one side isn't worth reading. Here is what this kit does well.
SaasRock's auto-generated CRUD + APIs, no-code page blocks, and three-portal structure (admin/app/marketing) are a lot of working machinery. For an admin-heavy internal product, that tooling saves real time.
It ships B2B2C application support, feature flags, roles, and metrics, capabilities many kits skip. For a multi-layered B2B product, that breadth is a genuine head start.
Where Caisson draws the line
The compliance and tenant-isolation substrate a launch kit leaves to you.
SaasRock gives you an app builder and admin; it does not ship isolation tests that prove cross-tenant reads fail, a WORM audit trail, field encryption, or OSCAL evidence packs. Its isolation is enforced in the Prisma layer, not database RLS.
Caisson is composable compliance packages you add to a standard Postgres app, rather than a broad admin platform to adopt whole.
Which should you pick?
You want an admin-heavy React Router product with an entity builder, page blocks, and B2B2C support out of the box.
You need database-enforced isolation with tests plus audit evidence, on a focused, composable substrate.
Build the admin surface on SaasRock and add Caisson's Compliance bundle for the isolation tests, WORM audit, and evidence packs when compliance enters scope.
One-time, own the source.
Caisson is a one-time perpetual license — the price never recurs, and it includes 12 months of updates from your purchase date, renewable per entitlement afterward at 40% of list per year. The Base substrate is Apache-2.0; the compliance modules are commercial.
