Discode
Sell and ship your Rails apps—without going SaaS
Discode is a self-hosted platform that helps you sell and distribute your own Ruby on Rails applications. With built-in Stripe integration and a universal CLI installer, Discode gives you everything you need to turn your Rails app into a product—no SaaS, no lock-in.
Pass on SaaS. Keep your business simple, self-contained, and in your control.
Take full control. Keep your stack simple.
Discode isn’t a SaaS platform. It’s your app, running on your infrastructure. You host it. You own the data. You make the rules.
Forget about recurring fees, vendor lock-in, and the overhead of running a SaaS. Discode lets you build and sell Rails apps on your terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Discode to sell any Rails app?
Discode works best with standard Rails applications. If your app includes non-standard dependencies or installation steps, you may need to adjust it to align with Discode’s packaging and install process.
Can I use Discode for SaaS products?
No. Discode is designed specifically for self-hosted applications. It does not support recurring billing, multi-tenant architectures, or other features typically required for SaaS.
If you're ready to pass on SaaS and keep things lean, Discode is the perfect fit.
Do you offer customer support?
Yes. We provide customer support via email and through our support portal. We're happy to help with installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Can I white label or resell Discode?
No. Discode is not licensed for white labeling or resale. You can use it to distribute and manage your own applications, but you cannot rebrand or resell Discode itself.
