React on Rails Pro: Start Here
React on Rails Pro has its canonical installation and upgrade guides in the Pro docs section. This page stays in the OSS getting-started area as a short gateway so readers coming from OSS discovery paths land on the right Pro docs instead of a second, competing setup guide.
Choose the Right Pro Path
- Need a production subscription? Visit Pricing and sign up.
- Starting a new Pro app from scratch? Use Pro Installation.
- Upgrading an existing React on Rails app? Use Upgrading from React on Rails to React on Rails Pro.
- Still deciding between OSS and Pro? Review React on Rails: OSS vs Pro Feature Comparison.
React on Rails Pro is free in development, test, CI, and staging for everyone,
and free in production for small organizations (under 10 people, under $1M
revenue, under $1M raised) and for charities, schools, and hospitals at any
size. Larger organizations subscribe for production use at
pro.reactonrails.com: $1,800 per year covers
the whole organization. No license key is needed to run it; a key from your
subscription only marks your pages Licensed. See
the license.
After Setup
- Add React Server Components with the Pro RSC docs.
- Review Node Renderer if you want the production SSR architecture behind Pro.
- Use Common Issues & Quick Fixes if your generator or local setup does not behave as expected.
