Fastro vs FastroAI

This boilerplate - Fastro - is the free, open-source foundation: everything you need for a production FastAPI backend. FastroAI is the paid template built on the same foundation for shipping a complete SaaS - Stripe billing (subscriptions, credits, discounts), entitlements, transactional email, and a frontend, all wired together. Building an AI product? The PydanticAI agent layer is included too - but every paid feature fits a regular SaaS just as well.
