SaaS Development, From First Tenant to Paying Users

SaaS products live or die on three things: a scoped first version, working billing, and retention loops. We build all three — multi-tenant architecture, Stripe subscriptions, onboarding flows and the admin views you need to run the business.

Start with a focused SaaS MVP from $1,500–$4,000 and expand from real user feedback rather than assumptions.

What's included

  • Multi-tenant architecture and auth
  • Subscription billing and plans
  • User onboarding and email flows
  • Admin dashboard and usage analytics
  • Deployment with CI/CD

Frequently asked questions

Which stack do you use?

Modern TypeScript stacks (Next.js, Node, Postgres) by default — chosen for hiring ease and scaling, not fashion. If your context needs something else, we say so.

Can you take over an existing SaaS?

Yes — we start with a code and infrastructure review, then a prioritized improvement plan.

How does the free project analysis work?

You answer a few focused questions (about 3 minutes). Our AI generates a personalized roadmap with features, phases and a readiness score — then a human consultant reviews it with you on a free call before any scope or price is final.

What the build process looks like, phase by phase

Every SaaS engagement starts with a scoping call where we map your core user workflow, data model, and billing logic before writing a line of code. From there we move into architecture decisions — tenant isolation strategy, auth provider, infrastructure — documented in a short spec you approve. Build happens in two-week cycles with a staging environment you can access throughout; you're never waiting until the end to see progress. Billing integration (typically Stripe) is wired up early so payment flows are tested under real conditions, not bolted on at the end. Once core features are stable, we add the admin views and usage metrics you need to support customers and make product decisions. Each cycle ends with a handoff document covering what was built, any open decisions, and what's next. You own all code and infrastructure from day one — no lock-in.

What you receive as deliverables — and what honest pricing covers

Every SaaS engagement produces working, deployed software — not a prototype you hand off to another team to finish. Deliverables typically include: a multi-tenant data model with row-level isolation, user authentication and role management, at least one subscription tier wired to Stripe (including webhooks for failed payments and cancellations), a customer-facing dashboard, and an admin panel so you can manage users and view key metrics without touching the database. You also receive documented environment variables, a deployment guide, and a handover call walking through the codebase.

On pricing: MVPs in the $1,500–$4,000 range cover a tightly scoped feature set — one core workflow, one billing tier, basic onboarding. Complexity that reliably increases cost includes multi-role permissions, usage-based billing, third-party integrations, and custom analytics. We scope every project before quoting, so you see a line-item breakdown rather than a single number. There are no retainer requirements; you can return for a second phase when revenue justifies it.
