How much does it cost to build a SaaS product?
What building a SaaS product costs at a fixed price, which parts drive the number, and how to phase an MVP, a Product Build and ongoing development.
A SaaS MVP starts from $6k as an MVP Sprint of 4 to 6 weeks. A fuller product with billing, an admin portal and a security review starts from $12k as a Product Build of 8 to 14 weeks. After launch, an AI-augmented team starts from $6k per month. These are starting prices; your fixed price is set after a scoping call.

See the pricing page for what each tier includes.
What makes a SaaS product cost more?
- Multi-tenancy. Accounts, workspaces, roles and data isolation are built once and affect everything else.
- Billing. Plans, trials, upgrades and failed payments run through your billing provider, and each case needs handling.
- Integrations and API. Customers expect connectors, webhooks and an API.
- Admin and support tools. Your team needs to find accounts, see usage and fix problems.
- Security evidence. Enterprise buyers send questionnaires, so documented practices matter early.
How do you keep the cost down?
Build one workflow end to end, plus sign-up and billing. Launch it, watch what customers use, then decide what to build next. You own the code and run on open source, so growth never forces a rebuild. More on our approach is on the SaaS industry page.
What is not included?
Our fee covers design, engineering, testing and launch. Hosting, billing provider fees and other third-party costs are billed by those providers to accounts in your name.

FAQ
Is a SaaS MVP really possible from $6k?
Yes, for a narrow first workflow with one core integration. Anything wider is scoped as a Product Build.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of launch support. After that you can move to an AI-augmented team, a retainer, or run the code yourself.
