How much does it cost to build a SaaS?

An MVP SaaS with auth, billing, and a core feature set typically takes 15-30 hours ($1,500-$3,000). Complex platforms with multiple features take more. I give you an honest estimate after understanding your product.

What billing platform do you use?

Stripe. It handles subscriptions, invoicing, payment methods, tax calculations, and customer portal -- all through a battle-tested API.

Can it handle a lot of users?

Yes. The serverless architecture on Vercel scales automatically. PostgreSQL with connection pooling handles high concurrency. You do not need to manage servers.

Do you stay on after launch?

I can. Many SaaS clients keep me on a monthly retainer for feature development, bug fixes, and infrastructure monitoring.
