FAQ

What is SaaS in web development?

SaaS or Software-as-a-Service is a software distribution model where applications are hosted by a third-party provider and accessed by users over the Internet. While traditional software is installed locally and requires dedicated infrastructure and manual deployment, SaaS is cloud-native, enabling faster development, continuous delivery, and easier scaling.

How can I validate my SaaS idea before starting development​?

The best way to validate your SaaS idea is to interview potential customers. Starting with MVP development will help you attract beta users and get real-world feedback before investing in full-fledged development.

Is one developer enough to build a SaaS application?

An individual developer is sufficient to create a SaaS MVP using modern frameworks and cloud infrastructure. It's a great way to test an idea with minimal investment. However, long-term success usually implies help in UI/UX, security, scalability, and customer support when the product scales up.

What is the cost of building a SaaS platform?

In our experience, prices for high-quality SaaS development typically range between $20,000 and $150,000+. The price depends on the scope of features, bespoke design, integrations, and regulatory requirements.

How long does it take to build a SaaS product?

A bare-minimal MVP can be developed within 3–6 months, which is good enough for testing and early feedback. Based on team size and development practice, a complete product with feature-rich analytics and security will take 9–18 months or more.
