SaaS MVP Development
From idea to a live, billing-ready SaaS, built end to end by one developer. Multi-tenant architecture, subscriptions, onboarding, and AI integration where it earns its place, so you can validate and start charging fast.
$8,000USD
Typical: $8,000 – $35,000 USD
Delivery: 6–10 weeks
An MVP is not a smaller version of your eventual product. It's the smallest thing that proves people will pay. The job is to get a real, billing-capable product in front of real users quickly, learn from them, and avoid pouring months into features nobody wanted. That focus is the whole point.
I build SaaS MVPs solo, which means there are no agency layers, no account managers, and no telephone game between the person who understands your idea and the person writing the code. You talk directly to the developer making the architecture decisions. I've taken my own products, FixSlip and Lokvio, from zero to live this way, so the process is battle-tested on my own money, not just client briefs.
Every MVP ships with the unglamorous foundations that decide whether a SaaS survives: multi-tenant workspace architecture, Stripe or Polar.sh billing with subscriptions and webhooks, an onboarding flow, and a privacy and compliance baseline. AI integration such as chatbots, generation, and automation gets added when it genuinely improves the product, using providers like Groq, Gemini, or Cloudflare Workers AI.
Who this is for
- Founders validating a recurring-revenue product idea
- Non-technical founders who need a technical partner, not just a coder
- Bootstrappers who want to launch lean and start charging quickly
- Teams adding an AI-powered feature or product to an existing business
What's included
- Everything in Custom Web App, plus:
- Stripe / Polar.sh billing: subscriptions, trials, webhooks
- Multi-tenancy / workspace architecture
- Onboarding flow & welcome email sequence
- Privacy & compliance baseline (PIPEDA / GDPR options)
- AI integration if required (Groq, Gemini, CF Workers)
How it works
- 1
Scope the MVP
We cut the idea down to the core loop that proves value, decide what's in v1 and what waits, and lock a written scope and fixed price range. Saying no to features here is where MVPs are won.
- 2
Foundation & billing
I build multi-tenant architecture, authentication, and Stripe or Polar.sh billing first, since those are the parts that are painful to retrofit, so the product can take money from day one.

Core product & AI
The feature that makes your product worth paying for gets built and refined, with AI integration layered in where it adds real value rather than as a gimmick.
- 4
Launch & iterate
We ship to production, wire up onboarding and welcome emails, and hand over the full repository. From there, a retainer covers the fast iteration that early users will demand.

SaaS MVP Development FAQ
- How much does it cost to build a SaaS MVP?
- SaaS MVPs start at $8,000 USD and typically range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on scope, integrations, compliance needs, and how much AI work is involved. You get a fixed range before any work starts.
- How long does it take to build an MVP?
- Most SaaS MVPs take 6 to 10 weeks from approved scope to launch. The biggest variable is scope discipline: the tighter the v1, the faster you get to real users and real feedback.
- Do you build the billing and subscriptions too?
- Yes. Subscriptions, trials, multiple pricing tiers, and webhooks with Stripe or Polar.sh are a standard part of every MVP build, so your product can charge customers from launch.
- Can you add AI features to my SaaS?
- Yes, including chatbots, content generation, document processing, and automation using providers like Groq, Gemini, and Cloudflare Workers AI. I add AI where it improves the product, with fallbacks for reliability, rather than bolting it on for the label.
- Do I own the product and the code?
- Completely. You own 100% of the code, design, and IP on final payment, delivered in your own GitHub repository and deployed to your own accounts. No lock-in.
