SaaS Development
Typical engagement: $15k–$80k · 6–16 weeks
What this is
Ubikon builds multi-tenant SaaS platforms architected for the second hundred customers, not just the first — billing, roles and permissions, an admin panel, and usage analytics built in from the start rather than retrofitted after growth makes them urgent. A typical build runs $15k–$80k across 6–16 weeks depending on the number of user roles and integrations.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, not a vague promise.
- —Multi-tenant data architecture designed for your actual growth plan, not a single-tenant app renamed
- —Stripe billing wired to real plan logic: upgrades, downgrades, proration, dunning
- —Role-based access control covering every permission boundary the product needs on day one
- —An admin panel for your own team to manage customers without touching the database directly
- —CI/CD, typed API layer, and full documentation — all in the private repo handed over at completion
How we build it
Stack and architecture for a typical build.
Next.js for the frontend and API routes, PostgreSQL for multi-tenant data with row-level security where the isolation model calls for it, and Stripe for billing — the same stack we run our own tools on.
Pricing
Where the number comes from.
The $15k–$80k range above is priced from real delivery data across 300+ completed projects — not a day rate multiplied by a guess. A full itemized breakdown by phase is available on a scoping call, or get a rough one now from the calculator below.

Building custom SaaS vs a no-code platform
No-code platforms are genuinely faster to a demo. Here is where each one actually holds up.
| Custom-built (Ubikon) | No-code platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first demo | 4-6 weeks typically | Days |
| Cost at scale (thousands of tenants) | Predictable, you own the infra | Per-seat/usage fees compound quickly |
| Data ownership and export | Full ownership, your database | Platform-dependent, often limited |
| Best fit | A real, ongoing product you plan to scale and own | Validating an idea before committing real budget |

Store submission is not relevant here, but infra, monitoring and a monthly plan are.
Straight answers
What buyers ask about this service
How much does it cost to build a SaaS platform? +
Most builds run $15,000–$80,000. The range is driven mainly by the number of distinct user roles, third-party integrations, and how complex the billing logic needs to be — a simple single-role subscription product sits at the lower end.
Do you build multi-tenancy in from the start? +
Yes — retrofitting multi-tenancy onto a single-tenant app later is expensive and risky. The data architecture is designed for your actual tenant/isolation model before any other code is written.
What billing provider do you use? +
Stripe by default, wired to real plan logic — upgrades, downgrades, proration and failed-payment handling — not just a checkout button.
Can you take over an existing SaaS codebase? +
Yes, starting with a codebase audit against our published standards so you know what you're inheriting before we quote further work.
