In this guide
This page describes what a SaaS build with Simple Automation Solutions includes, how long it takes, what it costs and what it does not cover. It is written for founders deciding whether to build a software-as-a-service product on Bubble.io, and for anyone comparing studios.
What do we mean by a SaaS build?
A SaaS product is subscription software that many customers use online while each sees only their own data. A build is the design and development of the first working version, a minimum viable product, ready for real customers. See how to validate a SaaS idea and how multi-tenant architecture works.
What does a SaaS MVP build include?
| Component | What we build |
|---|---|
| Accounts and onboarding | Sign-up, login, password reset and a guided first-run experience |
| Multi-tenant data | Customer accounts with separated data and privacy rules |
| Roles and permissions | Owner, admin and member roles as scoped |
| Core workflow | The three to five actions that deliver the product’s value |
| Subscription billing | Plans, trials, upgrades and failed-payment handling through a payment provider, as scoped |
| Email notifications | Confirmations and reminders, set up to reach inboxes |
| Admin tools | A view to manage customers, plans and support |
| Analytics hooks | Events for activation and retention so you can learn |
| Testing and launch | Multi-account testing, a test version and a launch routine |
What is typically left for later?
- Native mobile apps, unless needed for launch.
- Large numbers of integrations.
- Complex reporting and analytics dashboards.
- Advanced enterprise features such as single sign-on.
- Elaborate custom design beyond a clean, consistent interface.
Keeping the first version lean is what keeps cost and timeline sensible. See what to cut before you build.
How does the project run?
- Free Idea Audit (30 minutes). We discuss your idea, customer and what a first version looks like.
- Discovery Sprint ($345). A PRD with scope, user flows, plans and limits, data model, architecture, cost and timeline within 24 hours, credited toward the build.
- Build. On a separate test version, with regular demos.
- Launch. Testing, launch and a small first group of customers.
- Iterate. Improvements and support from $35 per hour, with no retainers or minimums.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on the PRD. The main drivers are the number of user flows, integrations, whether you need web or mobile and the complexity of the data. Typical launches take 2 to 6 weeks. Running costs include the Bubble plan and workload units, payment provider fees and support. See our Bubble.io cost guide, workload units and realistic build schedules.
