Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with billing, roles and analytics from day one

Multi-tenant platforms with the unglamorous parts done properly from day one - tenant isolation, subscription billing, roles and usage analytics - so your first paying customer isn't also your first architecture crisis.

This is for you if

The hard part of SaaS isn't the features - it's everything around them

Founders scope the product and forget the platform. Then the first enterprise customer asks for SSO, the second wants their data provably isolated, billing needs proration, and someone has to be able to impersonate a user to debug a ticket. Retrofitting tenancy and billing into a working app is one of the most expensive rewrites in software. We build them in from the first sprint, when they're nearly free.

What you get

Real multi-tenancy

Row-level isolation, per-tenant configuration and an architecture that scales past your first ten customers without a rewrite.

Subscription billing that works

Stripe plans, trials, proration, upgrades, downgrades, dunning and failed-payment recovery - the flows that quietly leak revenue when done badly.

Roles and permissions

Owner, admin and member roles, team invitations, and an audit trail. SSO and SAML when your buyers start asking for them.

Usage analytics and metrics

Activation, retention, MRR and churn on a dashboard - the numbers you need to price the product and the ones an investor will ask for.

An internal admin console

Support impersonation, plan overrides and tenant management, so your team resolves tickets without an engineer running SQL.

A public API and webhooks

Documented, versioned and rate-limited from the start - the thing that turns a tool into a platform customers build on.

How we work

Product & architecture definition

We pin down the tenancy model, the pricing model and the smallest feature set that someone will pay for. Pricing shapes architecture, so it's decided first.

You get: An architecture doc, scope and price

Design system & core flows

Sign-up, onboarding, the main workspace and billing, designed as one system rather than a set of screens.

You get: A design system and clickable prototype

Build the platform, then the product

Auth, tenancy, roles and billing land first, because everything else sits on them. Feature work follows in two-week cycles on a live staging environment.

You get: A working platform every two weeks

Beta, instrument, launch

A closed beta with real tenants, monitoring and analytics wired up, then a public launch with the support tooling already in place.

You get: A live product and your first customers

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a SaaS platform?

A multi-tenant MVP with auth, billing and one core workflow starts at $9,999. A growth-stage platform with an API, admin console and analytics typically runs $20,000–$35,000. Enterprise features like SSO, audit logs and data residency push it higher. You get a fixed quote against a written scope after an architecture call.

How long until I can charge my first customer?

Twelve to fourteen weeks for an MVP that can genuinely take money - that includes tenancy, authentication, Stripe subscriptions and the core workflow. Some clients run a closed beta from week eight on a staging environment with real users.

Why does multi-tenancy have to be decided so early?

Because retrofitting it is one of the most expensive rewrites there is. Tenancy touches every table, every query and every permission check. Building it in during the first sprint costs almost nothing; adding it to a working single-tenant app usually means rewriting the data layer and re-testing everything on top of it.

Do you integrate Stripe, or do I have to?

We do, and we build the parts most projects skip: trials, proration on plan changes, dunning for failed payments, tax handling and the webhook reconciliation that keeps your database in step with Stripe. Half-finished billing is where SaaS products quietly lose revenue.

Can you add SSO and SAML later, or should it be in the first build?

It can be added later without a rewrite, provided the auth layer is built with it in mind - which we do by default. Most clients hold it until an enterprise prospect asks, then it's a two-to-three week piece of work rather than a re-architecture.

Who hosts it, and what does infrastructure cost?

Your AWS, Vercel or DigitalOcean account, set up by us in your name. Early-stage platforms typically run $50–$300 a month; it scales with usage rather than jumping. We size it for what you have, not what you hope for, and set budget alerts so there are no surprise bills.

Will I be locked into your team?

No. The stack is deliberately mainstream - React, Node or Python, PostgreSQL - the code is documented, the infrastructure is defined in code, and everything lives in your accounts. Any competent team can pick it up. Clients stay because it's working, not because leaving is hard.

Do you work with founders who aren't technical?

Most of our SaaS clients aren't. We handle the architecture decisions and explain the trade-offs in plain language when a decision is genuinely yours to make. You'll never be asked to choose a database, but you will be asked how you want to price the product - because that one changes the build.
