When off-the-shelf is enough
- The process is standard: accounting, email, basic CRM.
- The tool covers 80% or more of what you need.
- You're still figuring out how the process should work.
Signs it's time to build
- Your team uses spreadsheets and copy-paste to connect three or more tools.
- You pay for many seats but use only a fraction of the features.
- Your way of working is what sets you apart, and no tool supports it.
- You want to sell the solution to other businesses.
What does custom software cost?
A focused first version, an MVP, often starts around €15,000. A full SaaS platform with billing, user roles and integrations quickly goes above €50,000. Compare that to what you pay in subscriptions and lost hours over three to five years.
The big advantage: you own it
With custom software, you own the code and the data. No surprise price increases, no features removed, and no limits on what you can add. And if it works well for you, it might work for others too. That's how Stampsy and Agendsy started.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a SaaS?
A focused MVP usually takes two to four months. After that, you keep improving it based on what users need.
Can custom software connect to my existing tools?
Yes. Most modern tools have an API, so your software can exchange data with your accounting, CRM or webshop.
Who maintains the software after launch?
We do, with a maintenance and hosting plan. You can also hand it to your own team, because the code is yours.
