Q: How much does SaaS development cost?

A SaaS MVP typically costs $30-60K , a full product with billing, auth and analytics $60-150K , and ongoing development $8-20K/month . The biggest cost drivers are the number of core workflows, integrations, compliance requirements (such as HIPAA or SOC 2) and how much AI the product needs. Estimate your cost .

Q: How long does it take to build a SaaS product?

A focused MVP ships in 6-8 weeks : two weeks of scope and architecture, four weeks of build, a week of testing and hardening, then launch. A full multi-tenant product usually follows over the next few months, released in increments rather than one big launch.

Q: Should we start with an MVP or build the full SaaS product?

Start with an MVP if you still need to prove that customers will pay: one core workflow, live with real users in 6-8 weeks. Build the full product when demand is proven and you need billing tiers, roles, integrations and enterprise controls. We design the MVP so it grows into the full product without a rewrite.

Q: Do we need a discovery phase before development?

Yes, but a short one. The first two weeks of every MVP cover scope, data model, tenant strategy and a clickable prototype, so development starts on decisions you have already approved rather than on assumptions.

Q: How do I choose a SaaS development company?

Ask for SaaS-specific proof (multi-tenancy, billing, compliance), not just web apps. Ask who owns the code, what happens after launch, and how pricing works: a fixed scope suits a tightly defined MVP, while a monthly team is more honest for an ongoing roadmap. You can open our own SaaS products and check our Clutch reviews before you talk to us.

Q: Do you build multi-tenant SaaS?

Yes, it is our default. We isolate each tenant's data at the database and API layer, test that one customer can never see another's data, and can add a dedicated-instance option for enterprise customers. See single-tenant vs multi-tenant above.

Q: Will the platform scale as we grow?

We build on managed cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure with Terraform), containerised services and autoscaling where it is needed, with monitoring from day one. Scaling is designed into the architecture, not bolted on after the first traffic spike.

Q: Do you handle SaaS billing and subscriptions?

Yes, Stripe, Paddle, or custom billing integration. Trials, plan tiers, usage-based pricing, invoicing, and dunning are all handled, including per-tenant billing like the model running in our own RichAutomate platform.

Q: Can you integrate third-party tools and APIs?

Yes. We build REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks and integrations with the tools your customers already use, such as CRMs, payment providers, calendars and messaging platforms. Our own products integrate with platforms like the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API, Stripe and PayPal.

Q: Can you add AI features to an existing SaaS?

Yes. We add AI-First capabilities to existing products: LLM features, RAG search over each customer's data, AI agents and automation, with evaluation and cost controls so margins hold as usage grows.

Teams we have built for

SaaS Development Services

Full-Stack SaaS Development, AI-Powered

An AI SaaS development company designs, builds and runs subscription software: multi-tenant architecture, billing, authentication, integrations and the AI features customers now expect. Groovy Web ships SaaS MVPs in 6-8 weeks from $30K, and full products for $60-150K, with a 1-week risk-free trial. We build B2B, AI-native, vertical and marketplace SaaS.

Multi-Tenant Architecture

Isolated data, shared infrastructure. Built for scale from day one with proper tenant management.

Subscription & Billing

Stripe, Paddle, or custom billing. Trials, upgrades, downgrades, usage-based pricing, all automated.

Auth & User Management

Single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), team invites and OAuth. Enterprise-ready authentication from the start.

API-First Design

RESTful or GraphQL APIs with auto-generated docs. Ready for integrations and third-party developers.

AI Feature Integration

Large language model (LLM) features, AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), added with production-grade reliability.

Analytics & Dashboards

Real-time analytics, admin panels, usage metrics. Give your customers the data they need.

AI SaaS

AI Features We Ship in Production

RAG Search & Q&A

Answers grounded in each customer's own data, with source citations and access rules per tenant.

AI Agents & Automation

Agents that take action inside your product, with human approval steps and full logging.

LLM Cost Control

Caching, model routing and usage limits per plan. One B2B SaaS client cut AI spend from $14.2K to $1.4K a month.

Evaluation & Guardrails

Test sets, accuracy tracking and output checks, so a model update never silently breaks a workflow.

Document & Data Extraction

Turn messy files, screenshots and PDFs into structured, validated records your product can act on.

In-Product AI Copilots

Assistants that know each user's account and plan, and can explain, draft or take the next step inside your app.

Where you are today

Which SaaS stage are you at?

SaaS teams usually come to us at one of three moments. Pick the one that sounds like yours.

Building an MVP

You need one core workflow in front of paying users before the runway runs out, and agencies are quoting 4-6 months.

Architecture & Compliance

Multi-Tenant Architecture Built for Audits

If your customers send security questionnaires, the architecture has to answer them. We build tenant isolation, audit logs, encryption and least-privilege access in from the first sprint, and prepare the evidence your auditor asks for. For payments, card data stays out of your systems through PCI DSS-compliant tokenised providers. Certification itself comes from your auditor.

SOC 2 B2B SaaS

Access control, change management, logging and monitoring controls built into the platform and pipeline.

GDPR EU customers

Data minimisation, consent, export and deletion flows per tenant.

HIPAA Health data

Encryption, audit trails and access logging for protected health information.

Architecture Decision

Single-Tenant vs Multi-Tenant SaaS: Which Do You Need?

Single-Tenant

Multi-Tenant

Recommended

01 How It Works

Each customer gets their own app instance and database

All customers share one app, with data separated per tenant

02 Cost per Customer

Higher: every customer adds servers and upkeep

Low: shared infrastructure, adding a customer costs little

03 Updates

Each instance updated and tested separately

One release updates every customer at once

04 Isolation & Compliance

Strongest by default, often asked for by banks and hospitals

Strong when designed well: tenant isolation, per-tenant encryption, audit logs

05 Customisation

Deep per-customer changes, higher long-term cost

Configuration per tenant, one shared codebase

06 Best For

Enterprise deals that require dedicated infrastructure

Most B2B SaaS, startups and self-serve products

Multi-Tenant Our default for SaaS

1 Release Updates every tenant

Groovy has been a pleasure to work with. I have worked closely with them for many months now on a large and challenging project. From start to finish the communication has been great, they have worked on bugs and changes without issue and are just nice, hard working people.

Yes. We build REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks and integrations with the tools your customers already use, such as CRMs, payment providers, calendars and messaging platforms. Our own products integrate with platforms like the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API, Stripe and PayPal.

Can you add AI features to an existing SaaS?

Yes. We add AI-First capabilities to existing products: LLM features, RAG search over each customer's data, AI agents and automation, with evaluation and cost controls so margins hold as usage grows.

Will our customer data be used to train AI models?

Not by default. We use the business API tiers of providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which do not use API data to train their models under their standard terms, and we keep each tenant's data separated. Where a client needs it, we can also run open-source models in your own cloud.

How do you handle security and compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)?

We implement the technical controls these frameworks require, such as tenant isolation, audit logs, encryption and access control, run a security review before launch, and prepare the evidence for your auditor. The certification itself is issued by your auditor.

We have an internal tool that works. Can you turn it into a SaaS?

Yes. That usually means adding multi-tenancy, self-serve signup, billing, roles and permissions, and hardening the security and operations around it. We modernise in increments, so the tool keeps working for your team while it becomes a product.

Who owns the code, and can we move development in-house later?

You own 100% of the code and IP, with an NDA signed on day one. The code sits in your repository from the first commit and is documented as we go, so you can move it in-house at any time with a full handover.

What happens after launch?

Most clients stay on a monthly retainer ($8-20K/month) for feature development, performance optimization, and scaling. You can also take the product in-house with a full handover. We become your long-term growth partner.

What if an engineer is not the right fit?

Every engagement starts with a 1-week risk-free trial: if it is not working, you pay nothing. After that, we replace an engineer within 48 hours at no extra cost.

Have you built your own SaaS product?

Yes, three that are live today. RichAutomate is a multi-tenant WhatsApp Business API platform (1L+ messages delivered, 60+ brands). JustShoot is an AI content OS that runs nine specialist AI agents. gStride is an HRMS with time tracking, payroll and global payouts. Most of our client SaaS work is under NDA, so these are the products we can show openly.
