Quick Answer: In 30 seconds

We build SaaS MVPs on Next.js + Supabase + Stripe for $8,000-25,000 fixed-price, delivered in 4-8 weeks. Scope includes auth, real Stripe billing, one core feature loop, admin dashboard, transactional email, and landing page. You own 100% of the code and all accounts. As of May 2026 we are accepting 2 new projects this quarter.

What you actually get

  • Auth that works — Supabase Auth with email + Google sign-in, magic links, password reset, session management.
  • Real Stripe billing — production mode, webhooks handling subscription state changes, customer portal, dunning for failed payments.
  • One core feature loop — the thing your users actually pay for. Built well. Tested. Loaded.
  • Admin dashboard — signups, MRR, churn, active users, user impersonation for debugging.
  • Transactional email — welcome, password reset, payment receipts, churn warnings. Wired to Resend with your domain authenticated.
  • Landing page — hero, pricing, FAQ, social proof slots. Tailwind + shadcn so you can edit copy without us.
  • Deployment — pushed to your Vercel account, your domain, your Supabase, your Stripe. Env vars documented.

The stack and why

Next.js 16 App Router on Vercel for the frontend + API routes. Supabase for Postgres + Auth + Storage + Realtime (one vendor, four problems solved, fair pricing past the free tier). Stripe for billing because nobody has built a better payments API. Resend for email because the alternatives are slower and more expensive at scale. Tailwind + shadcn/ui for the design system because it ships faster than custom CSS and looks better than Material UI.

Boring stack on purpose. The next developer in 12 months will not need to learn a new framework to understand it. Total monthly hosting at $0 MRR is $0 (Vercel hobby + Supabase free + Resend free). At $10K MRR you will pay roughly $60/month in infrastructure.

Pricing tiers

  • Lean MVP — $8,000-12,000. Auth + Stripe + one core feature + admin + landing. 4-6 weeks.
  • AI-feature MVP — $12,000-18,000. Above + a Claude or OpenAI integration (chat, generation, summarization, classification) with rate limiting and cost controls. 6-7 weeks.
  • Collaborative MVP — $18,000-25,000. Multi-user features (shared workspaces, real-time editing, permissions, invites). Marketplace patterns also live here. 7-8 weeks.
  • Ongoing maintenance — $1,500/month after delivery. Bug fixes, dependency updates, small feature additions. Cancel anytime.

How we differ from typical dev shops

Most agencies want a $50,000-100,000 contract with a 6-month timeline and 4 people billing against you. We work solo or with one collaborator, ship in 4-8 weeks, and price for the actual scope of "first version that proves people will pay." If you need 6 months of work, you do not need an MVP — you need a Series A.

You can also try Lovable first for free if your idea is a standard CRUD pattern — we are happy to take the rescue project later if Lovable hits its ceiling.

When NOT to hire us

  • You have not talked to 10 potential customers yet. Go do that first — landing page + Stripe checkout link costs $0.
  • Your SaaS is in healthcare (HIPAA), legal, or financial services and you do not have a compliance officer.
  • You want to pay in equity instead of cash. Not how we work.
  • You expect the MVP to scale to 1M users on day one. It scales to 5,000-10,000 active users comfortably.
  • You want us to also do marketing, sales, and growth. We build software.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "MVP" actually mean in your scope?
A SaaS MVP for us means: signup/login (Supabase Auth with Google/email), Stripe subscription billing (one or two pricing tiers), one core feature loop that delivers the value prop, an admin dashboard for you to see usage, transactional email (Resend), and a marketing landing page. We do not include: complex analytics dashboards, multi-tenancy, white-labeling, mobile apps, or anything you can defer until you have paying customers. The point of an MVP is to find out if anyone will pay, not to build everything.
What is the typical timeline and process?
Week 1: scoping + design (we deliver a clickable Figma prototype and finalized scope document). Weeks 2-6: build (you see daily commits on a private GitHub repo, weekly screen-share demos). Week 7: hardening + Stripe live mode + deployment to your Vercel account. Week 8: handoff, documentation, and 30 days of bug-fix support included. Total 4-8 weeks depending on complexity.
How much does it cost?
Fixed-price quotes based on scope. Most SaaS MVPs land in the $8,000-25,000 range. Simple subscription billing + one core feature + admin = $8,000-12,000. Adds an AI feature using Claude/OpenAI = $12,000-18,000. Multi-user collaboration or marketplace patterns = $18,000-25,000. 50% deposit, 50% on production deploy. As of May 2026 we are accepting 2 new MVP projects.
What stack do you use and why?
Next.js 16 (App Router) on Vercel, Supabase for Postgres + Auth + Storage + Realtime, Stripe for billing, Resend for email, Tailwind + shadcn/ui for UI. This is the most boring, well-documented stack possible. When you hand it off to your next developer (or yourself in 12 months), they will not struggle to understand it. We do not use exotic frameworks or self-hosted infrastructure unless your business model requires it.
Will I own the code? Can I take it to another developer afterwards?
Yes. You own 100% of the source code, the GitHub repo, the Vercel project, the Supabase project, and the Stripe account. All accounts are created in your name with your email. No vendor lock-in to us. The README documents the deploy pipeline, the env vars, and the core architecture so any competent Next.js developer can pick it up.
Should I use Lovable or Bolt.new instead and save money?
Honest answer: try them first. If your idea is a CRUD app with auth and Stripe, Lovable will ship a working version in a weekend for free. If that version validates with users, great — you saved $10,000. If it breaks under load (which often happens past 100 users), we offer a separate Lovable rescue service starting at $999. We come in when no-code tools hit their ceiling, not before.
Do you do equity deals or take a percentage of revenue?
No. Fixed-price project work only. We tried equity arrangements twice in 2025 and both times it created weird incentive misalignment. Pay us cash, own 100% of your company, move faster. If you cannot afford $8,000 for an MVP, you may not be ready to start a SaaS — consider validating with a $0 landing page first.
What kinds of SaaS have you built?
In the past 12 months: a notion-style writing tool for solo founders, a Shopify analytics dashboard for stores doing $50K-500K/month, an AI cold-email generator with Claude integration, a real-time appointment booking system for service businesses, and a niche B2B CRM for fitness coaches. We turn down: regulated industries (health, legal, finance) without an existing compliance team, NFT/crypto projects, and Uber-for-X marketplaces.
