Ship real software, not slide decks
SaaS MVP development in 6–10 weeks
Stop sketching pitch decks. I build production SaaS MVPs end-to-end in 6 to 10 weeks: Rails + Postgres + Stripe + auth + admin. You ship to real users while competitors are still drafting Figma boards.
What you get
Every MVP ships with the boring 70% done right.
Auth, roles, teams
Email + OAuth login, role-based access, multi-user teams with invitations. Devise or custom, your call.
Stripe subscriptions
Plans, trials, metered usage, taxes, webhooks reconciled. Failed payment dunning works on day one.
Multi-tenant data model
Postgres schema designed for tenant isolation. Indexes that match your real query patterns, not generic ones.
Admin panel
You can find and edit any record without opening a Rails console. Impersonate users to debug support tickets.
Background jobs & emails
Sidekiq for async work. Transactional emails via Postmark or SES. Templates that don’t look like Mailchimp 2012.
Deployed to production
Heroku, Render or your own AWS/GCP. CI on GitHub Actions. Monitoring with Sentry. Backups daily.
How I quote
Every MVP is quoted on scope: features, integrations and timeline. No inflated agency rates, no mid-project surprises.
After a 30-minute call you get a fixed written quote within 24 hours, with deliverables and a delivery schedule.
I take on a limited number of projects per year. I look for clients who want a long-term technical partner, not the lowest bid.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a SaaS MVP?
In the European market, a fixed-scope SaaS MVP built by a senior freelancer typically lands between €6,000 and €20,000 depending on scope. You’ll get an exact written quote for your product within 24 hours of a 30-minute call.
How long does a typical SaaS MVP take?
Most MVPs ship in 6 to 10 weeks. The variable is scope, not speed: a focused tool with auth + one core feature + Stripe ships in 6 weeks; a multi-tenant SaaS with teams, billing tiers and integrations is 10 weeks.
What stack do you use for SaaS MVPs?
Ruby on Rails 7 + PostgreSQL + Stripe + Sidekiq + Hotwire (Turbo/Stimulus) + TailwindCSS, deployed on Heroku or Render. This stack ships fast, scales to thousands of users without rewrites and is easy to hand off to an in-house team.
Do you handle Stripe / payments / subscriptions?
Yes. Stripe Billing for subscriptions, metered usage, multiple plans, taxes via Stripe Tax, webhook reconciliation and a working dunning flow for failed payments. This is included by default in MVP projects.
What about hosting and DevOps?
For most MVPs I deploy to Heroku or Render — minimal DevOps, your team can keep operating it. If you have an existing AWS or GCP setup I can deploy there too. CI runs on GitHub Actions.
Will I own the code?
Yes. The code lives in your GitHub organization from day one. You own everything: source, infrastructure accounts, domains, Stripe account. No proprietary lock-in, no monthly platform fees beyond hosting.
Do you do design too or do I bring a designer?
For MVPs I work from a design system (TailwindUI components or your existing Figma). If you don’t have a designer, I can ship a clean, professional interface using TailwindUI. For pixel-perfect branded design I’ll recommend a designer to pair with.
What happens after launch?
Two paths: (1) hand off code, docs and a recorded walkthrough so your team can take over; (2) an optional monthly retainer for fixes, dependency upgrades and small feature work. Scope and pricing are set in your written quote.
