What affects the cost of a SaaS MVP
- How much of the product goes into the first version. A tight MVP launches sooner and costs less.
- Billing rules: free trials, several plans, usage-based pricing and invoices.
- Teams and permissions, where several users share one account with different roles.
- Integrations with the other tools your customers already use.
The other big factor is who builds it. This estimate uses offshore team rates of about $19 an hour. The same work at a typical US or Western European agency rate would cost around $64,000.
