How Much Does SaaS Development Cost and How Long Does It Take?
A SaaS MVP built by Join.To.IT starts from $9,600 and usually takes 2–4 months. A production-ready v1 starts from $28,800 and takes 4–8 months. Each stage is a fixed-price package for an agreed scope, so you know the total before the first sprint.
| Stage | What is included | Typical timeline | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS MVP | Sign-up and onboarding, the core workflow, subscription billing, user roles and an admin panel, deployed to the cloud on a multi-tenant base | 2–4 months | From $9,600 |
| Production v1 | Integrations with the tools your customers use, reporting, automated tests, monitoring, backups and audit logs | 4–8 months | From $28,800 |
| Scaling | SSO and compliance work, data migration, performance and cloud cost tuning, high availability and a long-term team | 8+ months, often ongoing | From $57,600 |
The price depends mostly on the number of user roles and workflows, the integrations (payments, CRM, ERP, SSO), compliance requirements such as HIPAA or SOC 2, AI features, and the state of any existing code. The figures above are starting points for the minimum scope of each stage; we give a fixed estimate after a short call about your scope.
