Time & Materials Model

For ongoing development and enhancements:

RoleHourly RateMonthly (160h)

๐Ÿ‘จโ€ Full-Stack Developer$60-$80/hour$9,600-$12,800

UI/UX Designer$50-$70/hour$8,000-$11,200
QA Engineer$45-$60/hour$7,200-$9,600

Dedicated SaaS Team

For SaaS products, the work rarely stops at launch โ€” Phase 5 (Production Launch & Scale, above) is explicitly ongoing, and many clients want a persistent team through that phase rather than re-scoping a new fixed-price project for every feature release. A Dedicated SaaS Team works the same way as LLLโ€™s dedicated team model elsewhere: committed team members (architect, full-stack developers, QA, DevOps as needed) at the Time & Materials rates above, retained on a monthly basis rather than billed per task โ€” giving you continuity of people who already understand your codebase and tenant architecture, instead of re-explaining context to a new team for every engagement.

Choosing the Right Engagement Model

Fixed-Price fits an MVP or a well-scoped platform build where the feature list is defined upfront (see the tiers above) โ€” you get a total cost before work starts, and LLL carries the estimation risk. Time & Materials fits ongoing enhancement work with a rolling backlog, where the next priority depends on what beta users or production usage tells you (see Phase 4โ€™s Beta Metrics, above) โ€” you pay for actual effort, not a padded estimate for the unknown. A Dedicated SaaS Team fits the stretch after MVP where the SaaS becomes a continuous product rather than a project with an end date โ€” the same team that built it keeps building on it.


Code, Data, and Infrastructure Ownership

For a SaaS product specifically, โ€œownershipโ€ covers more than the application code โ€” it includes your tenant data, your infrastructure configuration, and whether youโ€™re dependent on LLL to keep the lights on.

  • Code is yours: source code and intellectual property belong to you as the client, the same principle LLL applies across every engagement โ€” with repository access throughout development, not only at handover
  • Infrastructure-as-code, not a black box: Phase 2 deliverables (above) include Terraform/CloudFormation infrastructure templates โ€” your cloud environment is defined in version-controlled code you have access to, not configured manually in a way only LLL can reproduce
  • Standard cloud services, not proprietary lock-in: the SaaS Infrastructure stack (above) is built on AWS/Azure/GCP, Docker, and Kubernetes โ€” standard, portable services rather than a proprietary platform only LLL can operate. Where we integrate a specific third-party tool (Stripe for billing, Auth0 for authentication-as-a-service, and similar), that dependency is on the tool itself, not on LLL as its operator
  • Tenant data stays governed by you: consistent with the Compliance & Data Privacy section below (GDPR, PDPA, regional data residency), your customersโ€™ data is stored in the region and structure you choose, not moved to infrastructure only LLL controls

โ“ SaaS Development FAQs

Q: How long does it take to build a SaaS application from scratch?

A: Timeline depends on complexity:

  • MVP SaaS: 4-6 months (5-8 core features)
  • Full-Featured SaaS: 6-10 months (15+ features)
  • Enterprise SaaS: 10-18 months (complex workflows, integrations)

We follow agile methodology with 2-week sprints, delivering working features iteratively. Youโ€™ll see progress every two weeks, not after months of waiting.

Q: Whatโ€™s the difference between single-tenant and multi-tenant SaaS?

A: Key differences:

Multi-Tenant (Recommended for most SaaS):

  • All customers share same infrastructure (cost-efficient)
  • Data isolated logically (row-level security)
  • Faster deployments (update once, affects all tenants)
  • Lower operational costs
  • Less customization per tenant

Single-Tenant:

  • Dedicated infrastructure per customer (maximum isolation)
  • Unlimited customization
  • Enterprise clients prefer this
  • Higher operational costs
  • Slower feature rollouts

We typically recommend multi-tenant with optional single-tenant for enterprise plans.

Q: How do you handle data security in multi-tenant SaaS?

A: Our multi-layered security approach:

  1. Application-Level: Row-level security (every query filtered by tenant_id)
  2. Database-Level: PostgreSQL row-level security policies
  3. Encryption: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
  4. Access Control: RBAC ensures users only see their tenantโ€™s data
  5. Audit Logging: Complete trail of data access and modifications
  6. Regular Audits: Quarterly penetration testing and security reviews

Q: Can you integrate payment processing for my SaaS?

A: Absolutely! We specialize in SaaS billing:

  • ๐Ÿ’ณ Stripe Integration: Credit card processing, subscriptions, invoicing
  • ๐ŸŒ Regional Payment Methods: FPX (Malaysia), PayNow (Singapore), GrabPay, Touch โ€˜n Go

  • ๐Ÿ”„ Subscription Management: Upgrades, downgrades, proration, trials
  • Automated Billing: Invoice generation, payment reminders, dunning
  • Revenue Analytics: MRR, ARR, churn rate dashboards

Q: What happens after launch? Do you provide ongoing support?

A: Comprehensive post-launch support:

  • Maintenance & Bug Fixes: Included in all packages (3-6 months)
  • Feature Enhancements: Add new features based on user feedback
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Continuous Deployment: Weekly releases with new improvements
  • Performance Optimization: Ongoing monitoring and tuning

SaaS Development Success Stories

Tsunagu: Building a Multi-Country Classified Ads Platform

Our Journey Building a Real Product

We identified a gap in the overseas Japanese community: no dedicated, Japanese-language classified ads platform existed for ASEAN. Existing options were fragmented across Facebook groups and outdated bulletin boards.

What We Built:

  • Multi-Country Platform: 6 ASEAN countries with country-specific listings, currencies, and time zones
  • 6 Listing Categories: Buy/Sell, Real Estate, Jobs, Services, Community, Q&A โ€” covering all aspects of life abroad
  • AI-Powered Safety: Claude AI moderation for text and images, plus AI description generation
  • Real-Time Communication: Firebase-based chat and notification system
  • Modern Tech Stack: Next.js 15, Supabase, Firebase, Vercel โ€” built for reliability and developer velocity
  • Community-First Model: Completely free for all users, lowering barriers to adoption

Key Learnings:

  • User-Centric Design: Japanese UI and familiar UX patterns drove engagement
  • ๐ŸŒ Regional Complexity: Multi-country support required careful handling of currencies, time zones, and local regulations
  • AI Integration: Claude AI moderation significantly reduced manual review workload
  • Iterative Development: Rapid feature iteration based on real user feedback
  • Lean Infrastructure: Supabase + Vercel provided production-grade infrastructure without DevOps overhead

We apply these learnings to every client project.
