Time & Materials Model
For ongoing development and enhancements:
| Role | Hourly Rate | Monthly (160h) |
|---|---|---|
| ๐๏ธ Senior SaaS Architect | $100-$130/hour | $16,000-$20,800 |
| ๐จโ Full-Stack Developer | $60-$80/hour | $9,600-$12,800 |
| โ๏ธ Frontend Developer (React/Next.js) | $55-$75/hour | $8,800-$12,000 |
| ๐ข Backend Developer (Node.js/Python) | $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 LLLโs 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 4โs 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, โownershipโ covers more than the application code โ it includes your tenant data, your infrastructure configuration, and whether youโre 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. Youโll see progress every two weeks, not after months of waiting.
Q: Whatโs 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:
- Application-Level: Row-level security (every query filtered by tenant_id)
- Database-Level: PostgreSQL row-level security policies
- Encryption: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
- Access Control: RBAC ensures users only see their tenantโs data
- Audit Logging: Complete trail of data access and modifications
- Regular Audits: Quarterly penetration testing and security reviews

A: Absolutely! We specialize in SaaS billing:
- ๐ณ Stripe Integration: Credit card processing, subscriptions, invoicing

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.

- 6 Listing Categories: Buy/Sell, Real Estate, Jobs, Services, Community, Q&A โ covering all aspects of life abroad

- 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
- ๐ 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.
