SaaS and MVP development, on a fixed quote.
We build SaaS products, MVPs, dashboards and customer portals end to end, on web and mobile. Fixed scope, fixed quote, sized to the project. We start from our own app codebases where they fit, which is why our timelines are in weeks, not quarters.
From $2999. Typically 4-12 weeks. Weekly demos in your repo.

Your options, honestly
There are real alternatives to hiring us, and here's how they trade off.
| Option | Cost | Speed | Accountability | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build it with AI tools | $0-100/mo | Days to months | You debug everything | You can read and judge code |
| Freelancer | $2k-15k | Weeks, varies | One person, availability varies | Well-defined small scope |
| US agency, from scratch | $29k-158k for a SaaS MVP* | Months | Account managers between you and devs | Big budgets, long timelines |
| thefrontkit team | $2999+ | 4-12 weeks typical | The team that built every app on this site | Working software without hiring |
* 580 to 1,060 hours (our estimate for a SaaS MVP from scratch) at the $50 to $149 hourly rates US development firms charge on Clutch. The full math is in our MVP development cost breakdown.

Cost, timelines, working with founders, and why not just use AI tools.
Use AI tools if you have someone who can judge the output. Most of our clients don't want to review code; they want a working system someone is accountable for. We use AI heavily in our own delivery, which is part of why our quotes are weeks, not quarters. You're not paying for typing. You're paying for judgment, integration, and a team that answers when something breaks.
Builds start at $2999 and are quoted fixed-price after a scoping call, sized to what you actually need: a focused MVP scopes very differently from a full SaaS platform. For context, a SaaS MVP built from scratch is roughly 580 to 1,060 engineering hours by our estimate, which comes to about $29,000 to $158,000 at typical US agency rates. You own everything we build.
Most builds take 4 to 12 weeks. Starting from our existing app codebases skips the weeks usually spent on login, roles, layouts and settings, so the time goes into the features your customers pay for.
Yes. You describe what the product has to do, we turn it into a written scope with acceptance criteria and one fixed price, and you click through working software in weekly demos. The code, hosting accounts and domain are yours from day one.
Yes. Custom builds can start from your repo, and we work in it from day one so you see every change.
