## A Full Build Without the Full Quote

| Route | What It Is | The Catch |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS Development Company | A quote for the full spec | Months and a big bill before the first user |
| Freelancers | Hands for the tasks you define | Nobody owns the architecture |
| In-House Team | Engineers of your own | Months of hiring, salaries before revenue |
| No-Code Builder | A fast start on a platform | Limits, then a rebuild as it grows |
| **Varstatt** | Launch in six weeks, then build on feedback | One task at a time |

## Six Weeks to Launch, Then Real Feedback

| When | Step | What Lands |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1-2 | The Core | Sign-in, the data and the one job users pay for |
| Weeks 3-5 | The Business | Billing, an admin view, the emails users expect |
| **Week 6** | Launch | Edge cases and errors handled, live for real users |
| Week 7 On | Real Feedback | What users do and ask sets each next task |

## Who It's For

**Right For**

- Founders with first customers, a waitlist or pre-sales

- Funded founders who need the product before a team

- Domain experts with buyers ready to pay

- Founders who outgrew an MVP or a no-code version

**Better Elsewhere**

- An idea nobody has tried yet *The MVP, to test if anyone pays*

- A fixed price for a full spec *A fixed-price agency*

- A stack outside JavaScript and TypeScript *A developer of that stack*

## How It Works

A simple, predictable and transparent process that eliminates development headaches.

1. **Subscribe** — After subscribing, you get a dedicated task board. The first six weeks on it lead to launch.
2. **Setup** — I set up the tech, the code and the accounts in your name.
3. **Plan & Develop** — You set the priorities. I build toward launch, one task at a time.
4. **Review & Refine** — You review working software every few days. I revise until you approve.
5. **Progress** — Week six is the launch. After it, user feedback sets the next priority.
6. **Maintain** — You report issues anytime; I handle them first.

## FAQ

### How much does it cost?

$997 a week. Six weeks to launch is $5,982, paid weekly; after that you pay for the weeks you keep building. The free [build cost tool](/discovery/build-cost) sizes your scope.

### How long does it take to build a SaaS?

I recommend six weeks to launch, with the scope cut to fit. Past that, building without users is guessing.

### Why launch first?

Users change the roadmap. Six weeks gets the core live; every week after builds what they use and ask for, not what a spec guessed.

### SaaS development or an MVP?

An [MVP](/x/founders/mvp-development) tests whether anyone will pay. This is for founders who've decided: the launch starts the product, it doesn't test it.

### Why not a SaaS agency?

An agency quotes the full spec before a single user has tried it. Here you pay by the week, launch in six, and build the rest on feedback.

### What's in the first version?

Sign-in, the core job, billing and an admin view: what a paying user needs. Everything else waits for feedback.

### What happens after launch?

The build carries on week by week: features, integrations and fixes, in the order users show. Pause anytime, or hire a team and I [hand over](/jurij/p/isnt-a-solo-developer-a-bus-factor-of-one).

### Do I need to be technical?

No. I make the technical calls and explain the trade-offs in plain words.

### What's the stack?

JavaScript and TypeScript on the [default stack](/principles/delivery/default-stack): React, Next.js, Node.js, Firebase. Web first, installable on phones.

### Who owns it, and can I stop?

You own the code, the accounts and the keys [from day one](/principles/philosophy/client-owns-everything). Stop after any week; what's built stays yours.

### How do I get started?

Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=saas-development-faq), about a minute. I reply the next working day; if it fits, with a first plan and a call invite.

## [Founders × Varstatt](https://varstatt.com/x/founders)

SaaS Development fits founders best: people building a product without a technical co-founder.

- **[Fractional CTO](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/fractional-cto)** "No one makes the technical calls." The calls and the code, every week.

- **[Prototype](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/prototype-development)** "An idea nobody has clicked." The core flow on a live link in one week, one payment.

- **[MVP Development](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/mvp-development)** "An idea, ready to test with paying users." The smallest real product, launched in week 6.

- **SaaS Development (this page)** "Ready to build the whole product." Launched in week 6, then built on real feedback.

- **[PWA Development](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/pwa-development)** "Phones, without three separate apps." One app that installs from a link.

- **[Vibe Coding Rescue](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/project-rescue)** "An app stuck, unsafe, or left by its developer." The bleeding stopped and a plan, in one paid week.

- **[App Modernization](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/app-modernization)** "A V1 that holds the product back." V2 built beside it, until every user moves.

- **[Tech Due Diligence](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/tech-due-diligence)** "A raise or a purchase on the calendar." What diligence will find, ranked, in one paid week.
