Stop Guessing at the Budget

Sphinx Solutions has built a SaaS cost calculator so you can stop guessing. A few clicks is enough to change how you plan the budget for a subscription product: what it costs to build, whether that is a web application, a mobile app on iOS or Android, or a hybrid of the two.

Cutting costs to maximise value

We understand the pain of spending a lot of money on a product, so our team helps bring the cost down without compromising the quality of the work.

  • Focus on scalable tools
  • Build an MVP first
  • Prioritise the core features
  • Work in an agile way
  • Optimise maintenance
  • Deliver on time

How to use it

In a few easy steps

  1. 1 Pick the industry you want to build your SaaS application for.
  2. 2 Select the target audience and the features you want in the product.
  3. 3 Fine-tune the platforms you need: web, mobile, desktop, or all of them.
  4. 4 Say whether compliance applies, and which standards if it does.
  5. 5 Add any third-party integrations the product will need.
  6. 6 Set a start date, which is also what sets your launch date.

What moves the number

Factors That Affect the Cost

Six things decide what a SaaS build actually costs. The calculator prices the first four; the last two are why an estimate is not a quote.

01

Application complexity and features

The complexity of a SaaS application directly reflects the development cost and the time needed to realise the idea. A simple app can have core functionality like user authentication and data storage. We help you define the critical features, so you get the most return for the least investment.

02

UI/UX design

Getting the design right takes expertise in both craft and usability, and that affects the timeline. Working closely with you, our design team builds an interface that is pleasing to look at and optimised to be functional and intuitive, so the experience is smooth to use.

03

Scalability and performance

Scalability is what lets user volumes and data loads grow without performance suffering. We can scale the infrastructure and hold top-tier performance, which takes careful planning and the right technology choices, so the product is future-proof and equipped to grow.

04

Security and compliance

We make sure a SaaS application is protected from data breaches and unauthorised access, aligning it with security protocols that meet industry standards. Taking a proactive approach to security and compliance, we build to the highest standard.

05

Technology stack and integrations

The right stack is what makes a SaaS application scalable, maintainable and economical. Databases, cloud services, third-party integrations and the front-end and back-end technologies all have a significant effect on how the platform performs.

06

Development team expertise

A skilled team delivers high-quality work on time and on budget. Our developers, designers and strategists are seasoned professionals who bring years of experience to the table, so every part of the platform is built with precision.

What we build

SaaS Development Services

Be it a startup or a settled business, these are the pieces of a SaaS build we take on, from the first interface through to what happens after launch.

01

Custom SaaS application development

Our speciality is developing user-friendly, scalable and secure client-centric SaaS applications. Our team collaborates closely with you to understand the business requirements that best suit you.

02

SaaS integration and API development

We build a bespoke API to combine your SaaS application with other tools, platforms and third-party services seamlessly, so functionality and data flow improve across the whole ecosystem.

03

SaaS product optimisation

We optimise an existing SaaS product by improving its architecture and performance, strengthening security and adding new features, so the solution stays competitive.

04

SaaS UI/UX design

Our designers concentrate on interfaces that are engaging and intuitive. We prioritise usability and aesthetics to give an outstanding experience and promote adoption and retention.

05

SaaS analytics and reporting

We build analytics into the application, giving insight into user behaviour and system performance to help make data-driven decisions, with custom dashboards and reporting tailored to your company.

06

SaaS maintenance and support

We provide support and maintenance for 3 months after launch to keep the application running smoothly, so the platform stays up to date, safe and trustworthy.

How we work

The SaaS Development Method

Sphinx Solutions supports every form of SaaS build with the research and learning that sets us apart. Here is what to expect from the process.

  1. 01

    Ideation and research

    We identify the problem the software will answer, then check the cost in this calculator. We conduct market research to better understand your audience and your competition, and create an MVP.

  2. 02

    Design and prototype

    In the design phase we use simple wireframes and prototypes for the interface, focusing on a layout that is easy to use. We share the designs with users to gather feedback and improve usability.

  3. 03

    Strategic development

    During development we create a secure database, APIs and user authentication for the backend, and a responsive front-end, with modern tools and third-party services such as payment gateways and analytics.

  4. 04

    Testing and quality assurance

    Testing the components confirms everything works together and meets your requirements. Performance and security testing verify that the software runs smoothly under heavy use and protects user data.

  5. 05

    Post-launch support

    After launch we provide 3 months of free support and maintenance, monitoring performance and regularly updating the app with new features, bug fixes and improvements as your user base grows.

Sphinx Solutions has built a SaaS cost calculator to estimate the cost of developing a Software-as-a-Service application. With a few clicks, and accurate information, you get an accurate estimate for your SaaS product. If the platform is in question we offer a hybrid solution, or a web application alongside a mobile app on iOS or Android. You can choose from a range of features, including payment methods, subscription management and authentication. The tool is designed to make budgeting and planning effortless.

Six steps, and a calculated SaaS application that can make your business more streamlined:

  • Go to the SaaS cost calculator.
  • Pick the industry in which you wish to develop your SaaS application.
  • Select the target audience and the features you want to integrate into your application.
  • Fine-tune your needs using the options available on platforms like web, mobile or desktop.
  • Add requirements and integrations, such as the compliance standards that apply.
  • Finally, select the timeline for when you wish development to begin, which sets your launch date.

The calculator generates an estimate using the most prevalent price structures used by SaaS providers. For accurate pricing, we recommend talking to us directly.
