SaaS cost calculator
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.
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.
How to use it
What moves the number
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
We optimise an existing SaaS product by improving its architecture and performance, strengthening security and adding new features, so the solution stays competitive.
04
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
