SaaS Development
Multi-tenant architecture that scales without rewriting
SaaS applications built on foundations that handle 10 customers and 10,000 the same way. Architecture decisions made right the first time.
The global SaaS market reached $315.68 billion in 2025, projected to hit $1.48 trillion by 2034. Up to 70% of business apps are SaaS-based, expected to rise to 85% by end of 2025. 95% of organizations will adopt AI-powered SaaS by 2025. 61% of companies now use hybrid pricing (subscription + usage), up from 49% in 2024. Per-user pricing still leads at 57% but is declining. Companies using hybrid models report the highest median growth rate at 21%. The architecture decisions you make at the start determine whether you can capitalize on these trends or get stuck rewriting.
Multi-tenancy: the decision that matters most
71% of public cloud subscriptions use multi-tenant architecture. The three main patterns: shared database with tenant ID (simplest, cheapest, best for early stage), shared database with separate schemas (stronger isolation, easier per-tenant restores), and database-per-tenant (greatest isolation, highest cost, required for regulated industries).
We help you choose the right pattern for your stage and regulatory requirements. Most early-stage SaaS should start with shared database + tenant ID. It is the simplest, cheapest, and tenant provisioning is a row insert, not an infrastructure deployment. You can always migrate to stronger isolation later if your largest customers require it.
Pricing architecture
Your pricing model is a product decision, not a finance decision. 77% of the largest software companies incorporate consumption-based pricing. Median entry-level price is $29/user/month, up 11% year over year. Freemium to paid conversion runs 2 to 5%. Free trial to paid runs 15 to 30%. Transparent pricing increases conversion by 20 to 30%.
We build the metering, billing integration, and plan management infrastructure alongside the product. Not as an afterthought. Stripe Billing, Lago, or custom metering depending on your pricing complexity.
FAQ
Fair questions.
Ask us directlyShould we start with single-tenant or multi-tenant?
Multi-tenant, almost always. Single-tenant costs grow linearly with customers and becomes unsustainable quickly. Start with shared database + tenant ID unless you have a specific regulatory reason for isolation.
How long does SaaS MVP development take?
8 to 14 weeks for a focused MVP with core features, authentication, multi-tenancy, and billing integration. 14 to 24 weeks for a more complete product with admin dashboards, team management, and integrations.
What tech stack do you recommend for SaaS?
React 18 + TypeScript frontend, Supabase or custom PostgreSQL backend, Vercel or AWS deployment. For billing: Stripe Billing or Lago. For auth: Supabase Auth or Auth.js. We select based on your specific requirements, not framework preference.
