SaaS remains one of the most scalable and profitable startup models in 2025, but let’s be honest, most founders are being quoted ridiculous MVP prices.
You’ll often hear numbers like $50K to $100K for what’s essentially a basic MVP.
The truth?
With the right architecture, modular stacks, and a globally distributed engineering team, a production-ready SaaS MVP can be built for $8K–$15K, not $100K.
At AIGENIX, we don’t connect clients to developers, we build products.
Our in-house and global teams handle everything end-to-end, from UX and architecture to deployment and scaling.
Why Most Founders Still Overpay?
Startups often burn unnecessary cash because they:
Hire expensive, local-only agencies.
Overbuild MVPs with non-essential features.
Rebuild halfway through chasing new frameworks.
Ignore DevOps or compliance until it’s too late.
Every one of these mistakes inflates cost and delays launch.
Smart founders know how to validate fast, launch lean, and scale with data.
Realistic SaaS Development Costs in 2025
Here’s what it actually costs to build a SaaS MVP in 2025 (realistic, not inflated agency rates):
| Stage | What’s Included | Realistic Cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & Planning | Feature mapping, wireframes | $800 – $2,000 |
| MVP Build | Auth, dashboard, payments, core logic | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Design & UX | Branding, layouts, responsive flows | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Integrations & APIs | Stripe, AI, third-party APIs | $2,000 – $6,000 |
| Advanced Features | Analytics, team roles, automation | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Security & Compliance | Encryption, GDPR readiness | $2,000 – $5,000 |
| Infrastructure & CI/CD | Hosting, scaling, monitoring | $1,000 – $3,000 |
| Testing & QA | Manual + automated testing | $1,000 – $2,500 |
| Total (MVP Range) | Complete SaaS product | $8K – $35K+ |
Traditional agencies quoting $50K–$150K for the same build?
They’re usually billing for overhead, middle management, and slow workflows, not better engineering.
