How often do you build 'essential but non-core' features?

How often do you build 'essential but non-core' features for your #SaaS product?

For e.g. features like login, user profile, dashboard etc. are essential for user flow but not the 'core' USP of your product.

Would you use any plugins / pre-packaged solutions to handle these features?

I'm personally of the opinion that the "essential but non-core" features aren't something you should build yourself.

There are plenty of SaaS boilerplates on the market that you can buy for a small fee (small in comparison to the number of hours you'll otherwise spend building them).

Makes sense! :)

But I wonder if it is available for all kinds of features - for example, to manage profiles of users, how would one do that? Getting them to update their profile pictures, their particulars etc.
