Choosing the wrong builder for a SaaS product is expensive twice: you pay for the first build, then pay again for the rebuild. The original article turns the decision into questions you can ask before signing.
The themes behind the nine questions
- Relevant proof: Has the company shipped SaaS products — with subscriptions, accounts and ongoing users — or only brochure sites and demos?
- Who actually builds it: Will the people you met do the work, and how is the project staffed if someone leaves?
- How billing and accounts are handled: SaaS-specific experience matters in areas like recurring payments, permissions and multi-user data separation.
- Communication and visibility: How often will you see working software, and how are delays or scope changes surfaced?
- Ownership and exit: Do you own the code, infrastructure accounts and documentation, so you are not locked in?
- After launch: What does support look like once real users arrive — fixes, monitoring and small improvements?
- Pricing clarity: What is included, what is assumed, and what triggers extra cost?
Score answers consistently across candidates, be wary of answers that stay vague when you ask for examples, and prefer a small paid discovery over a large leap of faith.
