A SaaS MVP that finds out who will subscribe
Accounts, one workflow, and a way to pay, ahead of the full platform.
SaaS MVP development starts with the one job a customer would pay for every month, not the feature list. We build sign-in, that workflow, and a simple way to charge, with each customer's data kept separate from the first table. Real accounts use it, and the activation numbers tell you whether to build the rest.
The short answer
A SaaS MVP is the smallest subscription product that lets real accounts sign in, do one job, and pay. We build sign-up, one core workflow, a manual or hosted billing path, and per-customer data separation, then track the activation event that shows whether new accounts find value before you fund the full platform.
What it does
- Sign-up, sign-in, and password reset for the first customer accounts
- The one workflow a subscriber would come back to each week
- A billing path: invoiced by hand at first, or a hosted checkout page
- Each customer account's data kept apart from the first database table
- Event tracking on the activation step the MVP exists to measure
- An admin view of who signed up and what they did next
Best for
Founders and product teams with a subscription software idea who need paying accounts, not a demo, before they fund the full platform.
What you provide
- The customer you picture paying monthly, and the job they would pay for
- The moment that would tell you a new account got real value
- Early users, a waitlist, or a pilot customer willing to try it
[HOW WE'D BUILD IT]
We decide tenancy before we draw the first screen
Tenancy settled on day one
Every record belongs to a customer account from the start, so one company never sees another's data. Adding that separation after launch means reworking every query in the product, so we settle it in the spec instead of a later sprint.
One job done end to end
We pick the workflow a subscriber would open the product for and build all of it: the input, the result, and the email that brings them back. Settings pages, integrations, and the dashboard wish list wait until usage says they matter.
Track the moment of value
Before launch we agree on the activation event, the action that shows a new account got what it came for, and track it from the first sign-up. Billing starts as an invoice or a hosted checkout link, so you learn who pays without building a billing system.
From the first paying accounts to a platform customers run on
[TALK TO A BUILDER]
Describe the account that would renew each month
Our first call covers who pays and what they get for it. From there, paid discovery picks the workflow, the billing path, and the activation event to build first.
Accounts from day one
Each customer's data sits in its own account from the first migration, ready for teams later.
An activation number
You launch knowing which event counts as a new account getting value, and you can watch it move.
Billing that can grow
Start with invoices or a hosted checkout, then add usage pricing once the plans settle.
Your repository
The code, the database, and the cloud accounts behind them belong to your company.
