The honest answer to “how much does SaaS development cost?” depends on which SaaS, which integrations, and which growth target. One-line pricing usually means discovery was skipped.
Sample scope scenarios (conditional, excl. VAT)
Single-page marketing site (form + CMS): usually below a product MVP band; assumes no deep integrations.
Subscription B2B SaaS MVP (auth, admin, 1–2 integrations): widens the MVP band; payments, SSO, and reporting push toward v1.
Mobile + web together (one critical flow): same screen count, different engineering depth vs web-only.
Decision order: pick phase (MVP/v1/scale), list integrations, then SLA — screen count alone is not comparable across phases.
Illustrative TRY bands (subscription B2B SaaS profile)
TRY ranges match the free project cost estimator (premium boutique bands, excl. VAT). Excludes integrations, migration, compliance, QA, and DevOps unless scoped — not a fixed quote.
| Line item | TRY (excl. VAT) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| MVP / core delivery | ₺550,000–₺1,050,000 | 2-4 months |
| Platform / expanded scope | ₺1,200,000–₺2,200,000 | 4-7 months |
| UI/UX | ₺85,000–₺165,000 | 3-6 weeks |
| Maintenance | ₺35,000–₺65,000 | monthly |
| Phase | Typical scope | Illustrative budget band | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP | One critical flow + measurement | ₺550,000–₺1,050,000 | 2-4 months |
| v1 | Billing, roles, basic admin | ₺1,200,000–₺2,200,000 | 4-7 months |
| Scale | Multi-tenant, observability, performance | ₺1,200,000–₺2,200,000 | 4-7 months |

MVP vs v1 vs scale
MVP: one critical flow + measurement. v1: billing, roles, basic admin. Scale: multi-tenant, observability, performance.
The same screen count requires very different engineering depth at each stage.
Hidden cost drivers
Payments, invoicing, SSO, reporting, and data migration are often missing from first quotes.
AI features are not extra cost — poorly designed AI is refactor cost.
How we clarify budget at Figtures
After a discovery sprint we provide an explicit backlog and phase plan — no surprise scope.
