Keep renting your software - or build your own?

When you pay per seat and your team keeps growing, when you pay for features you don’t use - or work around ones that are missing - and when the tool is core to how you run. The calculator shows the money side; the fit with how you work matters just as much.

Month by month. SaaS costs your number of users times the price per user, with both rising once a year by the growth and price-rise rates you set. A custom build is paid once, then maintenance and hosting every month. The break-even point is the first month the build’s running total drops below what SaaS would have cost.

The one-off cost to design, build, test and launch your version - including moving your data across and training the team. If you don’t have a quote yet, ask for one: most internal tools are scoped in a single call.

Because it scales with how much there is to look after. Around 15% a year covers bug fixes, security updates and small improvements for most business tools - more if you plan to keep adding features.

Usually, yes - there’s no upfront cost. The question is how the lines cross over time. Per-seat pricing grows with every hire and every price rise, while a build you own costs roughly the same whether ten people use it or a hundred.
