Business Idea:
A platform that provides transparent, real-world cost benchmarks and affordable MVP development packages for SaaS founders, helping them plan budgets realistically and access quality development within tight budgets.
Problem:
Many SaaS founders and project managers struggle to determine realistic development costs, often underestimating or overestimating expenses, leading to misaligned budgets and failed launches.
Solution:
Create a service that crowdsources, analyzes, and shares typical MVP development costs and offers vetted, affordable development packages tailored to different budget levels, with transparent pricing insights.
Target Audience:
Early-stage SaaS founders, startup teams, freelance developers, and project managers seeking cost-effective ways to build MVPs without compromising quality.
Monetization:
Subscription plans for access to cost benchmarks, tiered service packages for MVP development, and premium consulting for budget planning and project scoping.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Combines crowdsourced market data with vetted, affordable development solutions, empowering founders to make informed decisions and avoid underfunded, low-quality MVPs.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple website collecting real-world MVP costs from early users, create a curated list of budget-friendly freelance or agency teams, and promote via SaaS communities and startup networks to validate demand.
