Question 1

How much does it cost to build a SaaS product from scratch in 2026?

Accepted Answer

SaaS development in 2026 costs between $15,000 for a basic MVP and $500,000 or more for an enterprise-grade platform. Most early-stage US startups build their first SaaS product in the $25,000 to $100,000 range, depending on features, integrations, and team location.

Question 2

What is a realistic budget for a SaaS MVP?

Accepted Answer

A realistic SaaS MVP budget in 2026 is $15,000 to $40,000. This covers core authentication, a basic dashboard, one primary workflow, and minimal integrations. Very simple products may come in slightly under. Feature-heavy MVPs with multiple user types or complex data logic will exceed this range.

Question 3

What actually happens if the project goes wrong — and what is your accountability?

Accepted Answer

Every software project hits obstacles — scope changes, technical surprises, third-party API issues. Here is what 7Sisters Tech commits to: weekly demo calls so you see real progress, never just promises. Milestone-based payments so you never pay for work that isn't done. A written scope document you approve before a single screen is built. If a mistake is made, it is fixed at 7Sisters Tech's cost, not yours. Every project has been delivered to completion — you can verify this by speaking directly to any past client.

Question 4

If we part ways, can another developer understand and continue the codebase you built?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is designed from day one. Every project includes inline code documentation, a README for every repository, and a technical handover document on completion. Industry-standard conventions are followed for React Native, Flutter, and Node.js so any competent developer can continue the work without involvement from 7Sisters Tech. Clients are actively encouraged to have their own developers review the code mid-project — if it doesn't pass their review, it is fixed before the next milestone payment is released.

Question 5

Who actually builds our product — and will the people we meet be the people doing the work?

Accepted Answer

The founders — Sagar and Hiten — are involved in every project from scoping to delivery. 7Sisters Tech is not a large agency that hands work to a junior team after the sales call. Every project is reviewed, architected, and overseen by the same people you speak to. The team is intentionally small — fewer projects are taken on to ensure better quality. If the quality or attention ever falls short of what was promised, you have the founder's direct contact and the right to call that out immediately.

Question 6

We are based in the USA or UK — will the timezone difference actually cause problems?

Accepted Answer

Timezone is only a problem when communication is chaotic — and at 7Sisters Tech it is not. For US clients, a standing weekly call is held at 8–10am EST. For UK clients, overlap runs from 12pm–3pm GMT. Every working day you receive an async update via Slack or Notion covering what was built, what is next, and what needs your input — so you wake up informed without needing a live call. Loom video walkthroughs are used for complex updates so you can review progress on your own schedule.

Question 7

How do you handle scope changes — and can the price increase after we agree on a number?

Accepted Answer

Fixed-scope projects have a fixed price — period. If something was missed during scoping, that is 7Sisters Tech's error to fix at no additional cost. If you request something genuinely new and outside the agreed scope, a separate change order is raised with a clear cost and timeline before any work begins. You will never receive a surprise invoice. The only way costs change is if you choose to change them — and every change order is approved by you in writing before any work proceeds.

Question 8

Do you just build what we ask, or do you push back when something won't work?

Accepted Answer

7Sisters Tech pushes back — respectfully and with reasoning. If a requested feature would hurt the user experience or add unnecessary technical complexity, it is flagged clearly with an explanation and an alternative suggestion. The client is always the final decision-maker. But the role of the development partner is to protect the product's quality, not just execute instructions. Clients who have experienced this approach have consistently valued it by the time the project launches.

Question 9

What happens after launch — if something breaks at 2am our time, what do we do?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes a 60-day post-launch support period at no additional cost. Any bug resulting from the development work is fixed for free, with a maximum 24-hour response time. For critical production outages, an emergency contact channel is available with a response within 4 hours regardless of timezone. After the 60-day window, structured monthly maintenance packages are available so there is always an accountable partner responsible for the product's health.

Question 10

Do you build CRM and ERP from scratch or only customise Odoo?

Accepted Answer

Both. We build fully custom systems from scratch using React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. We also customise Odoo deeply - custom Python modules, workflow automation, and third-party integrations. We recommend the right path during the free discovery call based on your requirements.

Question 11

How is custom CRM different from ready-made software?

Accepted Answer

Ready-made software is built for the average business. A custom CRM is built around your specific workflow, roles, and rules from scratch - no platform constraints, no seat licensing, no features you will never use.

Question 12

How long does a custom CRM or ERP take to build?

Accepted Answer

A focused CRM typically takes 12 to 16 weeks. An ERP with inventory, HR, and finance modules is typically 20 to 28 weeks. An Odoo customisation with one or two modules is typically 4 to 8 weeks.

Question 13

Who owns the code after the project?

Accepted Answer

You own everything - full source code, repositories, database schema, and documentation, all transferred on completion. No lock-in of any kind.

Question 14

What happens after launch if something breaks?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes a 60-day post-launch support period at no cost. Defects fixed within 24 hours. Critical outages within 4 hours regardless of timezone.
