Replace the SaaS you rent with software you own
We find the subscriptions your business is overpaying for, build replacements around how you actually work, move your data over, and put everything in your name: the code, the database, the domain, and the hosting. The monthly running cost is usually a fraction of what you pay now.
Why this is possible now
Building custom software used to cost more than a decade of subscriptions. AI development tools have changed that math. A tool that would have taken a team months can now be built and tested in weeks, which puts custom software within reach of a 10-person company.
The results are showing up in small and medium businesses first. In 2026, companies with 20 to 70 employees reported ending Salesforce and HubSpot contracts for tools they built with AI, cutting software costs by 40 to 80 percent. One 45-person company replaced a $40,000-a-year CRM with a custom build expected to cost about $1,200 a year to run (PYMNTS).

When we tell you to keep the subscription
Custom software is not always the answer. Payroll, tax filing, your accounting ledger, and email are cheap relative to the risk of running them yourself. Payments are different: we build invoicing, checkout, and recurring billing into your software, connected directly to a processor like Stripe or Square, so you skip the software company's markup on every transaction. If a tool costs less than the yearly support of a replacement, or carries compliance obligations you would have to take on, we will recommend keeping it.
How a replacement project works
- SaaS auditWe list every subscription, its cost per year, and what your team actually uses.
- Business caseBuild cost, running cost, and payback period in writing, per tool.
- Build & testShort cycles. Your team tries real work in it every week.
- Migrate & switchData moved, both systems in parallel, then you cancel the old one.
What you get
- Software built around your workflow, not a vendor's idea of it
- Source code in a repository under your company account
- Your database, domain, and hosting in accounts you own
- AI features where they help: drafting, summarizing, sorting, searching
- Data migration from the tool you are leaving
- Staff training and written documentation
- Training so your team can manage it, change it, and improve it yourselves with AI
- A support period after launch, with optional ongoing support

Common questions
How much can we save by replacing SaaS with custom software?
It depends on what you pay today and how many seats you have. Per-seat tools like CRMs save the most, because a custom build costs roughly the same for 5 users or 50. Small firms in published cases cut software costs by 40 to 80 percent. Our free savings calculator gives you a first estimate in two minutes.
Who owns the software you build?
You do. The code, the data, and the hosting accounts are in your name from day one. If you stop working with us, everything keeps running and any developer can pick it up.
What happens to our data in the old SaaS tool?
We export it, clean it, and import it into the new system before you cancel anything. Both systems run side by side until your team is comfortable, so there is no gap in service.
What does it cost to run custom software?
Usually hosting and AI usage, which for a small or medium business is often tens of dollars a month rather than hundreds or thousands. We give you the expected running cost in writing before you approve a build, plus an optional support plan for changes and updates.
What if the software breaks or we need changes later?
Every build includes a support period after launch. After that you can choose a monthly support plan, call us per change, or hand it to any developer, since you own the code.
