Cost effective
Transparent pricing and efficient design ensures that your business gets the best return on investment over time, without nasty surprises as you grow.
SaaS platforms often charge extra for customization, but our modular system means you only include what you need – the lean efficiency of a scratch build, without the price tag.
Because we are both vendor and provider, we cut out the middlemen and the cost of managing third-parties.
SaaS solutions have low entry charges, but their variable costs — such as infrastructure fees – increase exponentially as you grow. We keep costs stable.

¥¥¥ High costs for scaling, integrations, updates. |
