Micro SaaS Development

We build micro SaaS
that does one thing well
and charges for it.

A micro SaaS is small on purpose — one sharp feature, one clear audience, real billing from day one. We build lean subscription products fast, with the money layer done properly, owned by you. The discipline of doing one thing well is the whole point.

What we build

Small, sharp,
and charging.

Micro SaaS keeps the scope tight and the billing real. We build the lean product that starts earning fast.

01

One thing, done well

A tight, focused feature set — the strength of a micro SaaS, not a limit.

02

Real billing from day one

Subscriptions on Stripe, because charging is the whole point.

03

Cheap to run

Lean by design, so it stays viable for a solo founder or small team.

04

Fast to launch

Small scope means live and charging in weeks, not quarters.

05

Owned by you

The full codebase and billing, no platform lock-in.

The philosophy

Small is the strategy, not a compromise

Micro SaaS inverts the usual instinct to build big. Instead of a sprawling platform that tries to do everything, a micro SaaS does one specific thing, for one specific audience, better than any bloated all-in-one tool bothers to. That narrowness is not a limitation you settle for — it is the strategy. A sharp, focused product is easier to build, cheaper to run, simpler to explain, and far easier for a small team to support.

This makes micro SaaS a genuinely strong first move, especially for a solo founder or a small team. You are not betting a huge budget on a big vision before you know it works. You are building the smallest real, chargeable product that solves one clear problem, getting it in front of paying customers fast, and letting revenue rather than guesswork tell you what to do next.

We build to that philosophy. We will actively resist scope creep on your behalf, because the thing that kills micro SaaS is the same thing it is meant to avoid: quietly growing into the bloated tool it was supposed to beat.

Still real SaaS

Small scope, but the billing is never optional

The one place a micro SaaS is never allowed to be small is the money. Keeping the feature set tight is the whole idea; skipping real billing is not, because billing is precisely what makes it SaaS rather than a free tool nobody pays for. So even the leanest micro SaaS we build has proper subscription billing from day one — plans, sign-up, payment, and the account states around it, on Stripe.

This matters more for micro SaaS than almost anything, because the entire premise is a small product that charges cleanly and reliably. If the billing is flaky, the model is broken — there is no big enterprise contract to fall back on, just lots of small subscriptions that need to work every time. We build that money layer properly regardless of how small the rest of the product is.

We do this from the experience of running our own billing in production, so the real-world subscription edge cases are handled rather than discovered live by your first paying customers.

Proof

We ship lean products with real billing

The relevant proof for micro SaaS is that we build and run subscription software with real billing ourselves. sellyourboat.io is a Wall & Fifth venture that includes subscription software we built and operate, with Stripe billing in production and the account and payment machinery a paying product needs.

We are comfortable building lean and shipping fast without cutting the corner that matters — the ability to charge. That combination, small scope plus solid billing, is exactly what a micro SaaS lives on, and it is how we work by default.

We have also delivered payments work across our client roster including KompiPay. Building small, chargeable products properly is squarely in what we do.

The build

Production stack, fixed price, owned outright

We build micro SaaS on the same real production stack as everything else — Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Stripe for billing, deployed properly — just scoped tight. Small does not mean flimsy; it means focused. The product is lean, but it is real software you own, not a no-code assembly you rent.

We work to a fixed price. From 16,000 GBP for a focused micro SaaS — one core feature, accounts, and real billing, which is often the whole product by design — and from 30,000 GBP if you want a few connected features and integrations. Payment processing and any third-party usage is passed through at cost, never marked up.

And you own all of it: the full codebase, the billing setup, the infrastructure, handed over on delivery. No platform you keep paying, no licensing, no lock-in. Yours to run, change, and grow with us or any team you choose.

FAQ

Questions people ask

A small, focused subscription product that does one thing well, usually for a niche, kept lean rather than sprawling into a big platform. It still needs real accounts and billing, but the feature scope is tight on purpose. The appeal is that a small, sharp product reaches paying customers fast and stays cheap to run — a strong first move for a solo founder or small team.

Yes, always. Billing is what makes it SaaS rather than a free tool, so even the smallest micro SaaS needs real subscription billing from day one — plans, sign-up, payment, and the states around it, on Stripe. Keeping scope small does not mean skipping the money layer; for a micro SaaS, charging cleanly is the whole point.

From £16,000 for a focused micro SaaS: one core feature done well, accounts, and real billing — often the whole product by design. From £30,000 if you want a few connected features, integrations, and more polish. Both fixed price, and you own the full codebase. Third-party usage (payment fees) is passed through at cost.

Often yes, and doing one thing is the strength. Many successful subscription products are narrow by design: they solve one specific problem for one audience better than a bloated all-in-one. A focused micro SaaS is faster to build, cheaper to run, easier to explain, and easier for a small team to support. Doing one thing well is what makes micro SaaS work.

Yes, including our own. sellyourboat.io is a Wall & Fifth venture that includes subscription software we built and run, with Stripe billing in production. We know how to ship a lean product with real billing that starts charging quickly — exactly what a micro SaaS needs.

Completely. The full codebase, billing setup, and infrastructure, handed over on delivery. No licensing, no lock-in, no platform you keep paying. Yours to run, change, and grow with us or any team you choose.
