How To Build a SaaS Application For Cheap | Building Software On a $12 Budget
In this video, I’ll be going over how anyone with a $12 budget can build their own software as a service product.
This is something that took me years to figure out.
Building a SaaS application can be done for really cheap and it doesn’t have to be limited to big tech companies with insane amounts of cash to throw at it.
This is just the way I did it and found to be the most efficient, but there are tons of other approaches you could take.
Enjoy!
We're starting a Discord! A ton of people have asked about this so here we go!

damn! why aren’t there more views?!?! this is gold, thanks!!!
Yh
This is some great content! Helped a lot!
That’s awesome Prajwal, glad it helped you out!
This is an amazing job. You deserve more views and subscribers. BTW how long have you been coding?
Damn thanks for the kind words Efe, it’s really humbling. I’m 25 and wrote my first line of code when I was 20 in college, but I didn’t get into it until a year or two after that.
@Darian Sampare I’m really inspired. Thanks man. I’m 26 and just starting to code. Been dragging for too long. I will love to work with you in the future ?
Do you use anything special for the basic stuff; (social) login, 2fa, tenant base system to make sure one can’t see stuff from another (separate db?), backoffice app, payment system?
I’m not a huge fan of social logins, I like to manage my user data myself. Rolling out an auth service is pretty straight forward after you’ve done it a couple times. For payments I would definitely go with Stripe, you DON’T want to be handling that sensitive info on your own, or at least I don’t want to 🙂
Can you make more videos about saas? Love the topic
Ya I definitely will be in the future. Glad you enjoy these!
Can you also talk about marketing and SEO? I feel like for a lot of developers tech isn’t the problem, the business side is.
I’m a developer by trade myself, I only know the basics on the business side. My advice is to find a non-tech co founder. You can’t do it all alone!
Im confused. I am just learning about saas and do you have to integrate these theme files into a platform like Squarespace or Shopify? How do you run the program itself? thanks
This is how to create a web app coded from scratch my man. No platform builders.
Brilliant video man. Just subbed!
Big thank you for the wonderful information. Helps plan my next side project. ?
super insightful video! thanks so much for sharing
Great video!! I’m motivated to continue with my projects!
GOLD! YOU CLEARED UP A HUGE CHUNK OF CONFUSION IM HAVING!
Hi Darian, I spend weeks to find an application to use as a SAAS, I went via codecanion.net, but I couldn’t find the SAAS application I was looking for. I m looking for ( Paraphrasing application, grammar correction application and plagiarism checker ) I want to host these 3 on one website, so my students who buy my research article writing course will free access to, so this way I will sell more course when I offer them these softwares for their ease. Please help me where to find and buy these softwares/applications. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you
Can you make a course on youtube or udemy where you develop a full project from beginning to end? I’d buy it! 🙂
I would love to one day!
Wow I missed a lot thanks! On me, my budget is only $5 vps cloud, free SSL using lets encrypt,
a quick question mate, how do you learn these tech stacks so fast? like what is your method of learning because when i want to start something like this i am not sure on where to start. like you mentioned in the video you mentioned i learn’t it over a night.
Funny that you ask: https://youtu.be/pT1oeHNiqUQ
Jesus, this video is awesome! I don’t do JavaScript mainly, I do Java and Javascript I use only for frontend frameworks. But either way, this video is awesome, really. All the time I want to build something, I come across those pricing challenges. With cloud services that are not clear with the pricing and expensive continuous integration tools.
Thanks a lot Darian, you got one more subscriber.
Amazing knowledge sharing, thank you
This is really good info. Simple and to the point!
Please clarify from where did you buy domain and how much does it cost along with SSL certificate ?
