Not every workflow needs custom software — and not every workflow fits SaaS. Answer six questions honestly and we’ll tell you which direction actually fits, with the reasoning. Based on the same unit-economics framework in our custom vs SaaS blog post.
Every question maps to one of three signals: fit (does SaaS cover what you need?), friction (how much is the current setup actually costing you?), and duration (how long will the investment pay back?). Custom wins when the monthly cost of workarounds and per-seat fees exceeds the one-time cost of a build that’s paid back within 18–24 months.
The full framework — with three real-world scenarios and a 36-month total-cost-of-ownership comparison — is in our custom vs SaaS post.
The discovery call is free and candid. If the quiz says SaaS and we agree — we’ll tell you. If it says custom, we’ll walk through scope and pricing in plain English.
