The SaaS trap compared to a custom system
The SaaS trap
Monthly fees forever
Paying $300/mo for Salesforce or HubSpot adds up to $3,600/year.
3% transaction fees
Stripe takes a cut of every single dollar you earn.
Generic features
You have to adapt your business to their software.
Data lock-in
If you stop paying, you lose access to your own client data.
Your custom OS
One-time payment
You pay once to build it, and you own the code forever.
