About 86 SaaS
We got tired of the SaaS tax too.
86 SaaS started with a simple observation: most companies pay thousands per month for software they barely use. Meanwhile, the tools they actually need could be built in weeks — for a fraction of the ongoing cost.
The Problem We Solve
SaaS pricing inflated at 5x the rate of general inflation in 2025. Companies with 100-500 employees waste an average of $915K/year on unused subscriptions. Per-seat pricing punishes growth. And PE acquisitions keep making it worse.
The tools you need don't require 100 features built for millions of users. They require 5-10 features built for your team. That's what we build.
How We're Different
We're not a typical dev shop that takes 6 months and $200K to build something. AI-assisted development means we move 2-4x faster than traditional shops while maintaining production-grade quality.
And unlike no-code platforms, we build real software — full source code, your infrastructure, proper testing, clean documentation. Nothing platform-locked or fragile.
Our Values
How we work.
Six principles that guide every project we take on.
Build Only What's Needed
We don't upsell features. If your team uses 5 features of a 100-feature SaaS tool, we build the 5.
You Own Everything
Full source code, your infrastructure, zero vendor lock-in. Walk away anytime with everything we built.
Speed Through AI
AI-assisted development means 2-4x faster than traditional dev shops. Weeks, not months.
Transparent Pricing
Flat-fee or 50% model. No hourly billing surprises, no scope creep invoices, no hidden costs.
Production-Grade Code
Not prototypes or no-code hacks. Real, tested, documented software your team can maintain.
Long-Term Partnership
Optional maintenance retainers. We don't disappear after deployment. Your tools stay current and secure.
