Ship your Rails SaaS in one month
I build complete Rails SaaS applications from scratch in 30 days. No prototypes, no MVPs, but production-ready apps that customers pay for.
I’ve launched multiple successful Rails SaaS products and know exactly what features you need (and which ones you don’t) to get paying customers in the door quickly.
Who this is for
You have a SaaS idea and know your target market, but need someone to build the actual Rails application. You want to launch fast with a product that is not just a flaky MVP, not spend months in development. LLMs are good for one-off scripts, but building a complete SaaS requires real product experience.
Most agencies will build exactly what you spec out. I help you figure out what actually matters for launch.
The Rails stack
Ruby on Rails 8 with modern tooling based on my Kern gem. All using “vanilla Rails”. This means no React, or other JavaScript frameworks. Just clean, fast Rails that scales.

Why Rails for SaaS
Rails has powered successful SaaS companies for decades. GitHub, Shopify, Basecamp, Gusto: it’s proven at scale and lets one developer ship complete applications quickly.
Rails provides the foundation. You’ll still need to integrate payment processors, email services and other third-party tools, but Rails makes these integrations straightforward.
After launch
The Rails codebase is yours to extend. I offer retainers for ongoing development, or you/your team can take over.
Pricing
Starting from $5,000 for a focussed Rails SaaS app ready for customers.

FAQ
Why Rails over other frameworks?
The ecosystem is mature, the conventions are solid and it scales to millions of users. Most importantly, I can build your entire application without a team.
What about hosting and deployment?
I can help you set up your Rails app on your preferred hosting platform with proper production configuration. You own everything.
Can you integrate with payment processors and APIs?
If it exists, Rails can probably connect to it.
What if I need custom features later?
The Rails codebase follows standard conventions, so any Rails developer can extend it. I also offer retainers for ongoing development.
