Why outsource to a SaaS development agency?
Here’s why hiring an agency — instead of managing a team yourself — is a wise move.
Fully Managed Process
Don’t stress over managing developers, DevOps engineers, and QA testers yourself.
Product Strategy
Get expert, outside help to help you determine the best way to solve real user problems.
Focus on Growth
Let an agency take ownership of your product so you can spend time on sales and marketing.
The DevSquad approach to SaaS development
Do you want an agency that protects your profitability? You found us.
WITHOUT DEVSQUAD
Start your business on assumptions
The majority of SaaS development consulting firms don’t offer user testing as part of their development process—which is insane. Why invest in a product no one will pay for?
Lock yourself into a big contract
Because most agencies can’t deliver on their promises, they lock you into six-figure contracts that are very hard to get out of. The bigger the quote, the more likely it is they don’t know what they’re doing.
Launch your product in 12-18 months
Most agencies move slowly. They geek out on technology and infrastructure choices instead of prioritizing business outcomes and user needs. The result is clean code that never really goes anywhere.
Waste money on new features and updates
If you want to put your business at risk, then keep asking your agency to build new features. They’ll happily add whatever you want and send you a big fat bill that destroys your budget for growth initiatives.
Lose out to competitors with better UX
Let’s face it. No matter how great your product idea, UX is what really makes it stick (or fail) with users. Too many agencies hire inexperienced UX designers because they care more about scaling than delivering quality work.
WITH DEVSQUAD
Get prototype feedback from real target users
DevSquad offers a product strategy process that moves from prototyping to user testing and back to prototyping. We work with real users and provide their feedback to help you decide if the product is even worth building.
Pay month to month
Steer clear of dev agencies that weigh you down with massive contracts. Catering to the SaaS industry, we offer a pay-as-you-go subscription model that preserves your runway and cash flow.
Go to market in 3 to 9 months
DevSquad helps you build like a bootstrapped startup, even if you’re not. We use modern frameworks like Laravel and Vue.js, combined with our optimized playbooks to quickly develop user-vetted products.
Prevent feature overwhelm with dual-track agile
At DevSquad, we use a dual-track agile approach so that new ideas are continuously vetted in a discovery track, while we’re building approved updated in the delivery track.
Offer Silicon-Valley-style UX users love
We operate out of the Silicon Slopes area of Utah, which got its name for good reason, We provide the highest-quality, most modern-looking UX. Our small team of designers continuously tests and optimizes key flows.
Our process for custom SaaS development
Let’s kick things off with strategy, prototyping, and real user testing.
STEP 1
Product Strategy
Our approach to product strategy is inspired by Google Ventures' Design Sprint. Our leadership team will go through the process with you to combine your industry knowledge with our SaaS development experience.
STEP 2
Prototyping & Testing
Based on our strategy session, we create a realistic prototype and test it with real target users. We’ll let you know if the user testing results mean that your product isn’t worth building. You can also stop after this point if you decide not to go forward for any reason.
STEP 3
MVP Development
If users love your product idea and you’re prepared to dive in fully, we’ll build your vetted MVP concept. On average, it takes us about 6 months to get your product ready to launch so you can drive revenue ASAP.
STEP 4
Ongoing Improvement
Immediately after launch, we’re already working on the roadmap updates that weren’t necessary for your MVP but are high priority nonetheless. We continue development with our dual-track agile approach with concurrent discovery and delivery sprints.
STEP 5
Handover (If You Want)
Most of our clients rely on us to continuously improve and maintain their product — but sometimes, it makes sense to take development in-house. When that happens, we provide excellent team training and a smooth handover so you’re fully prepared to take charge.

Product Strategists
Partner with our CTO for technical feasibility and our CEO (also a SaaS founder) for end-user strategy.
Technical Product Managers
All of our product managers have former development experience so they can really wrangle devs.
UX/UI Designers
We have a small team of incredible UX designers and only take on select projects we believe in.
Mid-level & Senior Developers
We offer mid-level and senior developers who work on our internal projects before touching work.
Tech Leads & DevOps Engineers
Our tech leads and DevOps engineers manage CI/CD, performance, and cybersecurity.
QA Managers
Quality assurance managers test your app with pre-written test cases, automation, and ad hoc exploring.
Why choose DevSquad as your SaaS development agency
Pre-built library of SaaS elements

Unparalleled product analytics
Whenever possible, we develop SaaS products with Laravel so our clients have access to Laravel Pulse for free and powerful insights.
Development cost savings
Our Brazilian founder hires the very best developers from Latin America, while our product strategists and designers are based here in Utah.
When you hire an agency, you can avoid managing freelancers that have you putting out fires around the clock. Unless you have previous experience as a developer and product manager, it is incredibly difficult to manage freelancers or build an in-house team. By partnering with an agency, you can ensure that you’re making the most of your investment and protecting your runway. You’ll be paying for product development instead of hourly work, employment wages, and/or benefits that may or may not result in a completed product.
Launching a SaaS business isn’t just about having a great idea. You also need to be the right person to grow the company, and you need enough runway to do it. Take our 1-Page SaaS Blueprint Challenge to help you clarify your concept and business plan. And, when you’re ready to take the next step, make sure to go through a design sprint, like our Sprint Zero offer, which takes you through our process for strategy, product design, prototyping, and user testing. Not only will you have a chance to vet the idea, but you’ll also test your own commitment and interest in the business.
We recommend Laravel for the majority of SaaS products. It offers excellent documentation, pre-built fundamental SaaS features, stellar performance, and easy deployment, all of which translate into faster development and updates. Through developing dozens of products with Laravel, we’ve optimized every step of the process.
We charge a fixed monthly fee per Squad. The cost of your Squad is determined by the number of developers, product managers, quality assurance analysts, and product designers assigned to your product. We determine the right Squad size for you after our initial call. With DevSquad, you pay month to month and are never locked into long-term contracts.
