Legacy Pain Points
- Per-user seat pricing that limits operational scale
- Apex database lock-in and API call constraints
- Rigid Lightning UI customization barriers
The Custom Code Advantage
- No per-user licensing fees—scale to unlimited users
- Payload CMS and database schema absolute control
- Sub-100ms Next.js client portals
Calculate Your 3-Year IP Savings
Drag the team-size slider to model SaaS licensing spend against a fixed-cost custom build — implementation, hosting, and 3-year TCO update in real time.
- • Base Implementation: $55,000
- • License Taxation: $270,000
- • Data Ownership: Rented
- • One-Time Build: $55,000
- Custom Hosting (3 Yrs): $10,800
- Maintenance & Support (3 Yrs): $24,750
- 100% Code & Data Ownership
Staying on per-seat licensing costs you $6,513 every month at 50 seats — spend that never converts into owned IP.
Uncovering Hidden Constraints
What we don't do
Hidden Cost: Data Storage Overage — stacked on the $50,000 - $500,000+ / year base license
What we do
Salesforce charges premium rates per GB once you exceed standard storage limits.
What we don't do
Hidden Cost: API Overage — stacked on the $50,000 - $500,000+ / year base license
What we do
High-volume integrations quickly hit API limits, forcing expensive tier upgrades.
