Why Custom Solutions Beat SaaS Tools

The SaaS Subscription Trap

Most businesses waste thousands on software subscriptions that don't solve their actual problems.

💸

Endless Monthly Fees

$50/month here, $99/month there. Before you know it, you're paying $2,000+ monthly for software that doesn't perfectly fit your needs.

🔒

Feature Limitations

Need one small feature? Upgrade to Enterprise for 3x the price. Can't integrate with your other tools? Too bad, buy another subscription.

📊

Data Lock-In

Your business data is trapped in their system. Want to switch? Good luck exporting your data in a useful format.

⚙️

Forced Workflows

Adapt your business to their software, not the other way around. Their way or the highway - even if it makes no sense for your business.
