ViBe://BUILD
SaaS platforms, portals, and internal systems built to your specification.
Multi-user applications with real business logic. Authentication, roles, databases, billing, admin tooling — built custom, not assembled from SaaS scaffolding.
ViBe://SCOPE
What qualifies as a platform.
A platform is an application that users log into, interact with, and rely on to do work. It has persistent state, business logic that varies by user or role, and data that belongs to the application — not just content displayed to a visitor.
If your product manages users, stores transactional data, enforces permissions, or connects multiple parties in a shared system, it is a platform. That is what we build.
- Multi-tenant SaaS applications
- Internal operations platforms
- Marketplace and two-sided platforms
- Customer and partner portals
- Workflow automation systems
- Admin dashboards and data platforms
- Approval and review systems
- Billing and subscription management tools

ViBe://INCLUDES
What every platform build includes.
These are the standard building blocks. Additional features — custom workflows, external integrations, industry-specific logic — are scoped during the demo.
- User authentication (email/password, OAuth, SSO)
- Role-based access control with custom permission layers
- Relational database with schema and migrations
- REST or GraphQL API layer
- Admin dashboard with user management
- Billing integration (Stripe or equivalent)
- Background job processing
- Deployment to managed infrastructure you control
Also common in platform builds
- Email and in-app notifications
- Audit logs and activity history
- CSV and data export tooling
- Webhook integrations with third-party systems
- Multi-tenant data isolation
- Onboarding flows and user invitation system
ViBe://PRICING
Pricing. Hosting. What's separate.
Build Multiplier
× 5
API credit cost × 5 = your quote
Platform Hosting
$100/mo
Persistent server resources
The demo runs the actual build pipeline. At completion, we report the Anthropic API credit cost. Multiply by 5 — that is your platform build quote. Hosting is $100/month, billed separately once the platform is live.
Platform hosting is higher than website hosting because platforms require persistent processes: a running database, API workers, background job queues, and managed backups. That infrastructure runs continuously, not on-demand.
Not included in the $100/month hosting
- Billing platform fees (Stripe charges per transaction)
- Third-party email service costs beyond included tier
- External API subscriptions (CRM, analytics, auth providers)
- Data storage overages for unusually large datasets
- Industry-specific compliance infrastructure (HIPAA BAA, SOC 2, etc.)
Hosting fees begin when the platform goes live. Build quotes are firm based on actual demo credit usage. Scope changes after quoting may adjust the final price. Third-party vendor fees are billed at cost and itemized before setup.
ViBe://WHY
Why build a custom platform instead of buying SaaS.
You own the logic
SaaS platforms make assumptions about how your business works. Custom code matches your actual process — including the edge cases no vendor ever designs for.
Seat fees compound
SaaS per-seat pricing scales with your team. A custom platform has a fixed hosting cost regardless of how many users are on it. At scale, the math usually favors custom.
No vendor lock-in
You own the code, the database, and the deployment. If you want to move it, extend it, or hand it to another team, nothing is locked to a vendor contract.
ViBe://FAQ
Common questions.
What's the difference between a website and a platform?+
A website presents information. A platform is an application — it has users who log in, data that persists, and workflows that run. If your product has user roles, a database, business logic that changes based on who is logged in, or a multi-tenant structure, it is a platform. If it is a marketing site or a portal where users can view data but not transact or interact with a shared system, it may be closer to a website.
Why is platform hosting $100/month vs. $50/month for websites?+
Websites can run on edge infrastructure that scales to zero when there is no traffic — they are mostly static. Platforms need persistent server processes: a running database, an API layer that maintains connections, background job workers, and session management. The $100/month covers that persistent infrastructure, managed and monitored by us.
Do you handle database migrations?+
Yes. Schema migrations are part of the build and deployment process. We use migration tooling that tracks versions and rolls back cleanly if a deployment fails. If you are migrating data from an existing system, we include a migration plan and validation step before the new system goes live.
Can I add users and roles?+
Yes. Role-based access control is a standard part of platform builds. You define the roles — admin, manager, member, viewer, or whatever maps to your organizational structure — and we build the permission layer that enforces them across every route, API endpoint, and data query. Adding new roles later is a configuration change, not a rebuild.
