How much does it cost to build an MVP for a SaaS platform in 2026?

Storytime 🎆

I am looking to build a B2B SaaS platform for inventory management. I have the wireframes ready, but I am getting wildly different quotes from agencies (from $15k to $100k+).

What is a realistic budget for a solid MVP built on React and Node.js?

Eastern Europe has some amazing talent, especially in AI and machine learning. Poland is generally a bit more expensive but very reliable. Ukraine has incredible engineers and often better rates.

If they are joining pre-product and taking equal risk (e.g. no salary), it should be close to 50/50. If you already have funding and can pay them a salary, it could be anywhere from 10% to 30%.

The key to offshore development is having very clear specifications and overlapping hours. Make sure you have at least 2-3 hours of overlap for daily standups.

A realistic React/Node.js B2B MVP budget ranges from **$25,000 to $45,000**. The $15k quote likely cuts critical security corners, while $100k+ includes scalable enterprise-grade features you don't need yet.
