How do I build a custom AI app or SaaS MVP?
Handbuilt builds custom AI apps and SaaS MVPs end to end — user accounts, database, payments, admin panel and custom AI logic — on a modern stack you fully own. Builds start from $7,500 CAD and typically ship in 4–8 weeks, scoped on a call.
The problem
Founders waste months and tens of thousands hiring agencies or piecing together no-code tools that break the moment they get traction.
How it works
- 1
We scope your idea into a buildable MVP on a call
- 2
We design the app, data model and AI logic
- 3
We build, connect and deploy it
- 4
You launch — and you own the code
What you get
- A real, deployable app — not a prototype
- Custom AI logic on your data
- Auth, database, payments, admin panel
- Full code ownership, no lock-in
