What your first version includes
A SaaS is built in stages. We start with a first version (MVP) whose scope is written in the quote, then the product grows with its users.

A SaaS, in practice
A typical example of what a hand-delivered service becomes once it's a product. No Kayo SaaS is published yet, so we cite no project.

Your questions. Our clear answers.
What is a SaaS?
Software you use online, without installing it, usually by subscription. Users sign in with an account, on a product that several companies can use.
What's the difference with a web app or business tool?
A business tool is built for a single company, for its own way of working. A SaaS is a product designed to be used by several companies. If your need is internal, a business tool is often enough; we look at it with you on the call.
How much does a SaaS cost?
From €4,500 for the first version (MVP) at the simplest scope, excluding options and third-party costs. The final price is the one in the signed quote. No VAT is charged (VAT exemption).
Why start with a first version?
Because you learn fast with real users. A scoped first version lets you test sooner, before investing in a full product.
Who owns the code?
Rights in the work created for you are transferred to you once the quote is paid in full; Kayo’s pre-existing components and third-party items remain under licence (T&Cs art. 11). The exact terms are set out in the quote.
Who hosts and evolves the product after launch?
Hosting and the database are third-party costs, paid by you. Changes and operation are an ongoing service (EVOLVE pillar). The 30-day warranty covers bugs attributable to Kayo.
