SaaS Application Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP works as a SaaS development agency for software companies in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics and the rest of Europe, with one difference from most agencies: you get a remote mid-to-senior developer who works full time and only on your product, and stays on it. The time difference works in your favour. Your developer overlaps five to six hours of a UK working day and six to seven hours of a Central European one, so standups, pairing on a tricky release and same-day fixes happen live. European SaaS has its own engineering list: VAT that changes with where the customer is, card payments that need Strong Customer Authentication, direct debit through SEPA or Bacs, prices in more than one currency, and GDPR requests that should be product features. Our European references include MarketPlace Monitor, a subscription product for UK resellers that scans marketplaces in real time and sends instant alerts. We act as your processor under a signed DPA, keep data in your own EU or UK cloud region, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every release.
What our SaaS development agency delivers for UK and European teams
One developer on your product for the long run, building the parts that are different in Europe and the UK.
Billing, VAT and European payments
Stripe Billing with VAT applied by customer location, reverse charge on B2B invoices, EU One Stop Shop reporting for consumer sales and UK VAT handled alongside. Strong Customer Authentication built into sign-up and renewal flows, so renewals that need a 3-D Secure check do not fail silently, plus SEPA and Bacs Direct Debit.
GDPR as product features
Access, export and deletion requests your support team can run without a developer, retention rules written as code, consent recorded where it is needed, and a processing record your DPO can read. UK GDPR and EU GDPR are both covered, and data stays in the region you choose.
Multi-currency and multi-language
Prices in EUR, GBP and other currencies with rounding and tax-inclusive display done properly, translations managed outside the code, and dates, numbers and addresses formatted for each country. Accessibility work to WCAG where your customers or tenders require it.
The integrations European teams use
Xero and Sage for UK accounting, Exact for Dutch customers, HubSpot and Pipedrive for sales, Slack and Microsoft 365 for the team, with OAuth, webhooks and retries that keep working when the other side changes its API.
Ready for larger and public-sector buyers
Single sign-on through SAML or OIDC with Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access and audit logs, plus the access, logging and change-management controls that ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials assessments ask about. The certification stays yours; the evidence is in the product.
Releases inside your working day
With five to seven hours of overlap, releases can go out while your team is online to watch them, behind feature flags and with regression checks on the paid flows, and a problem reported in the morning is usually fixed the same day.
How a UK or European SaaS engagement starts
A developer working on your backlog inside the first week, with the data protection paperwork done before any access is granted.
A call in your working day
Thirty minutes in your morning or early afternoon, UK or Central European time. You walk us through the product, the stack, the customers and the next three things on the roadmap.
A scope and a DPA
Within 24 hours: a short written scope and an introduction to one developer who fits. The NDA, IP assignment and DPA are signed before anyone touches customer data.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Your developer starts within 48 hours on a real backlog item and joins your standups live. Day 7 is a real decision point, with a full refund if it is not a fit.
Monthly, invoiced in EUR
One invoice a month in EUR with the VAT reverse charge, a senior team lead reviewing each release, and no notice period beyond seven days. Add a developer or a UI/UX designer when the roadmap needs one.
SaaS development pricing: hourly or monthly
Both plans give you a mid-to-senior developer who works only on your product, with a senior team lead reviewing and testing every release. Monthly is for an ongoing roadmap: 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, billed monthly upfront. Hourly suits a defined piece of work, such as one integration or a billing change. No setup fee and no recruitment fee.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
The first 90 days on a SaaS product
The usual shape of the first three months with a UK or European SaaS team. With a long shared working day, most of it happens live.
- Week 1
Access, setup and a first merged change
Repository and cloud access, a working local environment, a map of how deployments and environments work today, and a first pull request reviewed and merged. Day 7 is the decision point on the trial.
- Month 1
The first roadmap item in production
The highest-priority item shipped to production, behind a feature flag where it touches paying customers. Staging, CI and the release checklist are agreed with your team.
- Month 2
The harder parts of the roadmap
The work that usually waits: a billing change, a permissions overhaul, the integration a large account asked for, or the first AI feature. Each one ships with tests that cover the paid flows around it.
- Month 3
Ahead of the backlog
By month three your developer knows the codebase well enough to suggest work, not just take tickets: slow queries, fragile jobs, a refactor that unblocks the next quarter. You plan the next quarter together.
A dedicated developer vs a European SaaS agency, a contractor marketplace, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (dedicated developer) | SaaS development agency (fixed price) | Contractor marketplace | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A flat monthly fee per developer, or hourly for defined work | A fixed bid per phase; anything new is a change order | Hourly rates that vary by contractor; you track the hours | Salary, benefits, payroll tax, equipment and hiring time |
| Who works on your product | One mid-to-senior developer, only on your product, plus a senior team lead | A project team that moves on when the phase ends | Whoever you hire, with nobody reviewing their work | Your employee |
| Time to start | 48 hours | Weeks: proposal, statement of work, kickoff | Days to weeks | Months: the search, then a notice period that is often one to three months |
| When the roadmap changes | Re-prioritise the backlog, no change order | Change order, new quote, new signature | Renegotiate the hours or the rate | Reassign internally, if you have the people |
| After a release | The same developer keeps shipping | A separate maintenance retainer | The contract ends and the knowledge leaves | The team stays, if they stay |
| Code and accounts | Your repository and your cloud account from day one; IP assigned to you | Yours on final payment | Yours if the contract says so; check the IP clause | Yours |
| Invoicing | One monthly invoice in EUR; EU VAT reverse charge; DPA signed | Per agency terms | Per contractor | Payroll, employer contributions, notice periods |
The comparison describes how each option usually works, not any one provider. Ask us for a written comparison against a quote you already have.

Why UK and European SaaS teams choose a dedicated developer
Hiring a senior developer in London, Berlin, Amsterdam or Stockholm is slow and expensive, and a fixed-price agency only covers the first release of a product that will change every month after it. A dedicated developer sits between the two: one engineer who works only on your product, keeps the context from one release to the next, and costs a fraction of a fully loaded European hire.
The overlap matters more than it looks. With five to seven hours of shared working time, your developer can join the standup, pair on a release and fix a production issue the same day it is reported. Europe-based teams usually find they run the developer exactly like an in-house team member, just without the hiring cycle, the employer contributions or the notice periods.
For a product that holds personal data, GDPR is part of the engineering, not just the paperwork. We work as your processor under a signed DPA, keep data in your own EU or UK cloud region, and build access, export and deletion requests into the product. You own the code and the accounts from day one, and you can stop with seven days' notice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It builds and keeps improving a subscription software product for you: features, billing, user accounts, integrations and releases. Empiric Infotech works as a SaaS development agency for UK and European teams through a remote dedicated developer, or a small team, who works only on your product inside your own repository and cloud account, with a senior team lead reviewing and testing every release.
A flat monthly fee per dedicated developer, invoiced in EUR, for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, or an hourly rate for a defined piece of work. Current rates are in the pricing section above. It is a vendor engagement, so recruitment fees, notice periods, pension and employer social contributions stay off your books.
Five to seven hours a day. UK and Ireland teams overlap from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST (to 2:00 PM GMT in winter), and Central European teams from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST (to 3:00 PM CET in winter). The project manager is available across your whole working day.
Yes. We sign a Data Processing Agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses before work starts and act as your processor. Your developer works inside your own cloud account in the EU or UK region you choose, and data-subject requests (access, export and deletion) are built into the product so your support team can run them.
One invoice a month in EUR, paid by SEPA bank transfer, international wire or card. Empiric Infotech LLP invoices from India, so VAT is handled through the reverse charge on your side.
Yes. MarketPlace Monitor, a subscription app with real-time deal alerts for UK resellers, was built by a four-developer team, and Vedu, an AI-powered EdTech platform in Germany, runs on a two-developer team. European engagements typically run 6 to 24 months.
Yes. The first week goes on reading the code, getting a local environment running, mapping how deployments work and shipping one small reviewed change. By the end of that week you get a short written note on what we found: the risky areas, missing tests and anything that should be fixed before new features are added on top.
Most of the SaaS products we work on run on React, Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, Node.js or Python (Django, FastAPI) on the back end, PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB for data, Stripe for billing, and AWS, Azure or Cloudflare for hosting, with Supabase or Firebase where they fit. On an existing product, we match you with a developer who already works in the stack it runs on.
You do, fully. The NDA and IP assignment are signed before work starts, and your developer works in your GitHub or GitLab organisation and your cloud account from the first day, so the code, the data and the accounts stay yours throughout.
