What is the cost of maintaining a web application?
Budget roughly 10 to 20 percent of the build cost per year for dependencies, security updates, hosting and small improvements. Hosting a typical SaaS starts around $20 to $100 monthly on modern platforms. Skipping maintenance is a loan with brutal interest.
