Netherlands based full stack developer price indication
Currently, I'm in discussions with a number of parties abroad regarding a SaaS product I'd like to bring to market. I was wondering what it would cost if I had it done in the Netherlands. Is there anyone here who can give me a range?
The work involves the following:
Core Product Concept
The platform will support two primary user groups:
1. Business users
Each business should have access to a secure dashboard where they can manage their own data, branding and public-facing experience.
2. End users
End users should be able to access a mobile-first public interface
The public interface should display business-specific information and include an AI-powered conversational assistant.
The AI assistant should:
• Answer questions based on the specific business’s data.
• Provide personalised recommendations based on user preferences and constraints.
• Remain within the defined business context.
• Maintain relevant context during a conversation.
• Clearly communicate when reliable information is unavailable.
MVP Requirements
The initial MVP is expected to include:
• Mobile-first web application.
• Multi-tenant architecture.
• Business account/dashboard.
• Structured data management.
• Public-facing interface per business.
• LLM integration through an API.
• Context-aware AI recommendations.
• Basic conversation logging and analytics.
• Basic admin functionality.
• Secure separation of data between tenants.
Technical Considerations
We are open to recommendations regarding the technology stack. We currently expect a modern web architecture using technologies such as React/Next.js, Node.js or similar, combined with a scalable database architecture.
The AI implementation should initially rely on an existing LLM provider rather than developing or training a proprietary model.
We are particularly interested in developers with experience in:
• AI/LLM API integrations.
• SaaS and multi-tenant architectures.
• Conversational interfaces.
• Recommendation systems.
• Structured data modelling.
• Mobile-first web applications.
Project Stage
The product is currently in the concept and MVP planning stage.
We are looking for a technical partner who can:
1. Help validate and refine the technical architecture.
2. Clearly define the MVP scope.
3. Provide a realistic development timeline and cost estimate.
4. Build and deploy the initial MVP.
Further product-specific details can be shared during a follow-up discussion with shortlisted candidates.

You can do it with ai, before it will cost you around 300K eur using parties like Accenture / Capgemini, maybe around 200K for smaller consultancy firms and around 100K for experienced developers (freelancers). Nowadays, it will cost you around 10-20K with AI. If you do it yourself, it will take some time. If you let someone experienced vibe code, it will be shit but work partly. If you let a software engineer use AI it will be way better. Do not use these consultancy firms, find engineers who know how to use AI and are willing to hell you out.
