The SaaS you're renting was someone else's code, sold to you with a monthly tax. Same operations. Same modules. Bought once, owned forever, deployed to your own infrastructure. Most buyers see month-one ROI vs. the SaaS they're replacing.

How the math works

SaaS prices monthly because their cost structure is recurring infrastructure plus margin plus growth. You pay for their team, their AWS bill, and their stockholders, every month, forever. The product itself is finished engineering they built once.

LaunchKits sells you the engineering once. You self-host on Vercel (free tier), database on Supabase (free tier), email through Resend (3000/month free). Total recurring infrastructure cost for a small business: $0. The optional Pro tier ($14/mo) covers managed hosting and updates if you don't want to set up Cloudflare yourself.

The trade-off: you do a 20-minute deployment instead of clicking through a SaaS signup. Most buyers find that worth $2,000+ a year.
