Show HN: MicroBuilder – Describe your idea, get it built fast (no agency needed)

https://microbuilder.dev/

Hey HN,

I’ve been building SaaS products and running small service businesses for a while, and I kept running into the same issue — founders with great small ideas (like an internal dashboard, automation, or MVP) struggle to get them built quickly without overpaying or managing freelancers.

Agencies quote $5k–$10k, freelancers are hit-or-miss, and even with no-code tools, you still need design and tech skills.

So I built MicroBuilder.dev - a simple way for non-technical founders and small teams to get small builds done.

Here’s how it works: 1. You describe what you want built or your pain. 2. An AI system gives an instant price estimate 3. We match you with a vetted builder who delivers within a few days

Focusing mainly on small, fixed-price builds – Mini SaaS apps – Dashboards or client portals – Automations (n8n, Make, Zapier, etc.)

Each project includes 30 days of free bug-fix support and full code ownership.

I’d love feedback from this community — especially on: – Pricing and tier structure – How to make it more transparent or self-serve – Whether this fills a real gap between agencies and no-code tools

This is an early-stage experiment; I’m validating demand this week.

Appreciate any thoughts or critique

David

sounds like a cool idea, but how small are we talking here? What about the recurring costs and the actual deployments, so like if the application requires AWS cloud buckets, etc. do you guys set that up, or just provide the code for it and the client is responsible for keeping it up and running?

So, standard offer is we build it and deliver the code to you and offer 30 day support. You then pay for the recurring costs. However we do also offer hosting etc for a monthly recurring costs if you prefer that.

Small builds falls within the fixed price tiers. If you want a bigger, more complex build we have custom tier where we need to properly scope the project before pricing.
