§ Tech.00

The architecture
of an owned system.
No rent, no limits.

We replace scattered SaaS subscriptions with one cohesive engine — open-source, hosted on your infrastructure, engineered to convert. The same stack we use to build category leaders.

§ Tech.01

Why own instead of rent?

We build on open-source so you have zero vendor lock-in. No per-seat fees, no trapped data, no arbitrary price hikes.

01

Zero SaaS Fees

You pay for raw server compute. A £30/mo server can replace £3,000/mo in SaaS licenses.

02

100% Data Sovereignty

Your customer data lives in your database, on your infrastructure. You can export it, query it, and delete it at will.

03

Unrestricted Extensibility

Need a custom feature? We write the code. You're never waiting for a vendor's product roadmap again.

§ Tech.02

The flow of data.

A unified system means data flows frictionlessly from the first click to the final invoice.

§ Tech.03Six Layers

A composable, owned stack.

§ Tech.04The wiring

Why this stack stays cheap as you scale.

No per-seat fees. No per-execution tax. No vendor with a contract. You pay for the hardware that runs it — and that's it.

// Economics

Owned cost stays flat.
SaaS cost compounds.

A typical SMB on rented SaaS pays £1,200/mo at 5 seats. At 20 seats, that's £4,800/mo — and the vendor controls the roadmap. With STACKD, the only growing line is the box you rent for £30/mo. Everything else is amortised over the build.
