Frequently Asked Questions
How much power does a SaaS vendor have during lock-in?
Immense. They can raise prices by 40% overnight, as seen with several major platforms, and without owned software, companies have zero leverage to push back.
Do we maintain the code ourselves after Slickrock.dev builds it?
Slickrock.dev offers fractional post-launch maintenance, but the code is yours. You have the total freedom to hire an internal team to manage it at any time.
