Starting a SaaS costs little to nothing

I built an ai resume generator that helped 3000+ people generate resumes. My total cost was about $50.

AI costs made up most of it:

  • Claude 3 Opus: $42.45
  • Claude 3 Sonnet: $6.52
  • Other AI models: $2.42

Everything else was free:

  • Supabase
  • Resend for emails
  • Vercel for hosting
  • Stripe for payments
  • Cloudflare
  • Next.js

The website has helped thousands of people write better resumes. Each resume costs about 2 cents to generate.

This shows you can build useful projects without spending much money.
