// build better, pay less
SaaS without the bloatware pricing.
dabl.dev is a small, sharp software studio focused on building lean SaaS alternatives to overpriced tools. We’re also crafting a modular platform that can replace your website builder + invoicing + basic accounting + CRM in one coherent stack.

The dabl platform
One core platform. Plug-in modules. No maze of subscriptions. Start with a site, then bolt on invoicing, basic accounting, customer contact forms, or a full ecommerce layer talking directly to your existing database.
Build-your-own website (but sane)
A modern alternative to WordPress/Wix with a simpler mental model: sections, blocks, and data sources. Designed for devs and power users, but friendly enough for everyone else.
Business ops in modular blocks
Turn on invoicing, basic accounting, and CRM-style contact forms from the same interface. Keep the stack tight, auditable, and easy to extend.
Ecommerce from your own database
Custom modules that plug into your existing database and expose a clean, fast ecommerce store — without migrating everything into a monolith.
Core modules
// composable by designSite engine
Sections, blocks, and layouts with support for custom components and theming.
Invoicing
Issue and track invoices, payments, and basic reports without leaving your site.
Accounting-lite
Lightweight ledger & summaries for small teams that don’t need full-blown ERP.
Contacts & forms
Customer forms feeding into a searchable contact store and email flows.
What we’re doing right now
Beyond the platform, we partner with teams who want a sharper, more opinionated stack. We typically work with SaaS companies, agencies, and product-heavy businesses.
Custom module builds
Modules wired directly into your existing database or internal tools, shipped as first-class citizens inside the dabl platform.
SaaS competitor design
Focused, fit-for-purpose tools that replace overpriced incumbents and are easier to maintain.
Migration & integrations
Careful planning, staged launches, and integrations into your existing stack instead of big-bang rewrites.
Who is dabl.dev?
We’re a small, deeply technical team that likes building tools we’d actually use: fast, modular, and not allergic to the command line. Our bias is toward maintainability, clean interfaces, and pricing that doesn’t punish growth.
