What you need to build a SAAS is a unique idea, business plan, marketing plan and revenue model. The technology is not really relevant.

What tools do I need to build a SAAS with Laravel ?
Hi friends,
Let's say that I am comfortable building complex apps with Laravel, what else would I need to build a SAAS (monthly susbscription) other than the following tools:
- Laravel
- Laravel Spark + Stripe
- Laravel Nova
- Vue & Maybe Intertia (if easy)
So that you understand, I know that I don't even know enough to realize what's needed for such a project. I am OK with Laravel and build many websites, but never a SAAS application
Please help with your advice, and expertise.
Thanks

@Snapey Let's say I have all that done and ready and well thought of. What tools would you use if you were in my place?
My SAAS idea will require users to pay monthly fees and have their own dashboard with a lot of requests coming to the application on daily bases.

@dipherent Laravel Spark is exactly what you need it will handle the billing and charging part if your users will be willing to pay for it ;-)

@aurawindsurfing Thanks for your feedback. I have Spark in my mind for that part and will use it. I just want to know if there is any other major tools used in SaaS applications that I am not aware of.

@dipherent The answer is no. What is SaaS? Software as a Service. So all you need to do is Spark to cater for Service/Subscription you provide. The app could be anything really as long as your users will be willing to pay for it.

Which ever you are comfortable and can find your way around easily will get your Saas up and running comparing will only eat your time

@dipherent A SaaS is no different to a “normal” application; especially if you’ve already built and comfortable building “complex” applications.
If you want to charge a subscription for customers to use your SaaS, then use Cashier.

Thank you all @martinbean @codebullet @snapey @aurawindsurfing for your feedback. I highly appreciate it.
I might come back to this post in the future to reflect on my journey and share my app with you.
