I’m curious about what’s realistically possible right now.

If someone has little to no coding experience, can they build and launch a complete SaaS product using free/open-source AI models and AI coding tools?

Or, at some point, do you realistically need to pay for AI models/APIs to build something reliable and production-ready?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually built and launched SaaS products this way.

🔵What was your experience?

🔵Free models vs paid models?

🔵What did you use for coding?

🔵What were the biggest limitations of free models?

🔵Could you get a real product to production without spending much money?
