The verdict in three sentences
In 2026, a conversion-focused B2B marketing website for a SaaS sits between 2,500,000 and 6,000,000 FCFA (3,800 to 9,150 EUR), depending on the tier and product integrations. The dynamic pricing page adds 800,000 FCFA and the analytics/CRM integration around 1,200,000 FCFA, two lines that directly drive conversion. Plan for 4 to 8 weeks of production, 100,000 to 250,000 FCFA/month of maintenance and 50,000 FCFA/month of EU hosting.
Starter versus Growth: which tier for a SaaS?
For a SaaS, the marketing site is a conversion funnel: demo, pricing, product proof. The Starter tier validates a market; Growth industrializes acquisition with dynamic pricing and integrations.
| Criterion | Starter | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Price 2026 | 2,500,000-3,500,000 FCFA | 4,000,000-6,000,000 FCFA |
| EUR equivalent | 3,800-5,340 EUR | 6,100-9,150 EUR |
| Pages | 6-8 | 10-15 |
| Pricing | Static | Dynamic (monthly/annual) |
| Integrations | Basic analytics | Analytics + CRM + demo |
| Timeline | 4-5 weeks | 6-8 weeks |
| Conversion target | Market validation | Scalable acquisition |
Moving to Growth is justified as soon as you spend on paid acquisition: the dynamic pricing page and CRM tracking turn paid traffic into trials and qualified demos.
Conversion options and recurring costs
A SaaS site lives on after launch. Here are the high-impact options and the recurring costs to plan for in the quote.
| Line item | Cost 2026 | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic pricing page | +800,000 FCFA | Option |
| Analytics + CRM integration | 1,200,000 FCFA | Option |
| Demo booking (Calendly/CRM) | +400,000 FCFA | Option |
| Product blog / SEO | +900,000 FCFA | Option |
| Monthly maintenance | 100,000-250,000 FCFA/month | Recurring |
| EU hosting (latency, GDPR) | 50,000 FCFA/month | Recurring |
The analytics/CRM integration is the most profitable line: without measuring the demo-trial-subscription funnel, you cannot optimize acquisition. It is the foundation of any data-driven SaaS.
Mini case study
Aminata, founder of a B2B HR SaaS in Dakar, budgets a Growth site at 5,000,000 FCFA with dynamic pricing and CRM integration. Her SaaS is billed at 24,900 FCFA/month per client. The site lifts the visitor-to-trial conversion rate from 1.2% to 2.8% on 4,000 visits/month, i.e. about 64 trials/month instead of 48. With a 25% trial-to-paid rate, that adds 4 paying clients/month, or 99,600 FCFA of additional MRR/month, roughly 1,195,000 FCFA of additional annual recurring revenue in the first year. The site pays back in about 5 months of growth.

FAQ
Why price in FCFA rather than EUR for a Dakar SaaS?
Because your billing and cash flow are in FCFA: reasoning in local currency avoids FX risk. The EUR equivalent (3,800-9,150 EUR) mainly helps compare with international offers.
Is the dynamic pricing page worth 800,000 FCFA?
Yes as soon as you offer monthly and annual across several tiers. It raises conversion by clarifying the offer and pushing annual commitment, often more profitable.
Do I need EU hosting from Dakar?
It is recommended for latency toward Europe and GDPR compliance if you target European clients. At 50,000 FCFA/month, it is a marginal cost for a credibility gain.
What is the timeline for a SaaS site in 2026?
Plan 4 to 5 weeks for Starter, 6 to 8 for Growth. The availability of product content and screenshots is often the limiting factor.
Starter or Growth for a launch?
Starter if you are still validating the market, Growth as soon as you invest in paid acquisition. Growth pays off quickly thanks to dynamic pricing and CRM tracking.
