run a 15 person agency paying 2500 a month for Salesforce. We use maybe 20 percent of it. I built a working clone with Claude Code in two days. Hosting is 30 bucks. Tempting right.<div>
</div><div>But I am the only coder here. If this thing breaks during a pitch, I am cooked. I also worry about integrations with Gmail and QuickBooks. Will they hold up.</div><div>
</div><div>Has anyone successfully made this jump. What fell apart first. Was it permissions, reporting, or just daily bugs. How many hours a week do you actually spend maintaining your AI built system.</div><div>
</div><div>Also did you ever hit a point where you gave up and went back to the real SaaS. I want to know if the savings are real or just an illusion.</div><div>
</div><div>We have about 200 active deals and no crazy workflows. I am not trying to be cheap, just practical. But I also cannot afford a disaster.</div><div>
</div><div>Tell me your war stories, both wins and fails.</div><div>
