Choosing single-tenant vs multi-tenant SaaS affects pricing, security questionnaires, and engineering velocity. Spygar designs both—and migrations between them—on multi-tenant SaaS development and SaaS migration projects.
Multi-tenant wins on cost and velocity; single-tenant wins when isolation is the deal-maker—hybrid is often the honest answer.
Quick comparison
- Cost — multi-tenant usually cheaper to operate at scale
- Isolation — single-tenant (or DB-per-tenant) is easier to explain to security teams
- Release speed — one multi-tenant deploy ships fixes to everyone
- Customization — single-tenant invites dangerous one-off forks
