B2B SaaS here, if you are asking about the gross margin (revenue minus cost of goods sold), I've always kept it above 90%. I'm careful not to use expensive hosting (like AWS) and I keep a close eye on COGS at all times.

- zabana 3y agoI run a serverless stack on AWS and my only cost is a minimal RDS instance that runs me about $15/month. I'm genuinely curious as to where this reputation for expensive hosting comes from.
- icedchai 3y agoIf you do anything requiring 24x7 compute on EC2 (tons of CPU cores and memory), it adds up real quick. What does your app do?
