Real SaaS apps. Under $20/mo.
No vendor lock-in.
Stop overpaying for a vibe platform. Other stacks charge $80+/mo and you still don't own anything — you're renting four vendors and hoping none of them change their pricing. Tiger gives you everything you need to build and deploy real, portable, enterprise-grade SaaS apps, and you own your entire stack.

Everything a real SaaS needs — already built in
Not a starter kit you assemble from a dozen vendors. The boring-but-essential substrate is shipped, tested, and yours.
Four vendors, $80+/mo, and you still own nothing
The typical vibe stack is a thin client for someone else's platform. Tiger is the whole thing, on your filesystem.
| Typical vibe stack | Tiger | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $80+ — Vercel + Supabase + Auth + more | Under $20/mo on TigerDen |
| Page load | 2–3s across multiple network hops | ~10ms — single process, no external calls |
| Portability | Locked to 4+ vendors; migration = rewrite | Zip, move, unzip — runs anywhere PHP + MariaDB runs |
| Auth / ACL | Scattered across vendor SDKs and JWT hacks | Built-in, framework-level, battle-tested |
| Multi-tenancy | Bolt-on afterthought | Baked into the architecture |
| Ownership | A thin client for someone else's platform | You own everything on the filesystem |
| Offline / air-gap | Dead without internet — an empty shell | Fully functional, zero external dependencies |
| Frontend | Opinionated — Vite / Webpack required | No-build; bring whatever you want |
You control the AI. You control the code.
Tiger is purpose-built for AI-assisted development. Bring your own Claude Code subscription and start building — no proprietary AI middleman taking a cut or adding latency. You control the infrastructure, top to bottom.
- No per-seat AI markup
- No added latency hop
- Your keys, your rules
- The code stays yours
Pick how you want to run it
From a one-click server to a Composer command — same Tiger, your choice of on-ramp.
TigerDen
Your own Tiger server, launched on demand and live in minutes — TigerSSL, TigerShield, and TigerPASS included, your AI agent ready to go. We launch it and hand you the keys; you own and drive the box. Zero setup to go live, no build step, no server to stand up.
TigerInstall
Already have shared hosting? TigerInstall gets you running with a one-click setup on any standard LAMP host — no shell, no Composer, no DevOps.
Tiger + Composer
A functional SaaS app in seconds. Own it from the first commit.
Tiger + Docker
Spin up a full local environment in seconds. Build locally, deploy anywhere PHP + MariaDB runs.
Your app. Where you put it.
No export APIs. No proprietary formats. No six-month replatforming projects. No consultant budgets. TigerBackup is the whole migration story:
Tiger runs on any box with PHP and MariaDB — a $5 VPS, bare metal, even a Raspberry Pi. Your app doesn't phone home to four vendors to figure out whether it's allowed to run. It's yours. It runs where you put it.
BSD-3 licensed. No gotchas.
Tiger is free, open-source software under the BSD-3 license. No relicensing surprises. Build what you want, deploy where you want, keep everything you build.
TigerDen is an instant-launch hosting service: we provision your dedicated Tiger server and hand you the keys — you own and operate the box. It is not a fully-managed service. Pricing and on-ramps shown reflect the launch lineup; some options roll out through launch.
