Building custom software used to be reserved for companies with the headcount and budget to afford it. Now that code is free, that’s no longer true. AI-assisted development means teams can build exactly what they need without settling for the limitations of standard SaaS.
Retool’s 2026 Build vs. Buy Shift Report found that 35% of teams have already replaced at least one SaaS tool with something custom-built, and 60% are doing it outside official IT channels.
Join Retool CEO, David Hsu, and Sequoia Partner, Bryan Schreier, for a 30 minute candid conversation where they’ll cover:
- How and why the SaaS replacement conversation is really different this time.
- What happens when org governance can’t keep up with new builders.
- Where SaaS goes from here.
