A Sovrium app — a sales CRM dashboard rendered from a single config file

The SaaS Trap

106 SaaS apps. $21M wasted.

The average organization uses 106 SaaS apps and wastes $21M annually on unused licenses.

Productiv, Zylo 2025

Lock-in

Your data lives in silos you don’t control. Proprietary formats, closed APIs, and zero portability mean your business runs on someone else’s terms.

Cost Spiral

Per-seat pricing compounds against you. What starts at $10/user quietly becomes $50, then $100, and you’re too locked in to leave.

Platform Decay

Free tiers shrink, paywalls expand, switching costs grow. Airtable cut free API calls from unlimited to 1,000. Notion eliminated its AI add-on. This pattern is structural, not accidental.

There’s a better way.

One Config. Full Application.

Sovrium turns a simple configuration file into a complete business application: authentication, database, API, pages, and admin panel included.

name: company-crm

tables:
  - name: contacts
    fields:
      - name: full_name
        type: single-line-text
        required: true
      - name: email
        type: email
        required: true
      - name: stage
        type: single-select
        options: ['Lead', 'Qualified', 'Customer']
      - name: deal_value
        type: currency
        currency: USD

auth:
  strategies:
    - type: emailAndPassword

pages:
  - name: home
    path: /
    meta: { title: Company CRM }

Start from any format:

sovrium start app.yaml            # YAML (recommended)
sovrium start app.json            # JSON
bun run app.ts                    # TypeScript with full type safety

Frequently asked questions

What is Sovrium?

Sovrium is a self-hosted, configuration-driven platform. You define your tables, authentication, pages, and theme in one config file and deploy a complete application on your own infrastructure.

Is Sovrium free?

Yes. Self-hosting is free under the BSL 1.1 license — every feature, no license key, no per-seat fees. Managed hosting (Sovrium Cloud) and Partner plans are optional paid services.

How is it different from Airtable, Retool, or Notion?

Your data and source live on your own infrastructure, not a vendor cloud. No lock-in, no per-seat pricing, and you can edit the config with any editor or AI agent.

Do I need to be a developer?

Sovrium targets technical teams, but its config is human-readable (YAML, JSON, or TypeScript) and AI-assistant-friendly, so the whole team can contribute.
