- Choose Dev.to if: You want to write highly technical programming tutorials and coding guides for other software engineers to learn from. - Choose BuildInProcess if: You are a founder building a product and want to document your business journey, share MRR milestones, and market your SaaS to early adopters. - Try both if: You want to publish your pure coding tutorials on Dev.to, but use BuildInProcess as the central marketing hub and devlog for your actual startup.
Ready to build your startup in public? → [Start Free on BuildInProcess](https://buildinprocess.com)How BuildInProcess stacks up against Dev.to
Yes, creating a product page and posting your development updates is completely free.
Yes, many technical founders use Dev.to for deep, technical coding tutorials, and use BuildInProcess to share the business and product updates for their SaaS.
For marketing a product, yes. Dev.to is an excellent place to share code, but it is not optimized for product discovery or tracking a founder's 'build in public' milestones.
You can easily link your major technical write-ups from Dev.to as milestones on your BuildInProcess Product Page.
Founders often find that the Dev.to audience is primarily looking for coding help, not new SaaS products to buy. They switch to BuildInProcess to reach an audience of early adopters.
