Not long ago, I tried to answer that exact question. These are the notes and time log: https://spreadsheettimeline.com/dev_notes/

Two full days, start to end. It's slightly different from a SaaS like you describe. No user login and no database. The time all went toward the UI and front-end functionality.

The app you describe with signup & CRUD would take 4-5 hours. With Laravel/MySQL as a stack. Laravel has excellent third-party modules for the user management pieces.
