We have a successful, growing, niche b2b saas product. A few of our larger customers have expressed interest in paying for missing features. These are in general good ideas that we'd like to build anyway in time, but the relatively small size of our dev team and the complexity of the product means it will take longer than they'd like.

In the early days of the product, we did a lot of billing for specific features and it led to a lot of stress, ux incoherence, and a total shift of focus from our product to project management, which I personally am not very good at.

Are there alternatives means of partnering with customers that would give us the resources to develop faster without loosing our focus on the overall product and committment to quality over deadlines?
