The process of actually building a saas product is really confusing to me at first and everyone on inyernet is saying "I used claude and make 10k with my saas" the amount of lies out there is just insane which has also made me go insane and confused the real fact which i have learn is that saas is probably one of the worse thing you may start when you are in desperate need of money its lengthy you need time and will make alot of mistakes to even get a semi finish product plus distribut...

Not sure if this is the right sub, mods feel free to remove. I built a small app called Lamponi and I want some honest feedback before I push it any further. Backstory: I used Granola for a while and liked the notes, but two things bugged me. It doesn't actually record the audio, so I could never listen back to what was said. And it doesn't let you label who is speaking, so the transcript was one wall of text with no idea who said what. On top of that I was using Loom separately to record my...

Yo folks! I’ve been building Relayys, its** **tool to stop wasting ad spend on bot clicks (because let's be honest, Google and Meta ads are plagued with fake traffic, and their default attribution tools are blind to it). I was getting ready for an early access launch but had zero budget or skill to make a sleek video. I ended up using Claude to map out a clean, minimalist storyboard, animate the concept, and put together this quick launch clip. I sent the video to a few beta prospects on ...

Hi, I've been staring at my own SaaS for so long that I can't see it clearly anymore. Is the same happening to you too? I am looking for other SaaS owners who can give me critical feedback and I am willing to do the same for their SaaS. Just 2 entrepreneurs sharing their knowledge and helping each other. We both get real feedback from someone who's also in the trenches and we both walk away seeing our products the way users actually see them. If you are interested just leave a commen...

Let’s be real: If a dev isn’t daily-driving AI today, they’re falling behind. Yet, our hiring loops still act like it’s 2015. We block internet access, ban Copilot, and test for rote memorization instead of how they actually work. It feels like testing a modern driver on how well they can ride a horse. I got tired of this hypocrisy, so I spent the last few weeks building an MVP called DevTrace . Instead of just grading the final code, it actually measures how an engineer collaborates w...

Its been almost a month since we launched paid plan. First week we just got 1 organic payment, post which we doubled down on ads and influencer marketing while no results initially even after that, payments started racking up slowly and now have started scaling. Week 1:- our funnel and system was broken and we realised that pretty late in the week Week 2:- We launched ads Google Ads which has worked the best for us 4 weeks down with the lowest cpr, but initially we just burned through cas...

Genuinely curious, not here to pitch anything. I've tried a handful of channels so far: cold outreach to local businesses (got polite silence 22 times in a row), marketplace listings that depend on search traffic I can't control (and am not getting), and asking people in my niche for their expertise instead of pitching them, which at least got real replies but has led nowhere. Would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you! [link] ...

I offer a 3-day trial, but it's been 4 days and I still haven't been able to complete the payment.

I run a store for web apps called Moon where I personally open every submission before it goes live. After about 95 of these, the first minute almost always decides it, and the reasons apps fail are weirdly consistent. The biggest killer is the link not going to a product. Waitlists, book-a-demo walls, coming soon pages. If I can't use the thing today it isn't live, and this alone kills more submissions than everything else combined. Second is screenshots that are just logos. Your bran...

I will evaluate your SaaS end to end, I will identify what makes the SaaS good or what breaks user flow even an AI couldn't identify. First 10 commenters I will pay for a month, rest I will give general feedback. I will be your first feedback provider. Let's roll..

As a founder, users matter to us. But like everyone else, I also rode the same bike as you. That is, keeping your app free at the initial stage gets users, and then you can start monetization. Every YouTube video or mentor says it's business, charge from day 1, but as a founder who has seen Sam Altman give ChatGPT for free for more than a year and then start charging, I don't understand those answers. I ran ads choose to start with Google Ads, but guess what It worked but as a fool I'm runni...

Was job hunting in a rough market and got tired of tailoring the same CV over and over, so I built a small tool to do it properly for each job and grade it before I send. It helped me land a role. A few friends tried it, worked for them too, so I put it online. Somehow it's at €2k MRR now. Really happy. Job market is brutal right now so it feels good to have built something that actually helps people.

I spent the last month building a site that I feel is very useful to a specific subset of people in its field. The site hosts a database with tens of thousands of pages that consist of largely obscure people/groups/companies/etc. Around a week ago I revamped my SEO in google search console just with gpt and claude. Because of the lack of market saturation, when you search for something covered on the site, it's usually ranked fairly high. The result has been almost immediate organic traffi...

Hey guys how are you doing today? Trying to get a realistic picture across different products. I keep seeing two extremes: people spending ~$50/mo and people quietly bleeding $5-10k+/mo on inference. So I'm collecting data points. If you've got AI/LLM features in production: roughly what's your monthly AI bill? what's driving most of it (which feature or model)? have you done anything to bring it down, and did it actually work? I'll share what I'm seeing in the comments. Lets...

We're trying to decide between a turnkey branded payroll experience or building the workflow ourselves on top of an API. Engineering wants to keep it lean but I'm worried we're underestimating everything that comes after launch. If you've already done this, what actually consumed the most time? The integration itself or support, compliance and multi-state payroll?

Our product already handles crews, timesheets and job sites. Customers keep asking why payroll still means exporting everything into a different tool. The hard part isn't really calculating pay, it's the W-2 vs contractor mess across states, plus registrations and withholding. For anyone who's added payroll to a platform like this, did you go API or white-label and what actually ate your time after launch, not the stuff you expected? [link] ...

Hey, Over the last few weeks I’ve been building modern landing pages and waitlists using Framer, focused specifically on SaaS and solo founders. Here are the 4 sites I made: PulseSaas – My main service site High-converting, animated Framer websites delivered in 7-14 days. → https://pulsesaas.framer.website/ NovaWait – Clean waitlist page → https://novawait.framer.website/ FlowForge – Full SaaS landing page (AI workflows) → https://flowforgefactory.framer.website/ Ap...

I feel like a missing name on my product is working against me on my project. "Trust" seems like a valuable detail in my project. I promote my project in a few places and I can't help but think that it's kinda like doxxing myself. I've always thought that it's usually not a good idea. How are others approaching decisions around this?

After running and growing my own businesses for over 18 years, I've gradually developed a financial management system that I use every day to understand where the business actually stands financially. Over the last year I've turned that system into software, but something has dawned on me over the last few weeks. I don't actually think the software is the product. The method is. The software simply makes it much easier to follow consistently. The idea isn't to replace bookkeeping or accounti...

Welcome to our series of sharing 30 actionable Saas advice in 30 days. On Day 2, we’re talking about marketing too late and treating it as an afterthought. Many founders treat marketing as a post-launch chore. They build the product in a vacuum, and only once it’s "ready" do they start thinking about distribution, positioning, or copy. By then, it's often too late. You end up trying to answer fundamental questions that should have shaped the codebase from day one: Who is this actu...

Hi guys, I started building my saas a month ago, and I reached the "marketing" phase phase before the launch. I struggle with visibility. People do not answer my cold emails, and I just feel like giving up. I feel bad for myself because I talked with very few people, and the product in itself is interesting and is useful for my niche. Is it normal to feel that way ? What should I do ?

I've been building an AI SaaS in marketing for the past 8 months with a lean team of just two people. For the last 3 months, we've been consistently doing around $1,500 MRR, and one thing I'm really happy about is that our churn has been close to zero during that time. We haven't spent a dollar on paid ads yet. Everything has come from organic marketing, and we're averaging 3-4 demo calls every week. The challenge is that I don't come from a marketing or growth background. Engineering and ...

I’ve got my SaaS to 200 users in a month (not paying obviously), I’ve been posting daily on X, TT, Snap, FB, Insta, and YT (I just cross post so this really only counts as one) But other than that what other methods are you guys using to market your SaaS?

I kept running into the same annoying thing as a solo founder. Every time I needed a social card or a launch graphic, I'd open canva or chatgpt and basically re-explain my whole product from scratch, my positioning, my tone, who it's for. Every tool starts from zero, so I ended up being the memory, and the results were inconsistent because I was tired and slightly different each time. So I built Sitesyn. You paste your SaaS URL, it reads your live site and builds an editable "memory"...

I launched my little SaaS two days ago and had been posting about it on X almost every day. It was getting some traffic, but not a single signup. After staring at the landing page for way too long, I realized the problem wasn't the productit was the hero headline. I rewrote one sentence to better explain what the product actually does. A few hours later, I got my first user. It honestly surprised me how much impact a single headline could have. If you want to check that here it is ...

Sat there staring at the notification for a solid minute. Three and a half months ago I was refreshing Stripe hoping for a single $24 sale. This is the fifth or sixth time someone's paid for a full year upfront and it hasn't stopped hitting the same way. Nothing else comes close as an immediate motivation boost. Our SaaS two of us, no funding, no paid spend at all. Over $7k in revenue now after 3.5 Months with 5,500+ signups. (Here the stripe link: https://profile.stripe.com/checkvibedev/Zu...

I don't normally know much about SEO and GEO this is actually my first project, and it's only been three months so far. These are the results; I know they'll increase in the long run. We're building solid authority using Claude and Codex. what do you think?
