Build a selective revenue-sharing dashboard for founders
The Problem
Indie founders (over 100K active on Indie Hackers) avoid public MRR platforms like Indie Hackers due to copycats and reduced acquisition offers from full transparency. They currently use tools like Baremetrics ($50+/mo) for private tracking but lack selective sharing. Market data shows 20K+ solo founders sharing revenue selectively in private Discords.
Core Insight
Enables selective revenue-sharing dashboards with granular permissions (e.g., share MRR only with specific investors, hide from public), addressing gaps in public exposure of Indie Hackers/Baremetrics and lack of privacy controls.
- Target Customer
- Solo indie hackers building SaaS with $1K-$50K MRR (est. 50K globally, $1B+ annual tool spend aggregate).
- Revenue Model
- Tiered SaaS: Free for basic private dashboard; Pro $49/mo for selective sharing (undercuts Baremetrics $50); Enterprise $199/mo for advanced permissions and integrations
Competitive Landscape
Free community access; no paid dashboard tiers
Provides fully public MRR sharing in groups, lacking any selective or private sharing options for founders who want to avoid copycats and protect acquisition valuations. No revenue-sharing dashboard features for controlled transparency.
Free up to $10K monthly tracked revenue; Pro $119/mo; Pro+ $499/mo; Enterprise custom
Offers analytics dashboards for app revenue but no selective sharing controls or founder-focused revenue-sharing features; public benchmarks expose data without privacy options for indie founders.
Starts at $50/mo for Growth plan; custom for Enterprise
MRR dashboards with some sharing links, but lacks granular selective sharing to specific users and full public transparency options deter founders concerned about copycats; no revenue-sharing model.
Intro $100/mo (up to 100 MRR); Scale $250/mo+ based on MRR
Subscription analytics with shareable reports, but sharing is not selectively permissioned for specific audiences and exposes full metrics publicly, missing founder privacy needs.
Willingness to Pay
- $99/month
"We're paying $99/month for Baremetrics to track MRR, but wish we could share selectively with investors without public exposure."
