Faceless SaaS micro-app

🧾 receipts

• Marc Lou / @levelsio / @mtmd-mt micro-SaaS operatorsMarc Lou ships 20+ tiny SaaS w/ public revenue dashboards — multiple at $5-30K MRR each. Pieter Levels public dashboards routinely show $30-100K/mo per app at peak.

• Cataloged in r/SaaS + r/IndieHackers dailyThe 'find a niche pain → wrap GPT API → charge $9-39/mo' wedge is the most documented indie SaaS pattern of 2024-2026. New apps cross $1-5K MRR within 60 days routinely; many die before $10K. Volume is the hedge.

🚀 how to start

1. 01Pick a sharp pain. Best wedges: insecurity (looks / dating / income comparison), repetitive ops task (writing review responses, generating product descriptions), or one-off content (cover letters, LinkedIn intros). Avoid 'AI for X' if X is broad.
2. 02Build the MVP in a weekend. Claude Code + Next.js + Stripe + a single OpenAI/Claude prompt. Hard cap on scope — one input, one output, one button. The job of v1 is to validate someone pays, not to be a real product.
3. 03Pricing: $9-39/mo or $39-79/one-time. Weekly subs ($4-9/wk) work surprisingly well for fix-this-pain-RIGHT-NOW use cases. Free trial w/ credit card up front kills tire-kickers.
4. 04Distribution: TikTok + IG slideshows demoing before/after, Reddit organic on niche subs (genuinely useful comments + URL in profile, never linkdrop), Product Hunt launch when you have receipts.
5. 05Stack 3-5 of these before optimizing any single one. Most will die at $0-200 MRR; one will randomly hit $5-30K. The whole point is the portfolio bet, not the individual app.
