What Makes a Good Micro-SaaS?
Solves a Specific Problem
Not everything for everyone. One pain point, solved well.
Can Be Built by One Person
No team needed. Manageable scope that one developer can maintain.
Recurring Revenue Model
Monthly subscriptions beat one-time purchases for sustainability.
Existing Demand
People already searching for solutions. Don't educate a market.
Low Customer Support
Self-serve product that doesn't require constant hand-holding.
