Crossed 1,000 users today and still can't quite believe it

{93 % of users are on free tire - dint want to overhype the situation so mentioned it}

Soo couple of months ago I built a tool for myself because I was tired of taking bad entries in stocks and crypto.

Today:

- 1,040 signups

- 25k+ DeepSearch

- 42k+ screenshot analyzed

- 200 hours of DeepLive

- MRR positive for 3 consecutive months

- Still a one-man project

- 0 ad spend - just SEO (my website write Auto blogs from chartscans )

The funny part is I never planned to build a SaaS. I just made it as a website to feed my Ai with data and impore it's accuracy.

Now I'm at a crossroads.

85% of the platform is free. Users can do unlimited scans, but advanced predictive analysis sits behind a $25/month plan.

Now I am thinking 🤔

  1. Keep the soft paywall and focus on growth

  2. Introduce a harder paywall after X scans and optimize revenue

For founders who have already crossed this stage, what would you do?

Little bit scared of introducing hard paywall that might kill my momentum...
