Guys my SaaS just hit 100 MRR!

I can't believe it, I never thought this was also possible for me but after six months of continuously improving my SaaS and adding new features every couple of days I have reached 100€ MRR today!

Initially I only offered one-time-payments because I thought there was nothing valuable I could offer for people to pay me monthly but after I launched a subscription model just 20 days ago, I was really surprised that it made the first 2 sales on day 1 and 2 after launch :)

I've built IndieAppCircle, a platform where small app developers can upload their apps and other people can give them feedback in exchange for credits. I grew it by posting about it here on Reddit. It didn't explode or something but I managed to get some slow but steady growth.

Previously you were only able to buy credits as one-time-payments but I've added a "Growth Plan" where you get 100 credits each month and your app gets displayed on featured spots on the landing and home page.

For those of you who never heard about IndieAppCircle, it works like this:

  • You can earn credits by testing indie apps (fun + you help other makers)
  • You can use credits to get your own app tested by real people
  • No fake accounts -> all testers are real users
  • Test more apps -> earn more credits -> your app will rank higher -> you get more visibility and more testers/users

Since many people suggested it to me in the comments, I have also created a community for IndieAppCircle: r/IndieAppCircle (you can ask questions or just post relevant stuff there).

Currently, there are 2432 users, 1879 tests done and 581 apps uploaded!

You can check it out here (it's totally free): https://www.indieappcircle.com/

I'm glad for any feedback/suggestions/roasts in the comments.
