🙅♀️🙅 Pessimists
Negative Nancy says - “I don’t think people need apps to manage their finances. By default, people can understand where they are spending much and what can be cut down”
Me - While some individuals may naturally have a good sense of their spending habits, personal financial management apps can help many people. These apps provide automated tracking, offering a more detailed and accurate overview of finances. They can identify patterns, highlight areas for potential savings, and simplify the budgeting process. Fina is one such financial management app that is used by thousands of users, crossed $10K in revenue & $2K MRR in 4 months.
Negative Nancy says - “Google Analytics is already giving analytics for free. Who would pay for privacy analytics?”
Me - While Google Analytics provides valuable insights, privacy analytics tools offer a distinct advantage. With increasing concerns about data privacy, users are willing to invest in tools that prioritize protecting sensitive information. Founders are willing to pay for the added value, specialized features, and heightened privacy protection that dedicated privacy analytics tools can offer. Plausible crossed $1.2M in annual revenue. WPLytic building privacy analytics for Wordpress ecosystem reached $2K/month in revenue.
