Micro SaaS Ideas for SaaS Founders
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI-powered Personal Finance Co-Pilot
Many people lack the time or knowledge to optimize their money and make the best decisions to reach their short-term and long-term financial goals. With multiple income streams, bank accounts, cards, loans, subscriptions, and investment accounts, it's challenging to stay on top of one's complete financial picture.
Create an AI-powered personal finance app that securely integrates with all of a user's financial accounts and provides personalized guidance. It can help users plan and track progress towards financial goals like saving for a home, retirement, or paying off debt. The app would automatically categorize transactions and track spending by category. The AI would analyze all the data to uncover insights and provide personalized advice on investments and expense management. It should provide timely alerts when off-track and give tips to course-correct. You can include some gamification aspect to encourage positive financial habits like challenges, badges etc. for reaching milestones.
Check out Plaid that offers APIs to securely connect with users' financial accounts. For inspiration see WeFIRE , which is a personal finance app to help users achieve Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE). It has reached $1.2K in monthly revenue. Coplit.Money is a Mac/iOS app in this niche that raised $6M in funding.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for Real Estate Market Research
There are numerous factors that have an impact on the property values making real estate market research complex and time consuming. Develop a micro saas that helps investors in making informed decisions by aggregating relevant data including market trends, rental rates, crime data, demographic and economic statistics, property-specific details, geographic and environmental information, regulatory data etc.
Instead of a general real estate market analysis tool, the platform can focus on niche markets such as vacation rentals, luxury properties or for specific regions etc.
HouseCanary is an AI-powered residential real estate data and analytics tool with an estimated revenue of $17.1M/year. See also BrightInvestor that reached $9K MRR within a year. PropertyShark.com another player in this niche has an estimated annual revenue is $4.9M
⛳ 💡 Affirmation-Based Habit Tracking App
An Affirmation-based habit tracking app that combines the power of positive affirmations with habit tracking features can help users build and sustain healthy habits. By including affirmations, the app can addresses the mental barriers that make it hard to form habits.
Users should be able to create and track their desired habits, set specific goals, frequencies etc. for each habit. Use AI to generate personalized affirmations based on the user's habits, goals and preferences. The app can include audio recordings of affirmations, allowing users to listen to them during meditation, exercise or daily activities.
Believe is an app that provides a collection of positive affirmations and reminders. It has reached $2k MMR.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI Product Photography
Many small online businesses often have a hard time presenting their products well because taking professional-looking photos can be expensive and needs expertise.
Develop a micro saas for AI product photography. The tool would allow users to upload basic photos of their products. The AI would then enhance these images by automatically removing and replacing backgrounds for a professional look.
Allow users to upload and enhance multiple images simultaneously, integrate with platforms like Shopify to facilitate direct uploads and updates of product images on users' online stores. Pebblely in this space started in early 2023 and has now thousands of users.
⛳ 💡 Micro-SaaS for Employee Pulse Survey [B2B SaaS]
Employee Pulse Survey tools helps companies understand how their employees feel about their work. It's like a quick check-in to see if employees are happy and engaged. When employees share their thoughts, companies can make improvements. It can boost morale and productivity. It shows employees that their opinions matter. Over time, it can help reduce turnover and attract new talent. It's a way for companies to create a better work environment for everyone, and it's a win for both employees and the company.
Some products like OfficeVibe Pulse Survey and Teamspective Pulse made good progress into this. This can be either a standalone product by itself or can be Slack plugin or a Google Workspace addon. These products charge around $5/month/user and with an organisation with 100-1000 users, every new customer would bring in $500 - $5000/m.
⛳ 💡 A unified platform for Coaches and Personal Trainers
Personal coaches and personal trainers often need a system that typically includes functionalities for client management, scheduling, tasks/workout planning, progress tracking, communication, and often integrates with payment systems. Platforms like these aims to streamline and centralise the workflow for coaches and trainers, allowing them to efficiently manage their clients, create personalised plans, monitor progress, and communicate effectively, all within one system.
FitSW is an all-in-one app for personal trainers, coaches, and gyms. FitSW is bootstrapped to $50K monthly revenue in 4 years and now with an estimated annual revenue is currently $1.9M. PTDistinction is also a good example of SaaS product in this space meant exclusively for personal trainers and coaches. PTDistinction is used by 40K training businesses around the world.
