I run a saas that is profitable: https://PhantomJsCloud.com https://PhantomJsCloud.com
It's a pretty simple concept: providing PhantomJs or Chrome Headless as a REST API.
The thing is, the SaaS itself is only about 1/3 the work. You need a website, account management, and billing too.
Today, there are perhaps other services you could leverage that can help reduce this initial burden (Kong?) but a few years ago when I started my SaaS, nothing really met my needs. Hope it's easier for everyone now!
- tequila_shot 8y agoHow much are you earning on this?
- novaleaf 8y agosub 10k MRR. I need to expand the offering, and there's actually a lot of competitors in this space. My USP is low cost and high scaleability.
- paultopia 8y agoWoah, that's really cool. I've been meaning to run my own headless browser in the cloud for personal scraping tasks and such, and may now sign up for your free tier. :-)
- uelga22 8y agoI am using browserless for a niche project.. Seems this space is taking off slightly
- klohto 8y agoIsn't PhantomJS basically unsupported at this point?
- novaleaf 8y agoyeah, bad name choice. right now the default browser I use is Chrome, but people can still use PhantomJs if they want. I'll make a more generic domain name sometime in the future (lots of stuff to do....)
