I agree. With services you also feel that you are captive and paying for stuff that you don't even use, but if you stop you lose your data or might not be able to come back in the future, so you keep it running "in case I need it" or "I will use it at some point". I also think software is way overpriced, especially when it comes to services that mostly just rent a server for $5/mo and resell it for $100/mo with not a lot of real value added on top. I think it makes more sense to buy the app/product and choose the server yourself, and pay $5/mo for the server or like $100/mo for a REALLY powerful server, not for a plan with "100k visits, 30 days retention". On point 2), if no one buys your product anymore you can just stop supporting it and "kill it". Being a software product it usually doesn't break over time, unless it's something based on other volatile APIs. Take games for example, they sell as a lifetime software license, games released 20 years ago can usually still run without problems and without any maintenence. I do somewhat openly share the revenue, currently I have myan estimated revenue shown on the IndieHackers page, but being only a product up until now, the revenue varies from month to month (not as stable as a SaaS). Currently it's around $1000/mo as I'm not doing any marketing, I still get sells from people coming from Google or from word of mouth. I usually try to update the IH page as soon as a big milestone is reached. I think userTrack could be listed on MakeHub (from what I read, as I'm a solo founder, no funding, public revenue).
