Yes. If one will take you, say, 3 months and the other 8 months, then the choice is easy, do the quick one. If they're similar in terms of how hard/how long it

Yes. If one will take you, say, 3 months and the other 8 months, then the choice is easy, do the quick one.
If they're similar in terms of how hard/how long it'll take, you'll need to share some more detail here (else we get a really long IF ELSE tree.)
Is one revenue based (ie. Saas) and the other audience based (ie. Facebook)?
Is one in a competitive field and the other not?
- keiferski 16y ago1. They both roughly have similar timeframes. 2. One targets entrepreneurs, while the other targets virtually everyone (consumer-based.) The former is SaaS, while the latter is free to start but costs more to remove ads/add features. It doesn't necessarily need a lot of users to be successful (not something like Facebook) but the experience of the site is better with more people. 3. Both have virtually no competition and solve significant problems. Sorry for being so sneaky and vague about it, but there's nothing out there like either of these ideas, so I'm a bit hesitant to broadcast on a savvy community like HN.
- notahacker 16y agoThe former sounds like you have a clearly defined market and revenue model and need fewer users and less user engagement to succeed. Unless you've invested large amounts of time in and/or have a greater interest in persisting with the other one, it sounds like the SaaS option wins.
