   Nailed it. Definitely a conspiracy theory here. Probably even fraud if you squint and cross your eyes a bit.

   Really any "recurring subscription" business will work just fine as long as you're using subscriptions/plans within Stripe. "SaaS" is indeed infinitely easier to market to and in reality is the lions share of &

    Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like Baremetrics might not be the right product for you. :)

    Right now we're focused squarely on Stripe. They make it stupid easy to build on top of (thanks to Stripe Connect). May expand way down the road, but that's waaayyyy down the road.

    There's only one way to validate your idea when building a sustainable business: money. No money? No valid idea. Doesn't mean it's a bad idea...it just means it's not valid from a business perspective. But getting feed

    Thanks! I'm a one-man show on Baremetrics (no team or outsourcing) and I get a relatively decent amount of sleep. :) I put a big emphasis on shipping fast and frequently. So, push small bits of larger things out the door. Incremental p

    That's because those folks are doing it wrong. :) They're throwing crap-tons of money hoping something will stick.

    Dan, I don't spend any money on bringing in new customers. The only money I spend on any marketing at all is via retargeting.

    Kyle! Thanks for the comment. As with anything anywhere ever, YMMV. Just because a metric is bogus for one business doesn't mean it is across the board. I have a phone call with almost every new customer and the data from those calls s

    Thanks! 1) Not currently. At this point no other payment gateways provide the data that Stripe offers without a additional dev work required on the user's part to integrate. Braintree might work, but it's hard to say. Stripe doe

    I've had a couple of people ask if it was possible. Technically would be easy to do, but seems like an edge case that very few would actually use. Fear is also people would be scared of accidentally turning it on so it'd dissuad

    It's entirely possible and very realistic. I built a SaaS product in the equivalent of about a 7-8 working days that 4 weeks in had $1000 in MRR and 8 weeks later is double that. http://joshpigford.com/baremetrics-strip

    They do not. They show a few really basic gross revenue/transaction bits, but not really anything useful.
