Validate business model for my chrome extension (~75K users)

Hi IHs,

Requestly (www.requestly.in) is a chrome and firefox extension which allows users to modify network requests, set up redirects, modify request and response headers, modify user agent, inject user scripts, host files, share rules etc. Currently, Requestly has ~75K user including Chrome and Firefox users.

Requestly is used by web developers for debugging purposes and digital marketers for site experimentation/optimization purposes. I do not know the ratio though. You can check out the product on chrome store (http://bit.ly/requestly-chrome-store).

I am working on Requestly for last 4 years in my part-time but now I have started working full time on it. I am exploring possible options on how can I convert it into a business.

Some stats from Google Analytics (https://www.indiehackers.com/product/requestly/traffic)

• Everyday active page visits: ~3-4K

• Monthly active visits: ~100-120K

• UserBase: ~75K (Including chrome and Firefox)

Currently, I get ~150-200$ per month as advertisement revenue from Google Ads.

I am thinking to build some more advanced features and only premium users can use them. Standard users can see the feature but with locked icon.

Any pointers here will be really helpful. Needless to mention if someone tries out the product and have some feedback, I will more than happy to discuss.

Sachin,
