A database of 1700+ SaaS making money

👍

Great advice.. can't thank enough for this.. will def reach out.

Full disclaimer, you may not see MRR data in 100% cases.

That being said MRR is from various sources- building in public sources, personal connect with founders, business registries and in some cases it's an algorithmic prediction based on their traffic (from SEMrush), backlinks, twitter followers, user reviews, engagement rate etc.

Same question here! 🙋

I know some of them were built in the open, and directly quoted on IH or the founder's blog, but all of them is quite a feat!

Thanks man!

Thanks @LeonBuller.. it's really flattering that you're benchmarking MSDB with IH and Failory.. I've followed both for years and both have great databases.

My approach is slightly different as I'm focusing on an array of metrics as well as strategies. I want to get to a point where if you have specific questions about conversion rates, SEO, Ad ROI or even valuation for a SaaS in category X and niche Y, MSDB can reliably answer that question.

Thanks, still working on monetization but the plan is to offer subscription for more in-depth metrics and strategies like what % saas are offering freemium, what's the typical free-> paid conversion in an analytics tool etc.

Also considering to list tools for buy/sell, add sponsored posts at top and monetizing the newsletter.. there's a lot more to come here

It's from build-in-public posts but I also run some checks to validate the MRR claims like 1. Is the claim consistent with twitter audience size 2. backlinks 3. PH reviews 4. Overall social conversation around the tool etc.

Thanks!

Not right now but I plan to

Thanks for the feedback!! I've added a few categories but more to come

It's the biggest challenge for me right now. Some of the data points are API based, so they are pretty easy to manage. Other data points like place of business, category etc. rarely change- so I'm not updating them. The most challenging part is keeping the MRR data up to date- I'm doing it manually for most popular products in microsaasdb (100 or so) every 2 weeks.

Thanks buddy!

Thanks! It's a great idea.. I'll have to see how to implement it.

You're welcome, feel free to DM me in Twitter if there's any metric that specifically interests you.

Thanks! Funny that you mentioned this- my product was inspired by a similar paid airtable directory. When I saw people were paying for that I felt the need to have a live database that can evolve with feedback and be supported by content/advance features subscription.

UI is an area that's high on my priority list.

Thanks!!

Thanks buddy!

Thanks! Will love to learn about your use cases and any metrics you'd like me to add

Thanks! aitools is nice, how do you promote it?

You can submit the link through the form in the website. We'll need a few additional data points.

I run some checks to validate the MRR claims like 1. Is the claim consistent with twitter audience size 2. backlinks 3. PH reviews 4. Overall social conversation around the tool etc.

Also working on my own algo to predict and validate MRR as I have a decent enough database now.

I'm using a no-code tool to build this and there's a limitation on the filter if I use $ sign.. sometimes we have to live with these limitations to achieve something bigger. But point taken.

Thanks! more focus on venture backed will definitely get me to the monetization target. It's on my radar as a next priority.

Would love to hear about your ideas- you can reply here or DM me in Twitter

Also, I'm planning to start a subscription model for the database.
