Hey Indie Hackers π
I'm Pranav, solo founder from Mumbai with a CS and Data Science background. After months of building, GoVoyageTravel is live.
What it does: You enter a destination, dates, budget, and travel style β it generates a complete day-by-day itinerary with real places (Google Maps + Places API), time slots, and budget breakdowns in under 2 minutes.
How it makes money:
$2 per itinerary (spam filter )
Real revenue = Affiliate commissions on flights, hotels, car rentals booked through the itinerary
Stack: GPT + Google Maps + Google Places + Firebase
Honest struggles right now:
Pre-100 paid users, grinding organic distribution
Reddit keeps filtering every post lol
Pre-payment flow has no preview β suspect this is my biggest conversion killer
No ad budget, purely organic
What I'd love feedback on:
Does the pay-per-use model make sense or should I go subscription?
Would you pay $2 before seeing output?
Any obvious conversion killers on the site?
Link in bio β would love brutal honest feedback from this community.
