I built Diffmode for bootstrapped SaaS founders out of growth ideas
If your MRR has been flat for 4 months and the next piece of advice you get is "do another Product Hunt launch" — this post is for you.
I'm Ivan, working on Diffmode (diffmode.app) with founder Anton Kogut — a growth plan for bootstrapped SaaS founders, first marketing hires, and indie hackers who can't outspend their competitors.
### The problem with every "AI for marketing" tool
They retrieve known playbooks. Ask ChatGPT or any generic AI marketing tool "how do I grow a B2B SaaS" and you get the same advice that's already failing you: SEO, content, cold outbound, paid ads. It's a recall problem dressed up as intelligence.
### What Diffmode does differently
It cross-references 576 documented growth mechanisms across 6 first-principles categories — psychology, structural arbitrage, leverage, positioning, conversion, resource optimization — against your specific constraints. Then it combines 2–3 of them at a time into customer-acquisition tactics that aren't in any playbook.
The output isn't a strategy doc. It's a day-by-day execution plan with the actual ad copy, landing page copy, and outbound scripts — the stuff you can run on Monday.
### Pricing
- Free Audit — 1 run, no card required
- Pro — $199 one-time (not a subscription), 30-day money-back
Built this because the "I've tried 6 things, none worked, I'm out of ideas" founder deserves better than recycled advice. Would love your feedback — especially from anyone who's stalled and runs the Free Audit.
Always outnumbered, never outsmarted.
