I have built a landing page for my SaaS. Should I launch it at this stage?

Hello my dear indie hackers.

Recently I have been working on a trimmed down version of a saas product of which I launched a sign up landing page last year and I got positive responses.

My dilemma now is as follows.

I have build a much better landing page which describes and illustrates a subset of the features of the saas I showed last year.

My plan is to get it live this week and have a sign up form asking for only the user's email address and then contact them for feedback. Just like I did before.

I have mixed feelings about this as it looks like repeating the same steps, on the other hand this saas is more focused on the solution with more details.

For the next step I am thinking of building it by first implementing the bare minimum of the features, make it available with a free subscription but limited in terms of volume. And gradually build the rest of the premium tiers while gaining free user's(early adopters).

Just to make it clear it is not a ground breaking solution, there are some big companies out there making millions out of their solutions. I'm just trying to bring another option to the table with little differences initially, hoping to get a piece of the pie, as I believe there is gap in the market. At least in the UK where I am based. (Most competitors are us based for all it matters)

What are your opinions about my thoughts guys?

I apologize for the long post.

Thanks

      Done mate! Thanks for encouraging me :D

    It is never to early to launch! Do you remember Google launch, Facebook launch? Just go for it and iterate. Good luck!

      Indeed there is no point in hesitating right?

        You know what is worst than a less than perfect site? the one you have not launched. Just go for it.

    Yeah, publish it, link it to a few places where your potential customers hang out. Start building an MVP if you want to. Send update emails about the progress and try to get some feedback maybe.

    For reference, I sent 2 update emails to 180 people (120 people for the first one). For the second one that I sent out yesterday, about 40 of them bounced (fake email addresses). It was opened by 74 people, 8 unsubscribed, 3 clicked and one person actually bought a subscription a few hours ago!

    The more people sign up for the newsletter, the better your chances of rapid sales are. So start early.

      Will do some more research about that and publish it there too, I just launched the landing page :D
      Also thanks for sharing the metrics you had from your release.
