Monthly software costs for my $40k mrr Saas
One of the best things about a SaaS is high margins.
...Or that's what I hear on Twitter anyway, I've never actually known what costs looked like, until I launched my own saas
I don't know if our software costs are good or bad or if this will be particularly useful for anyone but hopefully it's somewhat interesting

Wait, it took you 4 months from 0 to 40k MRR? Wow! I mean, the product (landing page) looks really, really polished...who knew there's so much money to be made in this niche.
Care to share more about your story?
Re the COGS: We have way less third party services (by design) and our team also seems to be way smaller than yours. Can you provide some context? (e.g. team size?)
Hey Jans, thanks for the kind words. I (inconsistently) build in public on Twitter if you want to see more of our story
We're a team of 3 full time and 2 part time contractors :)
