Quick backstory: I built StackTidy, a tool that auto-detects SaaS subscriptions from your email receipts and flags waste, ghost tools, and upcoming renewals.
The first version had 13 signups. Zero stuck around. Every single person signed up, looked at an empty dashboard, and left. I tried 4 different onboarding flows. A setup wizard, a video walkthrough, a "skip everything" approach. Nothing worked.
So I stopped and watched where people actually dropped off. The answer was obvious once I saw it: the product asked users to trust it before proving it worked. "Forward a receipt and wait" is not a first impression.
I tore the whole thing down and rebuilt it:
New 4-step onboarding that shows the product working before you do anything
Home screen with a timeline showing what's renewing this week and what just charged
Radar that tracks every subscription with health scores and flags
Monthly Story that writes your spending chapter automatically
The core idea is the same: connect your email, we detect every subscription your team pays for. But the experience is completely different now.
I'm looking for 10 people who run a small team (3-15 people) and pay for more than 5 SaaS tools. I'll give you a free month of Pro. All I want in return is honest feedback. Tell me if it clicks or if you still bounce.
Happy to answer any questions about the rebuild, the tech, or the mistakes I made along the way.
