ProfitPilot
Know your real profit before you list
Hi Indie Hackers 👋
I recently launched ProfitPilot — a pricing intelligence tool for online sellers.
The idea came from a simple problem I kept seeing:
Many sellers price products using marketplace calculators or spreadsheets, but these usually show only platform fees.
They often ignore:
• advertising costs
• VAT & taxes
• returns and refunds
• sourcing costs
• target profit planning
Because of this, sellers sometimes discover their real profit only after products go live — or worse, after losing money.
So I built ProfitPilot to answer one question:
👉 “What is my real profit before I list?”
Instead of tracking analytics after selling, ProfitPilot focuses on decision-making before listing.
Key ideas behind the tool:
✅ Platform-independent
✅ Reverse pricing (set profit → get selling price)
✅ Simple inputs, no complex dashboards
✅ One-time unlock (no subscriptions)
I’m currently looking for feedback from founders and sellers here.
