ProofBell

This is product #2 in my "small bets" run (same wedge as my last one: one-time pricing instead of yet another monthly SaaS-on-SaaS bill).

The problem: every social-proof tool (Fomo, TrustPulse, ProveSource) is monthly-priced and built for e-commerce. As an indie SaaS founder I just wanted "someone in Tokyo just subscribed" popups driven by my actual Stripe data — without another $25/mo.

So I built ProofBell:

- Connect Stripe (read-only) → it auto-ingests subscribes/purchases as social proof

- Or POST custom events from your backend

- One-line JS embed, configurable position/theme

- $49 once, lifetime. Free tier works fully (just shows a small "by ProofBell" badge)

The Stripe-connect ingestion is the part I'm most happy with — it's working end-to-end.

Would love feedback, especially:

1) Is read-only Stripe connect a dealbreaker or a nice-to-have for you?

2) Does $49 lifetime feel right vs the usual monthly tools?

Thanks for reading 🙏
