The Opportunity

A churn prediction tool priced for indie hackers ($29–49/mo). Connects to Stripe + usage data, detects behavioral risk signals 2–4 weeks before cancellation, sends Slack/email alerts with context. Targets the massive gap between "nothing" (most indie hackers today) and Gainsight/Totango (enterprise, $$$). Designed for SaaS founders with 50–1,000 customers.

Why This Fits

The pain was stated explicitly in r/SaaS this week: solo founder at ~300 customers finds out about churn by checking Stripe manually every few days. No tool exists in the $29–49/mo range for this segment. Gainsight starts at thousands per month. The build is straightforward: Stripe webhooks + usage tracking + basic ML risk scoring. Distribution: post in the exact thread where the pain appeared.

→ Next Step

MVP: Stripe webhook integration + lightweight usage event tracking + risk score algorithm + Slack/email alert when customer hits risk threshold. $29/mo flat pricing, no tiers. Distribution: r/SaaS thread where the pain was identified. SEO: "churn prevention for indie hackers", "lightweight churn prediction SaaS".
