11 Micro SaaS Ideas GUARANTEED To Make Bank ($500 - 40K/mo)

• I hate SA idea videos.
• I'm sharing 11 successful micros ideas that are already making money.
• These ideas come from Reddit, not the random YouTube space.
• Each idea has been validated and proven to generate revenue.
• The highest earning micros idea makes $40,000 in MRR.

I hate SA idea videos. So when my scriptwriter asked me to do one, I killed him. Okay, I didn't. But I did say if we're gonna do it, we're only sharing real ideas. That's why I can tell you the 11 micros ideas in this video will make money. How do I know? Because they are already making money.

I'm going to share 11 successful micros ideas that I found on Reddit, which will go in ascending order of revenue starting from $500 in MRR, then a few making $1,000 to $3,000, then a few making $5,000, a couple making over $10,000, and one final boss micros that does $40,000 in MRR.

How can this help you? One of the best strategies to make a successful product is to find already successful products and copy the out of them. So instead of copying a random idea on YouTube, I'd much rather you copy one of these ideas on Reddit. Unlike on YouTube, ideas go way beyond the daydreaming stage. The founders have thought of the idea, built an MVP, validated it, and crucially generated revenue from it. It’s what's scientifically known as real shit. And these are the kinds of ideas I want to share with you.

Did I mention I really hate SaaS idea videos on YouTube? One of the biggest issues with them is that they're not really validated. I don’t just mean identifying a gap; I mean proving the people you want to sell to will pay for it and how much. The microsized idea in these videos have had all that work done and it's micros, there’s not much you can protect.

Just gotta look at functions and run to Flutter Flow to find the closest template. But a question for you: Will building an identical copy give you identical revenue? Think about it, and I'll share my thoughts at the end of this video. Let’s get to the list.

First up we have Scrubio — $500 MRR in two months. Scribbio is a microsaas that scrapes data from businesses running Google Ads. Its founder says it was created to solve a specific pain point for marketing agencies finding clients of a certain size.

So basically, if you can afford to run ads, you're slightly digital savvy and probably have a budget for marketing. You can specifically target businesses from over 700 niches and for $50 a month, you get to export 5,000 contacts, scrape contacts all over the USA seven days a week, support, and a Discord community with other founders. Impressively, it promises to six times your reply rate and triple your booking rate with a seven-day money-back guarantee.

I wouldn't really put much stock in a guarantee by a micros, but it's the thought that counts. It's limited to contacts in the USA, and I think it's a very pure example of a microsaas. Clear audience, clear solution, super basic setup. It got to $500 MRR in two months, and I would be proud if I built something like this.

Next, Press Pulse AI — $1,000 MRR. Presspulse AI is a piggyback SaaS that helps users use another SaaS called Haro or Help a Reporter Out. Haro's promise is simple. It’s got a ton of journalists who post questions based on the stories they are working on. If you’re a business owner or a subject matter expert, you can pitch an answer to them, and if you sound legit, you or your business can get featured.

The problem is, there are tons of questions, and it's a pain to sort through them and answer again and again and again. PressPulse AI helps users automate the process of sorting through the piles of questions to find the ones with the best match.

Here's what it would look like if you were a yoga instructor. Here’s what it would look like if you were a tech startup founder. Tailored recommendations so you don't waste time looking for them or worse, answering irrelevant questions. That gets you nowhere. Presspulse even promises a refund if you don't get published within 30 days if you submit 5 pitches. And here's the part I love about Presspulse: It will use AI to help you find queries, but it won't use AI to automatically generate pitches for you. Very ethical of them.

To all my unethical users, it sounds like you know what you have to do to beat them. It's a simple solution to a very real problem, and I personally love it. No surprise Presspulse is making $1,000 MRR.

Next, Famewall — $1,000 MRR in 12 months. Famewall is a microsaas that helps website owners easily collect and display testimonials. You get a link to a testimonial collecting page to send users that looks like this. Your customers or clients can write or record a testimonial, and from there, Famewall lets you turn it into an easily embeddable testimonial vision.

And they have tons of display options. I counted 10 different types of display methods that can suit different purposes. Personally, I really like their award style widgets. Perfect for me in case I ever win one, and they clearly have a following. Their testimonial page is covered in good reviews. They got to $1,000 MRR in 12 months, and I’m sure they are doing way better now.

Next, ClickPilot — $1,600 MRR in 5 months. ClickPilot is an app that lets users preview and compare their YouTube video thumbnails against different YouTube interfaces. It allows users to swap out different versions of the thumbnail to find which works best, auto-generate different titles, and most importantly, compare their thumbnails against other videos by competitors or videos that appear in specific search results.

That last one is the real defining selling point of this app in my opinion. As a content creator myself, it’s always useful to compare my thumbnails to Simon Hoiberg's and all his subscribers. Everything else is kind of nice to have. You can try the app for free or subscribe to a super simple pricing plan of $10 a month to create your own profile and fully leverage the app's features.

According to the founder’s Reddit post from a few months ago, it’s got 7,200 free users and 250 paid users, so just over 3% conversion rate, which is fine. Five months after launching, it makes $1,600 a month and costs just $100 to run. Amazing and something I would personally use.

Next, Growth Panels — $2,000 MRR in two months. Growth Panels is a microsaas that helps founders reward customers with set discounts for taking certain actions. Post about a product on X, tell a friend, or get it tattooed on their forehead.

The founder just has to set the action and reward via Growth Panels and embed it on their site. The only catch is rewards are limited to money off a customer’s next strike bill. Perfect for the target audience. Growth Panels target other SaaS with their own subscriptions. That's right, it's a SaaS subscription plan to help other SaaS manage their subscription plans.

Their pricing tiers are mostly based on the reward limit, which directly correlates to the number of workload units used. Great part is they have a free tier. The cap is pretty low, but brokeies can't be choosy. It's basically a reward system integrated with a payment gateway and presented in a fresh clean interface that's easily embeddable. Not super simple but not overly complicated; the founders got to $2,000 MRR in two months.

Next, Sketch Logo AI — $3,100 MRR in four months. Sketch Logo AI is, in my opinion, an ideal version of designers working with AI to create badass designs. You draw something on their sketchbook or pad or whatever, then you explain what you want the AI to turn it into with a written prompt, set the creativity strength, and hit generate. You get legitimately beautiful designs.

You can then sketch on top of those designs and prompt and iterate new designs until you're satisfied. It’s an AI wrapper for sure, but man, it’s a good one. Their main selling point is to use it to create logos, YouTube channel logos, car logos, business logos, and my personal favorite cool logos. Finally, I can create a logo that captures my essence for $19 a month. This clearly appeals to lots of business owners, and I wouldn’t be surprised if designers use it to save time. $3,100 MRR in four months is well deserved.

Anyways, next we're getting up there into the $5,000 MRR range, starting with Repurpose PI — $5,000 MRR in 3 days. Repurpose PI might just be the shortest entry in this list. It’s just that I don't have much to say about it. It's another one of those very pure examples of a micro: clear audience, clear solution, with one key feature.

Repurpose PI automatically converts tweets into short videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or any of the other brain rot video platforms. I don’t personally find them very engaging, but I guess a lot of people do. Elvin, do you think these short videos look good? They suck. Oh, thanks for the diplomatic answer, Alvin. You know guys, Alvin and I are brothers, so we probably share the same taste.

Anyway, back to Repurpose PI. It’s cool that it can automatically post the videos to your YouTube and TikTok accounts and soon Instagram as well. But yeah, not much to say here.

Next, FTT Sign Up — $5,000 MRR in 2 months. FTT Sign Up might be useful but damn boring. Anyway, it connects legal professionals with clients seeking assistance with traffic ticket issues, landlord-tenant issues, small claims, family law. I sold that word forward from their homepage because I'm not legally trained and I don't want to misrepresent them.

You know there are microsaas with a lean budget when their explainer video is using that fake handshit. Basically, it's doing marketing and client acquisition on behalf of well-paid working professionals who suck at marketing. According to their Reddit post, it costs a paralegal $100 per month to sign up.

So not small money. But it gets them 20 high-quality leads and they recoup their investment after closing just one. So yeah, easy choice. $5,000 MRR in two months. It’s not surprising this is actually a super copyable concept. There are a million lawyers in the world, and 95% of them suck at marketing. And why stop at lawyers? You could go into dentists or Mexican cartel hitmen.

Now launching us into the 10k and above MRR range, we have Keep the Score — 10k MRR. Keep the Score is really a fun micro app that helps create live leaderboards, progress trackers, and click counters. You have different themes, you can embed them into a PowerPoint presentation or a website, and a ton of different premade spot-specific score counters you can easily overlay on your streaming screen.

It comes with a limited free tier and a more feature-rich paid version that’s just $28 a month. I think it's a fair price for a streamer. And may I just add that for what is definitely a microsaas, it’s got exemplary documentation and user guides. The founder says they bootstrapped to $10,000 MRR but didn’t mention how long it took, and I hope by now they've broken way past that stage. It’s a truly impressive product.

Next and second last, Unicorn Platform — $16,000 MRR. Unicorn Platform is an AI website builder for very simple use cases like blocks, directories, and basic web apps. They are not Webflow or WordPress and they know it. They literally say they are meant to not be the absolute cluster that WordPress has become.

This is a perfect match for their target audience: startups and solopreneurs. As you can see from their showcase, they’ve helped create over 100,000 websites. They have a free forever tier, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those 100,000 sites don't generate revenue, but they still make enough to boast a $10k MRR.

In their Reddit post, they mentioned they’ve gone on to be acquired for $800,000 by MarsX, a suite of different micro apps and SaaS related to no-code app building. Unicorn Platform is kind of at the limit of what I would consider micro. But it didn't just spring into existence super fancy. It would have started with core features and then built on top of them.

Okay, time for the last and highest earning micros on this list, making a whopping $40,000 MRR. Excel Formula Bot — $40,000 MRR in 12 months. FormulaBot is an app I've covered before. It made my list of weird apps that make a shit ton of money today.

It's not such a simple piece of kit, but originally Excel Formula Bot had one purpose: use AI to generate spreadsheet formulas and code. It was a massive success, and since then it's gone on to add multiple features. To be honest, I can understand if some people watching this say it’s not a microsaas anymore, fine, but no one can deny it started as one, and the success from that alone made it $40,000 MRR in 12 months.

In fact, if you do some googling, you’ll find it makes a lot more than that nowadays. But that initial success was just off the back of one key feature. Very fair pricing with a free tier and just $9 per month for the cheapest paid plan.

And with that, we reach the end of the list of microsaas ideas making bank. Are you ready to shamelessly steal and then call it inspiration? Before you do, let’s move on to my question for you.

At the start, say you steal the idea that most resonates with you. Say you steal all of them, and you build a product that’s just as good, maybe even better. The demand is already there, so you have a solution for a proven demand, profit, right? You know my answer is no. But do you know why?

Because a validated idea and a working software product are just two of the four things needed for a successful software business, even if you're talking about a hundred bucks month business. The other two are marketing and monetization strategies. If you don’t market your amazing product, nobody's going to know about it. And if you don’t price it right, none of your visitors will ever become paying users.

The only way you can really learn how to do that is fail and learn what works. Also, you could copy it exactly. Or you could have some self-respect and copy it, then put your own spin on it. An extra feature. I don’t recommend it, but you could try a lower price, a more specific audience, or my personal favorite, launch a DDoS attack on competitors.

And the spin you put can’t just be copied because it’s based on a gap you identified. That’s how you scientifically build real shit and get your microsasa featured in one of my future videos. Now let's say you are like most founders — zero social life. How the heck are you going to meet audience members to validate gaps? Easy!

Landing Page MVP? Make a landing page that clearly explains what your SaaS does and what it costs and asks users to leave their email if they are interested. It’s a cost-effective way to validate a ton of ideas and I recommend you watch my video on how to make this landing page MVP.
