What This Revenue Model Is
A consultant who has solved the same problem manually for 50 clients, charging a different fee each time, recreating the solution from scratch on every engagement, has never once considered that the solution they keep building could be a product that 1,000 people subscribe to. The solution is already proven. The software is just the container it has been waiting for.
A focused tool sold into a paying niche.
$50-500+
per month, B2B
$5K-50K
MRR target
80%+
gross margin
A micro-SaaS aimed at a business niche with real budget can charge well above consumer pricing, because the problem is expensive and urgent. The build and upkeep keep cost moderate, but the recurring margin is strong.
B2B and vertical micro-SaaS commonly prices $50 to $500+ a month, targeting the $5,000 to $50,000 MRR band at 80%+ gross margins.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 micro-SaaS data (Freemius, Superframeworks, F3 Fund It). Niches with high willingness to pay support the higher prices and lower churn.
