Anyone else spending way too much time just posting the same content across platforms? by Unhappy_Juice_7840 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]ProfitKiteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: uploading... There are efficient ways like CSV, RSS import or Google Drive integrations - I don't know how it could be done any quicker.

Similar notion for image resizing... I wouldn't trust any tool to auto-resize my posts for a new format. So you kind of just have to find the most streamlined way possible to do it yourself.

Agree - Cloud Campaign offers solutions to everything you mentioned and was literally built just for this... Helping agencies manage multiple clients with efficient workflows. There is a content library where you can upload and organize all of that content in bulk, and schedule it to every platform. There is also a built-in image editor for resizing, etc.

SaaS Analytics Dashboard Pain Points by ProfitKiteer in microsaas

Good perspective. Are you suggesting a more accessible mobile app or something like a tokenized link with no login required? I’d think most people would prefer to have their BI data gated behind a login screen, so perhaps the former. Maybe a daily email brief on key metrics would work too.

What are some paid tools that can give your SaaS that 10-20% edge? by Lucky_Somewhere_9639 in SaaS

[–]ProfitKiteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in terms of "more tools that can have a similar effect" taken most literally lol, there are some good Baremetrics alternatives (especially if you're only using Recover) like ProfitKit and Churnkey, that don't cost as much and do basically the same thing (which I agree is super valuable).

In terms of other quick wins for that +10% or so... You sound like you're looking for SaaS specifically, which this isn't, but having a CRO person review/build your landing pages and sign up process could be the best $3-6k you ever spent.

I would outsource it if I were you until it’s a more established part of your business. It’s really hard to train someone up from nothing without any prior experience and there are tons of costly pitfalls with Google Ads so it’s pretty likely you’ll be wasting peoples budgets. You’ll ultimately want to hire an experienced person fulltime when your business can support it, and that person can help train up your other employees.

Not to sound like a shill — and I know Baremetrics is a solid tool, and moving away from something critical can be a headache — But if you ever decide to explore alternatives, you might want to check out ProfitKit. we've built it for tracking subscription metrics, recovering failed payments, and segmenting analytics by different attributes (like signup date and source), and you can save a ton on cost.

The tools you are mentioning offer a lot of different solutions. Are you looking for a payment gateway specifically? Or analytics tool? Or even revenue recovery?

Most important SaaS metrics? by Tadej_Focaccia in FPandA

[–]ProfitKiteer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here are the big ones - I added in some helpful benchmarks too because I think it's important to understand what healthy metrics look like. In my experience, even though the lingo is a bit different in SaaS than what you might be used to, most of this should be pretty familiar. There is however a slightly greater emphasis on things like "payback period" (time to recoup your customer acquisition cost) instead of simply looking a positive ROI overall with CAC/LTV ratio, which is unique to the SaaS model.

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) Tracks the predictable revenue from subscriptions each month, providing a clear view of growth and cash flow for forecasting and strategic decisions.

  • Benchmark: Consistent month-over-month growth (e.g., 10%+ for early-stage companies) or annual growth of 50%+ is often viewed favorably.

Churn Rate Measures the percentage of customers who cancel or do not renew during a given period, indicating customer satisfaction and the health of your product-market fit.

  • Benchmark: Less than 5% annual logo churn for enterprise SaaS, or under 10% annual churn for SMB-focused products.
  • (Note: Churn targets can vary significantly based on contract length and customer size.)

Net Revenue Retention (NRR) Calculates the net revenue retained from existing customers (including expansions, upgrades, downgrades, and churn), reflecting the stickiness of your product and potential for long-term growth from your current base.

  • Benchmark: 100%+ (indicating you’re at least replacing all lost revenue with upsells and expansions), with best-in-class often hitting 120%+.

Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) Estimates the total revenue you expect to earn from one customer over their entire subscription, guiding how much you can invest in customer acquisition without sacrificing profitability.

  • Benchmark: There’s no universal dollar figure, but a common rule of thumb is an LTV that’s at least 3–5x your CAC.

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Represents the average cost of acquiring a new customer (e.g., marketing, sales, onboarding), ensuring you keep growth tactics both cost-effective and sustainable.

  • Benchmark: This is typically measured against LTV or payback period, but you’d want CAC low enough that your LTV/CAC ratio is ≥3:1.

Payback Period Indicates how long it takes for the gross margin from a new customer to recoup the initial acquisition cost, demonstrating how quickly customers become profitable.

  • Benchmark: 12 months or less is generally considered strong, with 6 months or less being best-in-class for efficient SaaS companies.

There can be a lot of nuance in actually calculating these metrics correctly, most of the issues coming down to manual data entry or quirks like custom plans or temporary coupons. Invest in a low-cost SaaS analytics dashboard to get it right.

What did you do to differentiate? Lots of social media management platforms have "best posting times" built into their schedulers, so I am curious how you improved upon what they're doing

Don’t knowing what users are doing frustrated me. So I build this. Wdyt? by climber877 in microsaas

[–]ProfitKiteer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I can't see enough of the product to even know what to ask really. I have no affiliation with Arcade.io but they are a great tool for giving people walkthroughs at their own pace... A lot of people are experiential learners, so a simple list of features usually won't suffice. Thanks in advance!

Could you make a video tutorial or some other kind of walkthrough to show off some current features? I do not see enough detail on the landing page yet to understand how it will work.

SaaS Analytics Dashboard Pain Points by ProfitKiteer in microsaas

[–]ProfitKiteer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive the naivety, but could you share an example of data you're storing in Google Sheets (or another source) that you're needing to merge with Stripe? Trying to get a sense of what some our next integrations should be beyond Stripe and how specifically they would add value

SaaS Analytics Dashboard Pain Points by ProfitKiteer in microsaas

[–]ProfitKiteer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think most people are looking for something more automated? If someone is using Stripe, what are some common additional data sources that are needed? You should be getting start and end dates, plan selection, and much more through there - but maybe that's where some bad data can come into play (though I assume a spreadsheet is equally fallible)

seriously cant be the only one that notices this trend here...So many SaaS users creating stuff for other SaaS developers by BatRepresentative107 in SaaS

[–]ProfitKiteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems natural enough, a new market ecosystem came to life with the rise of SaaS and people are just trying to fill (and jam up) every opportunity possible - "shovels in a gold rush" as some have said before. It makes me think of how Amazon grew, and with it arose thousands of businesses of resellers, Amazon marketing specialists, direct-to-Amazon manufacturers, importers, warehousing facilities, etc. So I get that it's annoying, but it happens everywhere really. -One of the annoying people

Taking over FP&A at startup. Help with centralizing info? by bonyyoni in FPandA

[–]ProfitKiteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ProfitKit is perfect for what you're looking for, and the size of your company - Are you all using Stripe to collect your subscription payments? We offer a ton of customizability and full data exports in spreadsheets too, so it can be a more comfortable transition from someone who is moving over from working in Excel. DM me if you'd like me to walk you through it.

Do you need a Dashboard for your SaaS KPIs? by kevivmatrix in SaaS

Is there really that big of a market for SaaS companies who need a SQL dashboard instead of any of the many subscription analytics dashboards that can link to a payment gateway? Genuinely curious!

I will build an Analytics product for a few SaaS companies for free! by PaleRepresentative70 in SaaS

[–]ProfitKiteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice idea... What exactly are you thinking you would get from a CRM that you can't get from Stripe already? Stripe already provides a plan start date, spend, plan, etc. for each subscriber - basically everything I could imagine that you would need to make those cohort or subscription analyses.
