Dropoff Feedback Collector - Understand Why Users Leave

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you grind to 35 paying customers at $125/mo by month 12, that's $52k ARR - but with a 13% shot of getting there, your expected year-1 take-home is negative after the $19k build cost, so this is a bet on year 2+, not year 1 income.

Go-to-market motion

Product Hunt launch + cold LinkedIn outbound to SaaS founders and head-of-product titles → 15 demos/month → 3-4 closes/month at $99-149/mo, with Churnkey/Hotjar comparison SEO as the slow-burn channel.

Key risks

Hotjar, Survicate, and Sprig all offer exit-intent surveys on freemium tiers - new buyers default to the incumbent they already have installed, making 'just a feedback widget' an almost impossible cold pitch
Customers collect the feedback, get an initial insight spike, then cancel after 60-90 days because acting on qualitative dropoff data requires product bandwidth they don't have - churn rate for the tool itself will be brutal (60%+ annually)
The product stops at data collection but buyers expect a loop: feedback → segmentation → A/B test → outcome tracking. Without integrations into Mixpanel/Amplitude/Segment, it feels like half a solution and loses to embedded tools in those stacks
