Solo Analytics -- Know exactly what is working in your business
If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.
Fermi summary
If you grind to 280 paying customers at $25/mo that's $84K ARR - but you're fighting free native dashboards on every platform, so figure 20% odds you actually get there.
Market size (TAM)
$150.0M
~500K US solopreneurs/micro-businesses actively tracking revenue metrics who would pay for a dedicated analytics tool × $300/yr avg spend

Go-to-market motion
ProductHunt launch + Twitter/X solopreneur community → free trial funnel → $25/mo self-serve, targeting no-code founders, freelancers, and micro-SaaS operators through niche newsletters and subreddits.
Key risks
- Free tier of Stripe Dashboard, Shopify Analytics, and Google Analytics already covers 80% of what solopreneurs actually look at - hard to justify $25/mo against zero-cost native tools
- Without a specific vertical hook (e.g., 'for Shopify stores' or 'for freelance agencies'), top-of-funnel CAC becomes expensive because the ICP is too broad to target cheaply
- Data connector maintenance is a silent cost sink - when Stripe or Meta changes their API, paying customers churn until you patch it, and a side-hustle pace can't keep up
