What Roll Digital builds for you.

Custom scope to take AI Agent Cost Monitor from MVP shell to operating business.

• ▸Production FastAPI backend with Postgres for cost aggregation across clouds
• ▸Stripe billing integration with 3-tier pricing and usage-based metering
• ▸Multi-tenant authentication with email signup and Google OAuth
• ▸Real-time dashboard UI with spend alerts and team collaboration features
• ▸Automated email campaigns for free-to-paid conversion at threshold
• ▸Initial 30-day white-glove customer success support and onboarding
• ▸Documentation and API specs for customer integration with their systems
• ▸Monitoring and alerting infrastructure for platform reliability and uptime

Why this could work.

The GTM is defensible: free tier with immediate value capture (10-minute ROI hook) targets the actual buyer at decision time. TAM of 50k mid-market dev teams spending 300+ monthly provides real addressable market. Organic growth via pain-point content (HN, Reddit) on costly API mishaps taps proven channels. At $55k year 1 midpoint, the path to unit economics is narrow but plausible if churn stays low and ACV climbs past $900/yr threshold with larger teams.

What you'd risk.

Competitors Helicone, LangSmith, and Braintrust bundle cost monitoring into broader observability suites, pulling dev mindshare away from point solutions. OpenAI and Anthropic ship native budget caps and alerts directly in their dashboards, eliminating the core pain. Threshold problem is real: developers ignore AI costs until post-burn, then they DIY a one-line spend check or switch models. Very few will sustain $100/mo recurring spend on monitoring. Year 1 losses of $22.5k assume perfect execution.

Who this fits.

Ideal owner is a solo SaaS founder or early-stage dev-tools operator with existing distribution or a dev community list. Must understand PLG dynamics and have hands-on ops chops to execute customer onboarding and outreach. Technical founder background helpful but not required if willing to hire or partner for backend work. Risk tolerance for 12% success probability and year 1 burn of $22.5k is non-negotiable.
