Why would anyone use your micro SaaS when they can build their own?

Have you seen a different perspective? Cause in my informational bubble SaaS ain't doing too well since vibecoding became more common.

There's still a cost/benefit to building and maintaining a service. LLMs make it easier to build, but the cost does not scale to zero.

  • I'm in agreement with your claim, though if you recall some of these micro SaaSes went hyperfocused on niches. The value proposition is then smaller, with larger data liability than with some behemoth's of SaaS.

    Though for the later ones, one might also ask themselves if they are worth their cost when using 20-30% of provided functionality.
