Will $9/mo SaaS really be dead by 2026?

Yes, unless churn drops to nil and CAC halves. Math says most indie consumer tools fold—pivot or perish.

What's the best pricing for indie SaaS in 2025?

Start at $49/mo for SMB B2B. Tier to $99/$199. Breakeven fast, scales huge.

How do I calculate SaaS unit economics?

Revenue minus fees = net. CAC / net = payback months. Churn-adjusted LTV must beat CAC 3x. Use templates for visuals.

$9/Month Indie SaaS Is Toast by 2026—Time for B2B Goldmines

Picture this: your side-hustle SaaS, that clever tweet drafter or habit tracker, raking in effortless $20k MRR. Wake up—it's 2026, and that model's bleeding cash. Real devs are starving unless they flip to fat B2B pricing.
