Ask HN: Interested in SaaS Metrics for PayPal?

21 pointsby webstartupperover 10 years ago
About SaasyMetrics: SaasyMetrics provides you metrics and actionable insights to better run your SaaS business with subscriptions running through PayPal.<p>Why I am building SaasyMetrics: I run a small software company in Mumbai, India. When my SaaS business (DomCop) had only a few customers, I was using the Excel SaaS metrics dashboard created by Christoph Janz. This was great while I was just starting my business but as the business grew, it became quite painful to update the spreadsheet manually. I needed an app that would automatically get all my data and calculate the metrics I required. While there were many really good SaaS metrics &amp; analytics apps in the market, there were none that would integrate with PayPal, which ran all my monthly subscriptions. That&#x27;s essentially why I decided to create SaasyMetrics.<p>If your business runs on PayPal, I welcome you to join our early access list and help us build an extremely useful tool that will help you grow your business.<p>What you get as a beta customer:<p>- Inputs in deciding the roadmap for the product<p>- Early access during the closed beta<p>- A 50% lifetime discount to SaasyMetrics<p>What I get: Early access to you, the most important customer I will ever have.<p>Next Step: If you are interested, please do sign up for the beta at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.saasymetrics.com

As my PayPal hate comment wasn&#x27;t too constructive, here&#x27;s some more constructive feedback from someone who has designed a fair amount of landing pages:<p>- Change the heading font to something sans-serif, it feels very default, and look at typographic hierarchy, all those fonts are white and make it look a bit of a wall-of-text.<p>- Safari hasn&#x27;t looked like that for a long time, get some up-to-date screenshots, your making your product look outdated already.<p>- Two screenshots one over the other is making the page needlessly long, use a carousel or similar so you have just have one that you can scroll side to side.<p>- You want people to sign up but the box is buried down the bottom of the page, work out a way to get that raised up.<p>- The pricing plan structure feels a bit empty, if you&#x27;re not offering more functionality for more money, try and make the higher end ones more persuasive by doing something like indicating what kind of savings you&#x27;re getting by choosing a more expensive plan.

We accept payments via both Stripe and PayPal, and I have to say, trying to find a baremetrics-esque solution for us has been insanely frustrating. We&#x27;re still calculating LTV, churn, etc. by hand since surprisingly none of these services actually support both, and by looking at the metrics from only one payment source we&#x27;re missing out on the bigger picture.<p>So glad to see someone finally made one for PayPal, but without support for other payment systems, I don&#x27;t see it being able to compete with what&#x27;s out there. This would only be useful for a company accepting payments from JUST PayPal, which as others have pointed out is probably a rare case these days.<p>ChartMogul claims to be working on PayPal support, so hopefully that will come through. In the meantime, I still think there&#x27;s a huge hole in this market for supporting PayPal + other services.
