I Review Indie Apps Like a Founder — Not a Blogger
Revenue, onboarding, retention, and real-world impact — honest reviews of SaaS, mobile, AI tools, and indie products.
200+ hours testing. No paid placements. Actionable advice to grow users and revenue.
Why These Reviews Matter
Most reviews chase features. Founders care about users, revenue, retention, and growth. I review products from a business-first lens: does onboarding convert, is pricing smart, can this realistically grow, and what would I fix as a founder?
For indie hackers, solo devs, and small teams who want customers — not just downloads.
How Reviews Are Done
- Founder-first analysis: Growth levers, pricing clarity, onboarding friction.
- Actionable feedback: Clear, testable suggestions you can ship this week.
- Real verdicts: Would I bet money or time on this product?
