The Hidden Cost of Micro-SaaS Churn

We look at why independent developers who build niche software tools are seeing retention rates drop below 60 percent within the first year.

We break down the specific metric that signals trouble early and how fixing one three-step workflow saved the business from collapsing under the weight of constant acquisition costs. #MicroSaaS #ChurnRate #IndieHacker #SaaSEconomics #RetentionStrategy #OnboardingFriction #CustomerSuccess #SoloFounder #BusinessMetrics #ProductLedGrowth #UserExperience #SoftwareDevelopment #B2BSaaS #NicheMarkets #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #TechTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
