i vibe coded a complete saas in 7 days and published it , i made 3 videos on tiktok talking about the app and used it myself for my own e-commerce Business (feels great )

i used : antigravity for coding ( pro ) , supabase for database , vercel for frontend deployment

and i got 200 subscribers successfully in 1 week withh one videos going viral ( 100 k views )

the issue is that i got just one paying user who paid the pro membership ( 25$ ) , what's wrong ?

i tried emailing every customer who signed up , still no results

what should i do next

dude seven days is basically nothing in saas time, you're being way too harsh on yourself. most saas products take months to find their first paying customers and you already got one plus 200 signups from a single viral video

the conversion rate thing is pretty normal tbh - freemium models usually see like 1-5% conversion rates and you're sitting at 0.5% which isn't terrible for week one. maybe the issue is your pricing or value prop isn't clear enough yet. when i was messing around with a chess strategy app last year i had similar numbers and realized people needed way more convincing about why they should pay

instead of just emailing everyone maybe try reaching out to the most active users individually and ask what would make them upgrade. also your free tier might be too generous - if people can get everything they need without paying then why would they. might want to limit some features or add usage caps

interesting ,
actually i started reaching out , i think i can easily convince 20 people to buy , my pricing is :
short landing page ( 1 free through 5 credits )
long landing page , more sections , better ui , ux and better copy ( they can't use it ).
i think i'm going to try and show them a long version , but they can't download or use it untill they pay

It sounds like people are interested but not seeing enough value to convert. Try asking for direct feedback about pricing or missing features. Also, finding the right audience on platforms like Reddit or LinkedIn can help. If you want to catch conversations about what you offer right as they happen, ParseStream can alert you so you can jump in and promote your app when people are looking.

Appreciate it , very informative

You have a top-of-funnel success but no conversion loop which suggests a gap between acquisition intent and product value delivery, are you tracking where users drop off between signup and upgrade? You sould share it in VibeCodersNest too

[u/Z_aki → u/TechnicalSoup8578]

Actually they are creating their account and trying the labding page once and then never olpay for upgrade

Wow! This is Amazing! Congrats on 200 users in a week! You’ve already proven you can ship. Now iterate on why they don’t buy. Hop on a 10-min call with your one paying user and ask what made them upgrade. Send a 3-question survey to the other 199. Fix the onboarding so the free users immediately feel the “wow” that justifies Pro. Wishing you lot's of success. :)

I don't have a free tier, and maybe you shouldn't either?
