Micro SaaS Tool
Small software, big recurring revenue
Micro SaaS businesses are small, focused software tools that solve a specific problem for a niche audience and charge monthly or annual subscriptions. They can be built and run by a solo founder or tiny team. The model produces the highest margins in business due to near-zero marginal cost per customer.
