Indie founders converge on a '$25 problem': the fixed SaaS tooling floor before a product earns a dollar
Reddit r/SaaS·low signal
A widely-discussed r/SaaS thread catalogs the pricing convergence across the standard indie stack — Supabase, Resend, bunny.net and peers all landing at $20–$25/month — and argues the cumulative fixed cost has become a real barrier to launching, with the OP noting that cheaper or free-tier paths exist if you dig past the default plan. It is anecdotal rather than measured, but the pattern is a useful counterweight to the 'building is free now' narrative: model inference costs have fallen while the surrounding infrastructure subscriptions have not.
