How to find a SaaS idea people will pay for.
A good idea is a problem someone already pays to solve. These five steps check for that before you write any code.
Start with people you can reach
Pick buyers you already know: your old industry, your clients, a community you belong to. You will need to talk to them this week, and an idea for strangers you can’t reach is hard to test.
Collect complaints in their words
Read where they complain: subreddits and Facebook groups for their trade, 1- to 3-star reviews of the tools they use, support forums. Save the exact sentences. The same job coming up again and again is your shortlist.
Check that money already moves
Find what they pay for today: software, spreadsheets, an assistant’s hours. Competitors with paying customers are good news. A problem nobody pays to fix tends to stay unpaid.
Ask for money before you build
Put up one page that explains the product and takes a pre-order or a deposit, and send it to the people from step 1. Ten conversations and a few payments tell you more than a month of building.
Build the smallest version that does the job
Solve one painful job from start to finish and charge from day one. A starter kit already handles sign-in, teams, billing and emails, so your first weeks go into the part customers pay for.
Where else to find SaaS ideas.
This page is free and starts from your skills. These sources are worth a look too, each for a different job.
IdeaBrowser (opens in a new tab)
From Greg Isenberg and Jordan Mix, the team behind The Startup Ideas Podcast. It publishes one free idea a day with search and score data. The full library, which it says holds 2,000+ researched ideas, plus trends, AI agents and a monthly 7-day accelerator, comes with a paid membership. Best if you want the research done for you.
Google Trends (opens in a new tab)
Free. Shows whether interest in a problem or a tool is growing, shrinking or seasonal.
Exploding Topics (opens in a new tab)
Topics that are growing in search, with a free list and paid plans for the full data.
Reddit (opens in a new tab)
Search a trade’s subreddit for “is there a tool”, “I wish” or “how do you handle”. The replies show what people already use and what annoys them.
G2, Capterra and app stores (opens in a new tab)
1- to 3-star reviews of popular tools list what customers want and don’t get.
Indie Hackers (opens in a new tab)
Founders share what they built and how it sells, which shows what people pay for.
Open-source pain-point miners (opens in a new tab)
Small GitHub projects such as reddit-pain-points use an AI model to pull complaints from Reddit. You run them yourself.
This page and IdeaBrowser, side by side
| Topic | This page | IdeaBrowser |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | One free idea a day; the library is a paid membership |
| Ideas | Three at a time for your skills or your own idea, plus the written ideas on this page | 2,000+ researched ideas, by its own count |
| Market data | None: you run the 7-day test | Search, trend and niche data |
| Help building | A first prompt for your coding agent, and the shipanysaas starter kit | AI agents, tool deals and a monthly accelerator |
Questions about finding SaaS ideas.
Is this SaaS idea generator really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no paid tier. To keep it free for everyone, each visitor gets a few runs every 10 minutes and a daily maximum. When you reach it, “Copy the prompt” gives you the same brief for ChatGPT, Claude or any other AI chat.
Which AI models write the ideas?
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash writes them, and GLM 4.7 takes over when it is busy or down. Both run through Vercel’s AI Gateway. They are fast and cheap enough to offer the tool for free.
Do you store what I type?
No. What you type goes to the AI model to write your ideas, and shipanysaas doesn’t save it. The gateway only sends it to model hosts that don’t train on it. Leave out anything confidential all the same.
Is there a free alternative to IdeaBrowser?
This page is one: it’s free and writes ideas for your own skills, each with a 7-day test. It doesn’t have IdeaBrowser’s research library, trend data or coaching, which come with its paid membership. IdeaBrowser also publishes one free idea a day, and Google Trends, Reddit and 1- to 3-star reviews of existing tools are free sources too.
How do I validate a SaaS idea before building it?
Talk to ten people who would pay, collect their complaints in their own words, and ask for a pre-order or a deposit on a one-page site. If nobody pays or books a call within a week or two, change the idea before you write code. Every idea on this page comes with three test steps for the first 7 days.
Can I build these ideas without being a developer?
Yes, if you work with a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and test what it builds. Each idea has a “Copy starting prompt” button that starts the agent on the shipanysaas starter kit, where sign-in, teams, billing and emails already work.
Are these ideas researched or proven?
No. The written ideas are starting points we wrote, and the generator’s ideas come from an AI model. Neither is market research, so run the 7-day test before you spend weeks building.
Found your idea? Start from a SaaS that already works.
shipanysaas is a starter kit where sign-in, teams with roles, billing, emails, an admin panel and a blog already work, with an iPhone and Android app in the All-in plan. Your coding agent builds your idea on top.
