Micro SaaS examples that publish real revenue
The search results for "micro SaaS examples" are mostly lists of ideas written by people who have not shipped one. This page is the other thing: 76 products in our library are run by one person, 37 of them publish MRR, and the median of those is $64. The best one clears $54,684 a month.

The short answer
- One-person products are not a shortcut to $10k. Their median is $64, roughly 6× below the library median.
- The 90th percentile is $1,242 — that is the realistic "good" band for a solo product, and it is a single product’s MRR, not a month of revenue.
- The gap between 1 person and 2–5 people is not 2×. Median MRR goes from $64 to $362 — 6×.
What counts as micro SaaS here
We do not police the label. On this page it means products that match four observable things in our data: a declared team of one, a single core job, subscription pricing, and no funding round recorded.
| Shape | What we check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Team | team size field = "1 person" | the only field that separates solo from small team |
| Scope | one market assigned, one product | the library stores one primary category per product |
| Pricing | subscription (MRR reported) | a one-off purchase cannot report MRR |
| Funding | no funding field populated | bootstrapped, by the data we hold |
This is a filter, not a verdict: a product can be micro SaaS and still be missing from these tables if it never declared team size.
One person vs a small team
| Team | Products | Publish MRR | Median | Top 10% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | 76 | 37 | $64 | $1,242 |
| 2–5 people | 17 | 13 | $362 | $16,424 |
Only 93 products declare a team size at all — small samples, wide error bars. The direction is still clear.
One-person products with real MRR
Twelve products from the same sample, all declared as one-person teams. This is not a recommendation list — it is what the top of the solo distribution looks like. Every row opens that product’s fact page.

Sorted by MRR, not by how interesting the product is.
Why your favourite product is missing
Because the sample is narrow by design: 851 products that publish revenue through a payment provider. A famous product that never connected its billing data is invisible here. That is also why the numbers look smaller than the stories you read on X.
How to use this page
Questions people actually search
What is micro SaaS?
A small, single-purpose software business: one core job, subscription pricing, one or two people, no outside funding. We do not police the label; on this page it means products that match that shape in our library.
Micro SaaS examples with revenue?
The table above lists products from our library with declared MRR, from $98 up to $238,620 at the top of the sample. Each row links to the product's own fact page.
How much do micro SaaS products make?
Of the 76 products labelled as one-person teams, 37 report MRR, and the median of those is $64. Across all 435 reporting products the median is $396 — bigger teams pull that number up.
Are micro SaaS products profitable?
We cannot answer that: our fields carry revenue, not costs. A one-person product at $2k MRR with no staff is a different business from a $2k product paying for contractors, and we do not have the second number.
Micro SaaS vs SaaS?
Same mechanics, different scale and scope: micro SaaS targets one narrow job and usually one buyer type, which is why it can be run by one person. The revenue distribution on this page is where that difference shows up.
Method: 851 products in our library that publish revenue through a payment provider, crawled 2026-10-30. 435 of them report a non-zero MRR; medians and percentiles are computed on that subset only. Missing values are never treated as zero. This is the population that chooses to publish revenue — not the whole market.
