Micro-SaaS Browser Extension

Build a single-purpose Chrome extension that solves one painful workflow problem

Micro-SaaS browser extensions solve one specific, recurring pain point — like auto-filling proposals, summarizing long email threads, or tracking price drops on e-commerce sites. Because they're small in scope, a solo developer can build, launch, and maintain one in weeks rather than months.

The business model is straightforward: freemium with a $5–$15/month Pro tier. Distribution is organic through the Chrome Web Store, ProductHunt launches, and niche community seeding. With near-zero marginal costs (no servers for client-side logic), gross margins regularly exceed 95%.

The best niches are B2B workflows where users are already paying for productivity tools. Extensions that save salespeople, recruiters, or marketers 30+ minutes per day command strong willingness to pay and low churn. Aim for 500 paid users at $9/month for a $54K ARR lifestyle business.
