MRR

Monthly Recurring Revenue — the predictable monthly income from your subscription-based product.

The Full Picture

MRR is the north star metric for SaaS businesses. If you have 100 users paying $10/month, your MRR is $1,000. For indie hackers and micro-SaaS builders, the milestones are: $100 MRR (validation), $1K MRR (ramen profitable), $10K MRR (quit your job territory).

Vibe coding makes it faster to build a product, but MRR growth depends on solving a real problem, not on how fast you can ship features.
