About this appAI proposal
Exitplan helps technical teams leave a SaaS product after a price rise. You point it at the app you use. It records the screens you can reach, reads the public API docs, pulls your exported data, and drafts a working copy of the features you actually use.
It is built for developers and small technical teams who today do this by hand: screenshots, downloaded docs, CSV exports and long sessions with an AI assistant. Exitplan keeps those steps in one project and shows what is covered and what is missing.
It is different because it starts from your data and your usage, not from a promise to clone everything. You get a coverage report, a data check and code you own, so you can decide whether leaving is worth it before you cancel.

- Why this name
- Two plain words joined: exit and plan. It names the job, a planned way out of a SaaS tool, and is easy to say.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Guided capture of screens
Walk through the app you pay for and Exitplan records each screen and flow, so the clone is built from what your team really uses.

API docs ingestion
Paste a docs URL or upload a spec. Endpoints, fields and objects are parsed into a model of the product's data.

Data import and mapping
Upload CSV or JSON exports. Fields are matched to the generated schema, with unmapped columns flagged for you.

Coverage report

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- No loop in the product. The product reaches customers through content and search. Teams facing a price rise look for ways out, and public write-ups of migrations can bring them in.
- Do they become customers?
- Generated apps are private to each team, so there is no built-in loop. Test whether people searching after a price rise will pay for a project instead of building it themselves.
- First customers
- Developers and small technical teams of 2 to 20 people who just received a large price increase from one named SaaS tool with an API and data export.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News: Share a worked example of leaving one SaaS tool, with the coverage report and cost, and invite readers to request theirs.
- Developer communities: Answer price-increase threads in self-hosting and indie developer forums, offering a free capture and coverage report.
- First milestone
- Five paying customers who each complete a project and replace one SaaS subscription in the same category.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimSaaS vendors are implementing large price increases that motivate customers to seek alternatives
- Public claimUsers can quickly build self-hosted clones of SaaS applications using LLM APIs at a fraction of annual subscription costs
- Public claimManual SaaS cloning workflow is feasible in a single evening with screenshots, API docs, and data exports
- Public claimUsers manually perform multiple steps to escape SaaS vendor lock-in: screenshots, API documentation download, data export, and manual reconstruction

RisksAI inference
- RegulatoryCopying a vendor's interface or code may breach terms of service or copyright. Clones must be limited to the user's own data and original code, and this needs legal review.
- AIGenerated clones may be incomplete or wrong in business logic such as billing rules, with errors only found after the switch. The coverage report must be honest.
- DataExports are often partial. Attachments, history and permissions may be missing, so migrations can silently lose data.
- CommercialEvidence is public claims from one forum. Many users may prefer to build it themselves in an evening, so willingness to pay is unproven.
- TechnicalCapturing apps behind login, single-page interfaces and bot protection is fragile, and each vendor change can break it.
