SoloPro

Simple profit tracker for solo founders

Visit Website
September 8, 2026 I thought I made $4.2k last month. My real profit was $2.2k.

For the last 6 months I thought I was doing well.

Stripe says $4.2k this month. Nice.

Then I pay $600 for tools, $400 contractors, $800 taxes I forgot about, $150 Stripe fees...

Real profit? $2.2k. Half of what I thought.

I tried Bonsai, Quickbooks, spreadsheets. All of them are built for agencies or accountants. I just wanted one simple answer: "How much did I REALLY make this month?"

So I started building a stupidly simple tracker for myself:

  Connect Stripe

  Add expenses in 2 clicks

  One number: Real Profit

No invoices, no accounting, no "profit & loss statements".

I called it SoloPro. Launched it here last week to $0 MRR (as you can see on my profile lol).

Question for other solo/freelancers: how do you actually track if you're profitable? Are you using a spreadsheet, just checking bank balance, or some tool that finally worked for you?

I feel like I'm overcomplicating it and there's a simpler way I'm missing.

    The ¥? “real profit” framing is much sharper than generic accounting. Have early users actually replaced their spreadsheet/QuickBooks workflow with SoloPro, or is the simplicity mainly appealing in theory?

      That’s exactly what I’m trying to validate right now. I don’t want to claim that SoloPro has replaced QuickBooks or spreadsheets for a large number of users yet — it’s still early. The simplicity is the main idea: SoloPro is focused specifically on answering “what did I actually keep?” without requiring a full accounting workflow. I’m actively looking for those early users who currently use spreadsheets or accounting tools, because their feedback will tell me whether the simplicity is actually valuable or just sounds good in theory. If you’re using spreadsheets or QuickBooks yourself, I’d genuinely love to hear what you feel is missing from your current workflow.

        That’s a useful validation target. If you’re open to it, what’s the best email to reach you on?

            Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.

            Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.

September 8, 2026 Just launched SoloPro - simple profit tracker for solo founders (looking for feedback!)

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I just launched my first product — SoloPro.

👉 https://solopro.vercel.app

I built it because I kept running into a simple problem: revenue isn’t the same as profit.

As a freelancer/solo founder, it’s easy to look at your bank account and think you’re doing well — until you account for expenses, payment fees, and taxes.

So I built SoloPro to answer one question quickly:

“How much money did I actually make?”

The idea is simple: enter your income and expenses, and SoloPro gives you a clearer picture of your real profit without having to maintain complicated spreadsheets.

I’m building this solo and bootstrapped, and this is my first product launch.

I’d genuinely love some feedback:

  • What would make you switch from spreadsheets?

  • What features are missing?

  • Would you actually use something like this for your business?

  • What do you currently use to track your real profit?

Even brutally honest feedback is welcome. 😄

AMA about building SoloPro!

P.S. If you find it useful, an upvote on the product page helps a ton for a first-time maker 🙏

About

I was freelancing and constantly confused about my real profit. Stripe fees, expenses, taxes - my bank balance looked good but I had no idea what I actually kept. I tried Bonsai and HoneyBook but they were too expensive
