Looking for feedback on our SaaS platform before we push harder on marketing
I'm currently building GoWeekdays, a SaaS platform that's still in its early stages. Instead of building a single product, the idea is to have multiple business apps under one platform.
I also want to mention that I intentionally released it early. I didn’t want to wait until everything felt “perfect” from my perspective—I’d rather get real feedback now and improve based on actual user needs.
Right now, we've started releasing a few free apps, including:
- Invoice Generator
- Budget Tracker
- Planner
- Gigs
These are accessible here: https://apps.goweekdays.com
The main customer-facing platform is here: https://www.goweekdays.com
We also have several paid apps that are currently in beta.
One thing I want to be transparent about: I'm not using a payment gateway yet since I haven't opened a business bank account. For now, payments are handled manually and go directly to my personal account. I do plan to integrate Xendit once everything is properly set up.
One feature I'm experimenting with is an affiliate program. The idea is:
- 15% recurring commission for every paying referral
- If someone reaches 40 active paying referrals, their recurring commission increases to 20%
- The higher rate stays with them for life, as long as those referrals remain active subscribers
The goal is to reward people who genuinely recommend the platform instead of paying a one-time referral bonus.
I'm not here to promote it—I genuinely want to ask for advice from business owners and founders.
If you were evaluating a new SaaS platform:
- Would this affiliate model motivate you to recommend it?
- What would make you trust a new platform enough to try it?
- Are there any red flags or improvements you think I should consider before investing more in marketing?
I'd appreciate honest feedback, even if it's critical. I'd rather improve the product now than spend money marketing something people don't actually want.
Thanks!
