Customers Don't Care About Your $7,746 MRR, Indie Dev of Alertly Reminds Builders
kylegawley · x · 2026-09-08
kylegawley, developer of Alertly, reflects that customers don't care about your MRR. A PR firm evaluating Alertly is asking: Does it catch the mentions I need? Is it reliable? Is my data safe? Is it worth the price?
They are not thinking — "Excellent, Kyle has reached $7,746 MRR." MRR milestones are inside-baseball; customer-perceived value is what closes deals.
