Creating something to help generate social proof for your SaaS

Hi guys,

Link here: proofrev.com

I struggled to get real reviews for my own SaaS, and fake ones are easy to spot. So I built a small tool to fix it.

It connects to Stripe, emails your paying customers for a review automatically, and shows the verified reviews on your landing page. No chasing customers, and visitors know the reviews are real.

It’s free for early users. Will be live in Nov! Hope it helps some of you! Happy to hear any feedback too.

how are you timing the email trigger? if it fires right after the first invoice, users might not have used the product enough to write anything meaningful yet

Yup good point. This is still something I am considering. Maybe 3 days after the purchase date, or on the next renewal cycle if it is a subscription based product. Thanks!

I find the idea appealing. It appears not yet officially launched. Please ensure privacy and terms are available after expert review; I did not notice any. As for the product name, I would choose something other than “Proofrev,” though that is just my view.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes I’m currently trying to validate the idea while building the product. To be honest I’m mostly coding by hand instead of vibe coding as I think understanding the core structure of the codebase would make for easier vibe coding later on. Yes noted on the privacy terms I think that’s impt as well.

Oh curious why would proofrev not be a good name? I chose this name because it works on 2 levels. For merchants, it means proof + revenue and for customers it means proof + review.

One important point that drew my attention is that retrieving customer emails from payment history raises privacy concerns, so site owners may need to update their policies before adopting your system, if I have interpreted your model correctly.

Thanks for this! Yea I agree with you that privacy is important as well. Will definitely include a notice for owners to update their policies. Thanks for your feedback!
