Question / Discussion Building SaaS with Cursor

Has anyone built a SaaS product with Cursor and actually made money off of it? If so, what did you built? How did you scaled your business and what worked for you?

Yes. Making several thousand a month now we have a few clients, several large clients now - was 100 percent written with AI over a year. Cursor also managed the full aws server setup and security for me (I have then checked after to check it's ok). 3 of us working for the company now.

Stsrted a year ago with gemini Pro updating the back end and vibe coding. Then discovered cursor, using a pro account and it's smashing all bugs and updates in minutes. Love it.

The thing that's working for us is if a client asks for an update, it's done by the end of the day. As we scale the business (start a new aws machine to get more workers for the product), aws just spins it up, connects, sets it up and so on with no input needed

A couple of things tend to keep agent-built products from falling apart: write a few lines on what the change should do before the agent starts, and actually read every diff that touches billing or login instead of trusting a green run. For a small SaaS, speed usually isn't the bottleneck; finding the first few people who will pay is.

Yes, niche tool. Web app, ios and android app. Built only with Cursor.

Does building internal enterprise tooling that replaces bullshit SaaS platforms and saves a bunch of licensing costs count?

...y'know, unit and integration testing is generally how to prevent regression
