SeasonBill: billing for seasonal businesses
Stops businesses that work ten months a year from paying for dead-season subscriptions
- Problem
- Festival producers and event businesses go nearly idle for a couple of months each year. Flat monthly pricing feels like a rip-off in quiet months, while annual plans are hard to sell, and founders admit pricing is harder than building the product.
- Solution
- A billing component with active-month pricing, automatic off-season pause and peak-season surcharges, letting customers freeze accounts while keeping data. Ships with Stripe integration and a revenue forecast dashboard.
- Users
- Small vertical SaaS builders and indie developers serving seasonal industries, plus event and festival service providers.
- MVP
- Active-month billing logic; off-season pause and resume; Stripe subscription hookup; revenue forecast dashboard; customer self-serve pause page
- Revenue
- Subscription priced as a percentage of revenue or flat tiers, also offered as a billing API
- Why now
- Vertical SaaS is booming but standard billing tools assume year-round usage, leaving a gap incumbents ignore
