About
Fixthis is a platform where users can post their frustrations and pain points regarding the software products they currently pay for. It connects dissatisfied users with competing SaaS alternatives that can respond with solutions and offers to win them over.
The platform is designed for anyone dealing with bloated, expensive, or frustrating software tools who wants to discover better alternatives. Visitors can browse problems, see what others are struggling with, and check out answers from competing products looking to fix those exact issues.
What makes it different is the direct bridge between user complaints and competitive SaaS responses, turning everyday software grievances into actionable opportunities for switching to better tools.

I will stand up and say everybody on this call do not switch to the new business model. Like do not. It is at best a bad idea, at worst a huge distraction. The 2% discount is not insubstantial — maybe 12% of fees reduction — but you're accepting this potentially catastrophic risk that if your app goes viral, you can owe Apple millions on Core Technology Fee.
Indies should NOT switch — 2% upside doesn't compensate for catastrophic tail risk
Jacob's blunt advice to indie founders: don't be a guinea pig. The headline 2% fee reduction looks attractive until you model what happens to a free app that suddenly goes viral and racks up €0.50 per install on millions of free downloads. Let larger companies with modelable cases go first; this may be a one-way door.
Short simple straight to the point subject lines, a couple of lines of body copy — and then you can always attach the press kit with high resolution images, all the information they could ever want about the founders, the app, its purpose, and then the images or assets necessary.
Short pitch, deep press kit — give writers everything to write the story without a follow-up
The pitch email gets two seconds. The press kit is what closes the story. The ideal format is a few personal sentences in the email body, and a linked press kit with hi-res images, founder backstory, feature list, App Store copy, and a TestFlight link — so a writer can go from reading the subject line to publishing with zero additional outreach. The goal is removing every possible friction point.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
