Promo Code Aggregator & Deal Finder

Users waste time hunting for discount codes across multiple retailers and SaaS platforms. A SaaS tool automatically scrapes and verifies active promo codes in real-time across 100+ popular services (ChatGPT, Adobe, AWS, etc.), displays current discounts, and notifies users when new codes drop.

Honey (acquired by PayPal for $4B) and RetailMeNot have already trained consumers to expect free browser extensions that do this automatically at checkout, which makes building a standalone SaaS with a subscription model an uphill battle — users won't pay for something they already get for free. The SaaS-specific angle (ChatGPT, AWS, Adobe) is a narrower niche with genuine friction, since those codes are scattered across Reddit threads and affiliate blogs, but the audience is small and price-sensitive developers who will just Google it themselves before paying. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is realistic only if monetization shifts to affiliate commissions rather than subscriptions, which changes the business model entirely and compresses margins. The most likely failure mode is that scraped codes are stale or ToS-restricted, verification at scale is technically painful, and affiliate programs for SaaS tools pay poorly compared to retail — the economics never quite work.
