I'm a solo dev launching my first app, Yatavi, tonight. I built it because I was frustrated that every decent travel planner charges an expensive monthly subscription just to use basic maps or add multiple stops.
I decided to make Yatavi completely free without forced paywalls. Instead, I implemented an "Energy" system (similar to mobile games). Users can access all premium features by watching a voluntary rewarded ad to refill their energy.
Since this community knows a lot about SaaS and app monetization, I d love your honest observations and feedback.
Yatavi is a free travel planner that lets you organize itineraries, track expenses, and check the weather in one place. No premium subscriptions—just optional ads for full access.
