Join founders & indie makers sharing their monthly expenses. Compare costs, discover startups & tools, and see how your burn rate ranks on the public leaderboard (hopefully not too high ๐ ).
Hey everyone! ๐๐ผ First launch here!
I built BurnCash because no one talks about expensesโฆ yet they're just as important as revenue & profit. I always wondered: what do founders actually spend money on the most each month? Hosting? AI? DB? And how much?
There's now a public leaderboard for all that! It's also a fun way to discover founders, startups, tools, services etc!
It started as a fun 2 hours side-project, but founders loved the idea. I even added an auction system for ad spotsโฆ and it unexpectedly became my most profitable project so far ๐
Right now the goal is to give everyone in the leaderboard & ad spots visibility + a solid backlink while I keep improving the SEO.
Would love to hear your thoughts - and feel free to contribute to the cauldron by joining the leaderboard! ๐
Cheers!
Interesting project @vynsedev . Iโm curious how you verify the expense entries - do founders self-report everything, or is there any check to keep the leaderboard accurate over time?
it's really interesting to realise who's paying what!
Makes me want to know more about the founders and what they're working on

@vynsedevย exactly! A lot depends on personal situation. 10 years ago I was running on a shoestring budget. Now I can afford to pay a little to save my own time. That comparison helps a bunch.

Iโve been following Vincent for a while, and this is such a simple but genius idea.
Stuff like this makes building in public even more fun :)

@harkirat_singh3777ย can't really verify them, I'm not going to ask people to scan their bills haha
if you've got any idea ofc I'm open, there's clearly potential for more (especially the expenses tracking over time)
There's not much interest in lying anyway..
Thank you ๐๐ป
Fun to see how other's are stacking up!! I can see that I'm not very frugal - food for thought :)

It would be ironic if "burning money" directory turns out not to be burning money itself.
