Are you fine connecting separate tools for auth, payments, billing, taxes, and analytics? Or do you prefer one system handling most of it? Not just because setup takes time, but because every extra service means another dashboard, integration, and possible failure. Asking this cause I think builders should spend more time shipping the product, as long as the backend stays flexible and reliable. But this brings us to another question, when does convenience become lock-in?

Congrats, team! Relevant product! One recurring problem for indie hackers is that Stripe is unavailable or limited in their country. Can a founder use tiun to sell globally without first building a company in a Stripe-supported market?

@kate_ramakaieva Thanks Kate, appreciate it! And yes — The countries we support aren’t dependent on Stripe’s availability.
Today, businesses from 39 countries can onboard with us and sell to customers across 64 countries.
We’re adding new countries pretty much every month, and we’re quite reactive to requests from founders — so if your country isn’t supported yet, definitely reach out.
You can see the full and always up-to-date list of supported countries here: https://legal.tiun.io/business-location

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Nikolaos, one of the founders of tiun.
AI tools now let one builder ship what once required an entire product team. The obvious gain is speed, but turning that product into a business still requires several systems that were never designed to work together.
We saw this across 150+ founder conversations: You build the core product in days, then spend weeks connecting auth, payments, billing, and analytics.
The Problem with "Best-in-Class" Tool Stacks:
❌ Sync Chaos: Every tool brings its own customer ID, billing state, event model, and retry logic. Your code ends up stuck keeping them in sync.
❌ Broken Logic: A subscription renews in your payment provider, but a failed webhook leaves your database unchanged—so a paying customer suddenly loses access.
tiun removes that coordination layer.
Authentication, payments, billing, customer data, and analytics run in one system, connected from the very first transaction:
⚡ All-in-One Infrastructure: Subscriptions, one-time payments, usage-based billing & Merchant of Record (MoR) services out of the box.
🔄 One Customer Context: Account and commercial state stay connected across the product, without another sync layer to maintain.
🚀 Go Live in Minutes: Connect tiun and delete weeks of redundant backend work from your roadmap.
tiun isn't another isolated auth tool or payment dashboard. It is one unified system for shipping and monetizing your product.
We'd love your feedback! Give tiun a spin and tell us: Which part of turning a product into revenue still feels harder than it should? 👇
That's super interesting, What currencies do you guys support?
tiun.
@ansharora Thanks Ansh! There are two layers to the question :) You can sell and receive payouts in 120+ currencies. tiun holds the money in either a USD, GBP, EUR or CHF account (which is your default payment currency in your tiun dashboard)
The product hits the perfect pain point for most builders. So congrats on the launch. But how are you guys able to offer better pricing than Stripe?
tiun.
@chetanvaswani Thanks Chetan! Being based in Switzerland definitely helps. We have a pretty strong payments and banking ecosystem here, and we’ve been able to build direct partnerships with payment providers that give us more flexibility on the economics.
A lot of MoRs out there process through Stripe and then need to add their own fees on top. We don’t.
Can’t share the whole setup, but that’s essentially how we’re able to keep the pricing competitive :)
What kind of SaaS or AI product is tiun best suited for right now?
tiun.
@fletcher_oliver Thanks Fletcher! Right now, the sweet spot is small, technical teams that want to get from product to business quickly.
That can be pretty much any digital product: B2B or B2C SaaS, courses and education, templates or plugins, AI tools and API access, consulting services, or digital downloads.
Especially if you need auth, subscriptions or usage-based billing, customer management and global payments, but don’t want to build and maintain all of that infrastructure yourself.
We’re probably less interesting if you already have a mature stack with all of those pieces deeply integrated. But if you’re starting fresh or rebuilding parts of your backend, that’s where tiun really shines.
Given that auth, payment, and analytics are all rolled up into one, how flexible is each component in terms of customization vs. having an opinion on its own?
Additionally, Congratulations @byalexai @nikolaos_chr @sandro_zweig1 & team @tiun. 🎊
tiun.
@aymi_malik Thanks! 🙏 We’re intentionally opinionated on some parts, especially where security, reliability and compliance are involved.
Auth is a good example: we have certain flows, checks and information that need to be in place to make sure we cover all states reliably. Today you can choose between light and dark mode, but you can’t fully customize the UI yet.
Payments are similar — there’s flexibility around how you price and monetize your product, but certain parts of the payment flow are standardized because we’re the MoR.
Over time, we definitely want to open up more customization. We just want to make sure we don’t trade reliability for flexibility while doing it.
What I can say is that we have some pretty exciting releases in the pipeline, especially around auth. So there’s definitely more flexibility coming :)
And thanks for the support! 🙏

Congratulations to Nikolaos, Chris, and other members! The feature that I like about this Tiun is that authentication and payments are handled by the same provider.
Also, the customer support is top-notch. I had questions about the product, and I got an answer within a day or two.

@iliashaddad3 Thank you Ilias for the kind words! We loved that you reached out with questions and that we could be of help!
