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?
one dashboard for all of this sounds great. can developers also access everything through an API?
tiun.
@avinashvagh1 Thanks for the question Avinash! You can already ask tiun today which products drive your MRR and how it has changed over time. In terms of expansion you can ask what plan drives most sales in various countries. In the future you can even correlate product updates with conversion numbers, and attribute revenue. All of this you can ask tiun without exporting anything. AI Analytics is currently in Beta, and you can directly request access in tiun.

the "one system instead of stitching together Stripe, Clerk, a database, invoicing" pitch is real, but it also means auth, billing, and customer data all live behind one vendor instead of three swappable ones. if I ever needed to leave, is there an export path for the customer/revenue data, or does going all-in on tiun mean the migration cost later is the price of the simplicity now?
tiun.
@galdayan Thanks Gal — very fair question! We definitely don’t want simplicity now to lock you in later. Our ambition is that as your startup grows, you choose to stay with us because the product keeps being the best option for you — not because we make it difficult to leave.
That said, all your customer, subscription, transaction and usage data is yours and can be exported. So if you ever decide to leave tiun, there’s a clear path to migrate it elsewhere.
Of course, if you use tiun for auth + billing + customer data, there will be more to migrate than if you only use a small part of it. But we don’t want to make leaving artificially difficult. The goal is to remove complexity, not create lock-in.

I’m an indie hacker and I lose way too much time wiring auth, payments, webhooks, and subscription logic together.
How close does tiun get me to shipping a monetized SaaS? And realistically, how long does setup take?

This is a really interesting approach. Auth, billing, customer data, and analytics are usually the parts you end up stitching together once a product starts growing. Having that foundation in one place could save builders a lot of time. Curious to see how far Tiun takes the “one backend” vision.
