I'm working with a friend on a cold emailing SaaS that will run on a subscription model with monthly credits. We plan to have a landing page at domain.com and a dashboard for our service at app.domain.com. The service will be based on n8n workflows, allowing users to upload leads and modify ChatGPT prompts through the website. Once configured, users can download a .csv or .xls file of their lead list with custom links. I need advice on affordable tools to build this and how to organize credits without end up spending too much. Also, I want to use something like Framer for the landing page design. What's the best way to set this up without going overboard on costs?

Yeah, just please avoid making this into a spammy tool. It’s easy to go down that road when focusing on cold emailing.
Since you have a technical friend, they can help you build custom tools relatively inexpensively. Consider using open-source solutions for the backend, like n8n, to keep costs down. For your landing page, Framer is a great choice since it’s user-friendly and offers templates. As for managing credits, you could implement a simple system with basic account tracking to limit usage based on subscriptions. Just ensure your friend handles the backend well to minimize errors as you go.
But how will you handle the scaling? ChatGPT can get pricey, especially as you grow, so it’s worth thinking about now.
Don’t worry, we’re keeping it legit over here!
