Editorial philosophy

A blog that respects founders' time.

Most SaaS content online is one of two things: AI-generated listicle filler, or gated “deep dives” behind an email wall with no real depth once you get in. Neither actually helps a founder decide what to do on Monday morning.

We take a narrower approach. Every article we publish answers a specific question we have had — or that a founder we talked to has had. We write from direct experience or from structured research with people doing the work. We do not write about every SaaS topic; we write about the ones where we can actually move the conversation forward.

If an article on this blog cannot pass the test of “would I email this to a friend in this situation,” we do not publish it. That is why we ship less than the average blog and why the articles are longer than average — 8–18 minutes, instead of 3.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

8 honest answers about our editorial approach, cadence, and how the blog connects to the product.

How often do you publish new articles?+
New pieces are added as we learn something worth sharing. We prioritize depth over cadence — a single well-researched piece beats ten shallow ones. Current library: 9 articles across 9 categories. Subscribe via the dark CTA section at the bottom of any post to get notified when new pieces drop.
Who writes the articles?+
The PlanMySaaS editorial team — founders, engineers, and researchers who have built SaaS products themselves or are actively building. No ghostwritten listicles, no SEO filler. If we do not have direct experience with a topic, we interview people who do before publishing.
Can I republish or quote your articles?+
Short quotes (under 90 words) with a clear attribution link back to the original article are welcome — no permission required. For longer excerpts, translations, or full republication, email hello@planmysaas.com with your use case.
How do you decide what to write about?+
Three sources: (1) questions real founders ask us in support and during onboarding, (2) gaps we see in existing content — places where all the advice is either fluff or gated, (3) frameworks we have used ourselves when planning SaaS products that actually worked.
What is the difference between blog articles and guides?+
Articles are focused reads on a specific topic (5–18 minutes). Guides are step-by-step, often longer, structured as a path to a concrete outcome. Start with articles for ideas and perspective. Read /guides when you are executing on a specific task.
Do you cover topics outside SaaS?+
Rarely. This blog exists to help SaaS founders — product, engineering, growth, funding, positioning, pricing, and the discipline of building. Adjacent topics like AI (as a tool) or startup psychology appear when they directly help someone ship a better SaaS.
Can I suggest a topic?+
Yes. Email hello@planmysaas.com with the topic, a brief explanation of why it matters, and what you wish existed. If it matches our audience, we will write it and credit your suggestion in the final piece.
How do these articles connect to the PlanMySaaS product?+
Each article's framework becomes more concrete when applied to a real project. When you finish reading an article, the “plan your own SaaS” button takes you into our 10-step wizard where the relevant ideas are pre-loaded so you can apply them in minutes instead of months. All backed by 100 free credits on signup.

Editorial standards

Every article on this blog has to earn its spot. We do not publish on a cadence; we publish when we have learned something that would actually change a founder's decision. That means a short library of long, well-researched reads rather than a long library of short, shallow ones. The current set is 9 articles across 9 categories, with an average read time of 12 minutes — deliberately dense.

We are deliberately narrow about what we cover. The blog focuses on SaaS planning, architecture, pricing, go-to-market, and the AI-era builder workflow. We do not cover general startup advice, fundraising tactics, productivity tips, or hot takes on the tech industry — other outlets do that better. If a topic does not help a founder plan, architect, price, or ship a SaaS product, it does not belong here.
