#2CronAlarm - https://www.cronalarm.com
A platform for monitoring cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Nobody here is getting rich from it, but it is profitable and brings in some extra cash which is nice.

#3https://freeyourmusic.com Moving music between different streaming services. Eg. Spotify to Apple Music.
Profits from it have let me invested and co-founded another startup I am building that is 100x more complicated: https://ahoy.io
It's nice because I do not have to worry about salary, as I can live comfortably from the revenue from STAMP.

Do you find it hard to get users at the 50 USD level? Im about to launch a REST api monitoring service as a solo dev and wondering about pricing and user aquisition strategy. Thanks!

The website provides a semester simulator that can (accurately) predict student grades, workload, etc for a given course / semester.
It also provides a breakdown of the grade distributions, work load (in hours), difficulty, etc. For every course, professor, and combination there, for universities on the site.
Profitable is relative, I spent around 100 hours tossing the website together and make maybe $100+ a month with a freemium model. I have roughly 2500 active users (not all paying), with zero put into advertising. There is probably potential to grow this, but thus far prying money from students is painful.

I think you should price your service based on your estimated cost +a percentage of profit rather than artificially setting a price.
