Probecast.io
Probecast is a SaaS dashboard designed as a 'second screen' for indie founders. It aggregates revenue, growth, and infrastructure monitoring into one always-on view, with one row per product. It connects to payment providers such as Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, and Mercado Pago, and can use Google Analytics data or its own first-party pixel for privacy-first analytics. Revenue intelligence features map incidents to revenue, showing the financial impact of outages in real time. Growth analytics track traffic sources, campaigns, page performance, device conversion, and time to first payment, tying metrics to actual Stripe dollars. Infrastructure monitoring covers APIs, websites, and third-party providers, with a wallboard that refreshes automatically and shows status at a glance. An API catalog allows monitoring of custom and catalog endpoints. Probecast is a paid service with a free trial on the Indie plan and a two-minute setup. It emphasizes privacy by design, with no PII and cookieless tracking by default.
