Unified — Typeform Alternative (Unified / Abhishek, the “just copy it + find the gap” play)
A Bilibili breakdown channel relays the case of Indian indie developer Abhishek: he built the Typeform alternative Unified in two weeks, launched in 2023, and grew it over two years to about 11,000 users (roughly 5,000 signups, 500 paying), ~35,000 monthly visitors, 4M cumulative form submissions, and under $1,200/mo in costs. The core methodology: don't try to build the next Uber — copy a product that's already validated (an “X alternative”), find the gap it never filled, and build a one-click migration tool to move its users over.

Senja (testimonial collection SaaS) — the anti-viral growth path
A testimonial-collection tool that reached $1M ARR with no viral launch, after Reddit, the indie-hacker community, Slack and partnerships all failed and SEO plus affiliates quietly worked

Stripo
Everyone else sold marketing automation; this founder sold only the step marketers actually hate — building the HTML email — and 1,500 free templates plus a content-marketing engine took it to $3.7M ARR
