Split your SaaS subscription across student group members
SaaS bootstrappers targeting student group projects can't collect payments because universities block them, forcing students to stick with free tools like Discord.
Indie SaaS makers set up group subscriptions where individual students pay tiny shares via personal methods, auto-aggregating to full payment. Handles collections, reminders, and group access sharing. Prevents dropouts with prorated refunds.
