How Dealpuffin is different
Dealpuffin is a marketplace of live Stripe coupons for early products. The founder already bills on Stripe. They point at the product URL, connect a read-only key, and publish the coupons they want early users to claim. The person who claims a code pastes it at that product's checkout.
Both sides are early adopters. The products are new. The people browsing are the ones who try tools first. Often that is the same person.
The coupon terms come from Stripe, with a last-synced time. Revenue stays hidden unless the founder opts in. Then the listing shows a band or the exact MRR, also from Stripe, not a number they typed.
Dealpuffin does not sell a membership, take the payment, or redeem the code. There is no partnership negotiation, no review queue, and no scale requirement before a small coupon can be listed. An agent can run the publish, or search the catalog for a deal. See Go to market and Find a SaaS deal for your user.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Dealpuffin for?
Indie and small SaaS products that already charge on Stripe and want early adopters to try the paid product. And the people who try new tools first. A membership club for famous-tool credits, and a shop for pay-once licenses, are different jobs.
How is a Dealpuffin coupon different from a startup credit?
A Dealpuffin code is a Stripe promotion code the product already created. The seeker pastes it at that product's checkout. A startup credit is usually a vendor program with an application, an eligibility check, and a wait.
Does Dealpuffin show revenue?
Only if the founder opts in. The listing then shows an MRR band, or the exact figure, fetched from Stripe, as social proof. See Showing MRR.
Do I need approval or a minimum size to list?
No. Connect a Stripe read-only key and publish the coupons you want used. There is no application and no revenue floor. Platforms that negotiate a perk, or that sell a pay-once license, are doing a different job.
