WebsiteSave sells software for website backups, security scanning, health monitoring, and recovery. Its $2.5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 2026.
What it actually sells
WebsiteSave combines automated backups, security scanning, website health monitoring, and intelligent recovery in one platform. Its features include automated daily and incremental backups, one-click full-site restoration, selective file restoration, security and file-change detection, and identification of a last known-good recovery point.

Where it sits in the data
WebsiteSave's $2.5K a month is higher than 52% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, this product needs demand from website owners, freelancers, agencies, commerce stores, and businesses that need backups, monitoring, and recovery. Distribution would have to come through search, content, partnerships, or direct outreach. The buyer would need to trust the software with website data and recovery decisions.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
One thing to take from WebsiteSave is the product shape: backup, security scanning, health monitoring, and recovery are presented together. The annual plans vary by features, storage, and retention, while enterprise plans add unlimited websites, dedicated support, custom SLAs, white-label options, and API access.
