I assume SAAS is one of the best model for independent developer. If you build a helpful product, users will stay for a long time.

If you build it well, it'll probably be alive for a long time. (low daily expenses needed)

I thought of doing low-revenue-low-maintenance SaaS as a side job just to add to my income. Though I balk at the idea of having to support stuff. B2C is more tolerant of that, but with lower earning potential than B2B.
My experience (16 years selling desktop software as an Indie) is that the guy with the @aol.com email who paid $30 can be a significantly higher support burden than the organization that bought $3k of licenses.
I don't feel support is a big part of the game if you build it right. B2C need some virality as user churn is higher. Anyway, good luck, my friend )
Support can always be outsourced to a company like Foundkit
