<p>My app enhances portraits with AI retouching and lets users design profile photo covers with frames. Live on the App Store since early 2023 with $8K lifetime revenue, and recently rebuilt from scratch as a native SwiftUI app (v2.2, iOS 18+) with new AI retouching features. Monetized with weekly and monthly subscriptions (3-day trial), a lifetime plan and one-time credit packs via RevenueCat. No ads.</p><p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul> <li>Lifetime gross revenue: $8,042 (2023 $4,069 · 2024 $2,588 · 2025 $1,036 · 2026 YTD $349)</li> <li>Last 12 months: $503 gross / $394 net proceeds</li> <li>MRR: $13 with 4 active subscriptions (Oct 2026 snapshot)</li> <li>Running costs: ~$6/month (~$1.3 fal.ai + $5 VPS)</li> <li>Organic funnel: 2,161 new customers in 12 months; 116 new and 205 active users in the last 28 days</li> <li>266 App Store ratings (US), localized in 12 languages</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo founder running a portfolio of 30+ apps.

Revenue peaked at ~$490/month in May 2023 and has declined since, but the app still attracts ~116 new users per month organically. The new SwiftUI version and credit model (added June 2026) give a fresh base for paywall and pricing optimization.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul> <li>Gross revenue (12 mo): $503.08 from 375 transactions</li> <li>Net proceeds (12 mo): $393.81</li> <li>Average of last 3 months: $33 gross per month</li> <li>Revenue split: subscriptions 97%, credit packs 3%</li> <li>Pricing: weekly $4.99, monthly $3.99/$5.99, lifetime plan, credits $0.99–$4.99</li> </ul> <p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>Current revenue is small, so the price mainly reflects asset value: a listing live since 2023 with reviews, a steady organic funnel and a freshly rebuilt native codebase with a credit system. Paywall optimization, ASO and new AI features can bring revenue back toward earlier levels.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul> <li>iOS app via Apple App Transfer (266 ratings, active subscriptions)</li> <li>Full source code: rebuilt SwiftUI iOS app + NestJS backend with admin panel</li> <li>RevenueCat project (subscriptions, lifetime plan, credits)</li> <li>User database and 4 active paying subscribers</li> <li>App icon, design assets, store metadata and screenshots (12 languages)</li> <li>30 days of technical handover support</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Revenue has declined steadily since 2023 and MRR is low. AI processing depends on fal.ai (cost is ~$1/month today but scales with usage). The AI photo category is competitive.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>An established AI photo app (since 2023, $8K lifetime revenue, 266 ratings) with ~116 organic new users/month and a freshly rebuilt SwiftUI + NestJS codebase with a credit system. A good base for a buyer who can work on paywall, pricing and ASO. Numbers are from RevenueCat and can be verified live.</p><p>✅ $503 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 4 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: Freemium</p><p>✅ Built with Node.js, SwiftUI, PostgreSQL</p>
