<p>My app turns photos into short AI videos and restores/colorizes old photos. Native SwiftUI iOS app launched in November–December 2025. Hybrid monetization via RevenueCat: weekly, monthly, multi-month and annual subscriptions plus pay-per-use credits. No ads.</p><p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul> <li>Annual revenue: $671 gross / $495 net proceeds (first ~10 months)</li> <li>MRR: ~$92 with 6 active subscriptions (Oct 2026 snapshot)</li> <li>Steady revenue of ~$50–115/month since February 2026</li> <li>Running costs: ~$16/month (~$11 fal.ai video generation + $5 VPS)</li> <li>780 new customers in 12 months; 47 new and 55 active users in the last 28 days</li> <li>Hybrid model validated: subscriptions 90%, one-time credits 10%</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo founder running a portfolio of 30+ apps. The app needs very little time. No employees.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul> <li>Mobile: native Swift / SwiftUI, SwiftData, AVKit, iOS 17.5+.&nbsp;</li> <li>Backend: NestJS 10 (TypeScript), Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL, JWT auth, Docker on a Linux VPS.&nbsp;</li> <li>AI: fal.ai Kling 2.5 Turbo (image-to-video), Replicate FLUX Kontext (photo restoration/colorization), OpenAI (prompt helpers).&nbsp;</li> <li>Other: RevenueCat (subscriptions + consumable credits), OneSignal.</li> </ul> <p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>All users come from organic App Store search; no paid marketing. Brazil is the largest market (~31% of proceeds), followed by Russia, Argentina, Netherlands and Ukraine, so Portuguese/Spanish localization is a strong growth lever.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul> <li>Gross revenue (12 mo): $670.80 from 180 transactions</li> <li>Net proceeds (12 mo): $494.77</li> <li>Average of last 3 months: $68 gross per month</li> <li>Pricing: monthly $9.99, weekly/2-month/3-month/annual plans; credits: photo $0.49, video $0.99</li> </ul> <p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>At $1,000 and current net profit of ~$35–45/month, payback is about 2 years at today's numbers with zero marketing. Localization (Portuguese), ASO, TikTok content and Apple Search Ads can shorten this significantly.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul> <li>iOS app via Apple App Transfer (reviews and active subscriptions)</li> <li>Full source code: SwiftUI iOS app + NestJS backend</li> <li>RevenueCat project (subscriptions + consumable credits)</li> <li>User database and 6 active paying subscribers</li> <li>App icon, design assets, store metadata and screenshots</li> <li>30 days of technical handover support.</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Young app (under 1 year) with small revenue. Video generation depends on third-party AI APIs (fal.ai, Replicate); price changes would affect margins, although usage-based costs scale with revenue. The AI photo/video category is competitive.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>A young, validated AI photo-to-video and photo restoration app with a hybrid subscription + credit model, ~$92 MRR, an organic funnel of ~47 new users/month and a modern SwiftUI + NestJS stack. Numbers are from RevenueCat and can be verified live.</p><p>✅ $671 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 6 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: Freemium</p><p>✅ Built with Node.js, SwiftUI, OpenAI</p>
