My app was in the green day 1. Albeit it was a payment for X organizations over 2 years.
Back to the original story. Maybe they already did their due diligence and garnered interest before the launch. It is smarter to do a dip test before actual app development begins and evaluate the potential of the business. Then it’s just about securing users before launching the app.
Good thing it was a digital app
Good one

I can believe it for a B2B or Enterprise app where you have an “in.” Not for a consumer app.
It looks like he was working on a “Simple Budget Tracking App” shortly before going live with essentially a plugin wrapper.
I just don’t see it and there isn’t any compelling proof other than “just trust me bro.”
I think the most interesting part of this story is:
Just one of thousands of examples of people using Bubble as a stepping stone and churning due to either costs, limitations, or a combination of these two. I do not understand the prioritization of chasing $32/mo subs instead of retaining users who would be willing to pay $1,000/mo if Bubble wasn’t so jagged in its capabilities.
Just chill, and go to the website of the instagram post owner, it says, How I started $144M at 23 years old, $12M a month, on the landing page.
There are too many get rich quick type of stuff out there, but I have never seen such number even anecdotally given.
Going for “most cynical” award here I suppose. Allow me to clarify.
It was profitable because I didn’t have to pay anyone, and my only bills were domain registration and bubble. All the other expenses were paid out of the revenue (API costs, Stripe processing fees).
The simple budget tracking app was something i built for fun as a personal finance tracker because we were dead broke and managing every dollar mattered. I also thought it might be a good way to teach my kids about budgeting. Had no intention of turning it into a real product.
The plugin you’re referencing came out after I publicly launched Magai. And to say that what I built was a “plugin wrapper” reveals just how little you understand what you’re criticizing. I tried using that plugin once it came out, but abandoned it shortly after because it wasn’t working the way I needed it to. I ended up hiring my first dev to help us build our own proxy server to stream responses.
Just trust me bro 
Magai MRR on Stripe 
Year 1 stats verified by Stripe. We’re 3 years in now, still here, making a living, supporting 12 team members and serving both consumers and enterprises.
One minute of research probably could have proven all of that for you though. It just goes to show you’re not here for the facts. You’re here to tear people down to your level because life hasn’t worked out for you.
I’ve been there. It’s a terrible place to be. And until you realize that tearing other people down and looking at everything through the lens of cynicism doesn’t actually help you move forward, you’ll stay right where you’re at.
Why did you create 20 posts in AI plugin threads after you had publicly launched Magai using a different tech stack?
According to this, your MMR fluctuated between $46 and $200 for about a year before it hit $1k. So how exactly can you substantiate “Day one - $1,000?”
I’m sorry you had to go through that, but it isn’t an excuse to lash out or project your anger onto random strangers on the internet.
Well, I can understand some of the questions regarding the 99K MRR.
The chart doesn’t support that. It shows around 31K MRR.
You printed the chart for a specific time frame, so we don’t know where you’re actually at in the last year and some months. Not sure why you didn’t show that.
However, I would say this is a success story regardless.
You started an app on Bubble and were successful.
Only a very small percentage of apps ever get to where your chart shows… a very small percentage actually.
So, I would say you did a great job at what you did 
It is a success story that others can get some inspiration from.
Start something. Test it. Change as needed and grow.
You did something… which is something most people never do because they’re stuck in an analysis paralysis phase.
Congratulations on your project
Alright all, please keep the conversation around the app and the founder story.
Stop personal attacks and debate the merits of the content rather than the person.
Thanks
