Cleaner is a verified productivity app with $448/mo profit at 70% margins and a 2.23x profit multiple. The $12K ask is reasonable and recovers in ~27 months. The unknown business age is the primary concern — without it, durability cannot be assessed. The 70% margin is acceptable but the lowest threshold for inclusion. Device cleaning is a competitive category with many free alternatives, but the verified financials and accessible price support inclusion.
A device cleaning utility app is technically simple to build for $3-9K. The software is not defensible. However, at $12K with verified profit and an established App Store presence, the acquisition cost is barely above a clean rebuild cost — and you get an existing user base and rankings. The unknown age is a material concern. The score is exactly at the buy threshold; the affordable price and verified metrics are the deciding factor.
Cash estimate includes the AI tools, APIs and infrastructure needed for a solo founder to recreate the software. Build time is informational and lightly weighted. The verdict is driven mainly by customers, users, verified earnings, retention, distribution, brand, data and operating history.
Cleaner is a powerful app that helps you free up space and keep your device running smoothly with advanced AI technology.
