Step N Scroll is a verified iOS wellness app generating $338/mo revenue with exceptional 98% profit margins and a modest 2.5x profit multiple. The business is only 6 months old with solid data quality, but the sub-$400/mo revenue is too thin to justify confidence in durability or unit economics at acquisition. Buyer must verify active user count, churn, and whether the $338/mo is sustainable or a temporary spike.
The software itself — step tracking, app-blocking logic, streak counters, and challenge mechanics — is straightforward to build using Flutter or React Native with Apple HealthKit integration. Estimated out-of-pocket cost using AI coding assistance and managed backends (Firebase, Supabase) is $2.5K–$8K; build time 5–7 weeks for a functioning iOS MVP. However, the core acquisition risk is the unproven business: $338/mo with unknown user count and zero-day churn history means you are purchasing neither proven customer traction nor durable distribution. The App Store presence and any organic review signals have value only if disclosed. Rebuilding would preserve all business uncertainty while giving you full control over feature roadmap and monetization. Without customer count, cohort retention data, or CAC history, the gap between buying (acquiring an unvalidated micro-app) and building (owning the full roadmap from launch) is too small to justify the acquisition risk. Verdict: BUILD and own the go-to-market entirely.
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.
Step N Scroll is an iOS wellness app that reduces doomscrolling by blocking distracting apps until users reach their daily step goal. It also includes a 30-day challenge, streaks, progress tracking, a
