Why We Picked This

ShortcutStudio delivers $369/mo revenue with exceptional 80% profit margins and a very attractive 2.1x annual profit multiple at $7,500 asking price. The 8-month track record and verified financials on TrustMRR provide confidence in the reported numbers. However, the absolute revenue scale is modest, and a buyer should confirm customer count, churn, and whether growth is organic or dependent on external channels before committing.

👍

ShortcutStudio's core asset is verified customer traction ($295/mo profit, 80% margins) and operational knowledge of Apple's Shortcuts ecosystem—not the software itself. Rebuilding a Shortcuts editor UI with API integrations would cost $8–16K in AI-assisted development and 10 weeks of founder time; the acquired business delivers immediate positive cash flow and removes that engineering risk. However, customer count and churn data are critical: if the user base is small or churn is high, the software reproducibility advantage weakens. At $7,500, the asking price is low enough that even a modest customer base and retention profile justify acquisition over a 10-week build. The verdict is BUY because the verified margin and multiple de-risk the cash outlay and offer faster path to revenue, conditional on confirming customer durability.

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.
