Why We Picked This

This mobile app generates $5.5K/mo revenue with reported margins above 100%, which mathematically indicates monthly profit exceeds revenue—a structural impossibility under standard accounting. The 1.98x multiple is attractive, but the profit-margin anomaly requires immediate clarification. The 4-year operating history and verified platform status are strengths, yet the core financial claim demands reconciliation before any acquisition decision.

👍

Strengths

  • ✓Attractive 1.98x annual profit multiple, well below typical SaaS comparables at 3–4x
  • ✓Verified financials on TrustMRR platform with high data-quality score (100)
  • ✓Established 4-year operating history suggests product–market fit and user retention
  • ✓Meaningful $5.5K/mo revenue base from a consumer mobile app is noteworthy
🔎

Details to confirm

  • •Profit margin reported as 100.00%+ (monthly profit $5,482 vs. revenue $5,481.70)—this violates standard P&L accounting and must be verified directly with the seller; clarify whether this reflects COGS allocation, revenue timing, or a data-entry error
  • •Request detailed P&L statement and app store/payment processor transaction records to confirm revenue and cost structure
  • •Confirm customer/active-user base, churn rate, and download trends across iOS/Android to assess recurring nature and growth sustainability
  • •Clarify whether the asking price includes app source code, all intellectual property, and active app-store accounts, or if those require separate transfer

The core software—a stud-finder/level/angle-measurement mobile app—is reproducible by a competent solo founder using AI-assisted coding, open-source sensor libraries (e.g., TensorFlow Lite for image processing, native iOS/Android accelerometer APIs), and hosted analytics. Estimated cash cost: $8K–$16K (AI coding subscription, asset libraries, and TestFlight/Play Console fees). Build time: 8–10 weeks at moderate scope. However, the primary acquisition asset is not the code itself but the app-store presence, verified user base, reviews, and monthly revenue stream. The unresolved profit-margin anomaly creates material due-diligence risk. If the seller can definitively demonstrate 4 years of genuine $5.5K/mo profit with acceptable churn and a clean P&L, the business traction tips toward BUY; as presented, the mathematical inconsistency and missing user/retention detail reduce confidence. Absent independent verification of historical revenue and active users, building a fresh version and bootstrapping organic distribution carries less acquisition and financial risk.

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.
