- App Developer
- $4,000 monthly revenue
A developer in the Philippines shared a straightforward approach…
- Find apps that are already making money.
- Clone them with AI.
- Make them slightly better.
- Undercut on price.
I can run a business on a $5 subscription while some dev in San Francisco or London needs to charge $30 just to pay their rent. That’s how I kill the competition.
He’s built two fitness apps so far – a GLP-1 medication tracker and a workout logger inspired by Liftosaur. The workout app drives 70% of his revenue.
Claims to be at $4K/month from the two combined 
No Stripe proof was shared, so take the $4K claim with a pinch of salt.
But the strategy is clearly resonating – another commenter says they’re doing the exact same thing and also at $4K/month 
Our Philippines dev adds…
I used Claude Code to build these 10x faster than I ever could manually. Don’t get stuck being a perfectionist.
Build fast, ship it, take the feedback, and improve.
Pick a category where the existing products are overpriced or outdated, and build something better – AI makes it possible in a weekend
