CoupleAI is a phone and web app that writes replies for a chat. The user uploads a screenshot of a conversation, chooses a tone, and gets one suggested message. The app sends the image to a multimodal model, an AI model that reads images as well as text; the company's privacy policy names Google's Gemini API as its AI processor. Most features sit behind a paywall, a screen that asks for a subscription before the feature can be used. The App Store seller is Miranda Network S.L, a software company in Tenerife, Spain, which Google Play describes as a studio created by Miguel Miranda. It has no other app.
The app was released on 22 June 2025. TrustMRR, a site that shows startups' revenue, reads its sales through an API key, a password that lets one program read another program's data, for RevenueCat, a service that records in-app subscription purchases, and for Stripe, which takes the web payments. On 25 October 2026 TrustMRR showed US$84,401 of revenue in the last 12 months, US$94,253 since launch, US$3,951 in the last 30 days, and MRR, monthly recurring revenue, in which a yearly plan counts as one twelfth of its price, of US$3,075 from 159 active subscriptions. A second tracker, whatsthe.app, read the RevenueCat account until 14 October 2026 and showed an MRR of US$3,481.
The revenue figures are grade A, because both sites read them from the payment records, not from screenshots. Revenue peaked at US$12,237 in March 2026 and has fallen every month since, and the app has been for sale since May 2026. The seller's own listing text claims more than the records show. The page also shows earlier dating and couples apps that failed.

| Founder | Miguel Miranda | B | Google Play's developer page says that Miranda Network is a software development studio created by Miguel Miranda; the developer contact email is in his name. TrustMRR names him as founder and seller, and the Android package name is dev.miguelmiranda.coupleai. | [5, 4, 1] |
| Seller on the stores | Miranda Network S.L, Spain | B | Apple's and Google's records. Both developer pages list only CoupleAI. The company's own site calls it an independent software company in Tenerife, Spain. | [3, 6, 5, 8] |

How to read this table: a grade A value was read by TrustMRR or whatsthe.app from the app's RevenueCat and Stripe accounts through API keys. A grade B value is a record that Apple or Google shows on its store. A grade C value was written by the seller, on a listing, a store page or the company's website. A "calc" value was computed on this page from the rows above it.
| Plan | Per month, billed yearly (US$) | Per month, billed monthly (US$) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoupleAI Weekly | about 38.96 | US$8.99 a week; unlimited replies, all five tones | |
| CoupleAI Monthly | 7.99 | unlimited replies, all five tones | |
| CoupleAI Yearly | 3.33 | US$39.99 a year | |
| CoupleAI Yearly Offer | 2.08 | US$24.99 a year, a discounted yearly price |
The app is free to download. Apple lists four in-app purchases, and whatsthe.app and TrustMRR show the same prices; the per-month values are calculated from the plan names. The weekly plan costs more per week than the monthly plan costs per month. A 3-day free trial was added to the weekly plan in July 2025. The web app also sells weekly, monthly, yearly and lifetime plans through Stripe, but it loads those prices by script and they could not be read; an older text in the site's code offers the lifetime plan as "Before €250, now €199.99".

Why did CoupleAI work?
Four causes, in the order they mattered. Each one is a reusable lesson.
A screenshot as the only input
The app does not connect to WhatsApp, Instagram or any dating app. The user takes a screenshot, and a model that reads images works out the text, the tone and the language. That avoids every integration and every platform rule, and it lets one person support all chat apps at once.
Five fixed tones and short replies
The web app's code holds one instruction per tone: funny, a "subtle flirty response" that is "playful but not intense", romantic, friendly teasing, and a reply that resolves an awkward moment. Every reply is one or two lines, in the same language, length and punctuation as the chat. The user chooses; the model only writes.
A Spanish-speaking market first
The site's default language is Spanish, and 62 of the 81 App Store ratings that whatsthe.app counts come from Spain and Mexico. The seller writes that the app has a strong presence in Latin America and that larger markets are the next step.
Creators and referral codes
The seller lists influencers as the marketing channel on TrustMRR. The web app has a creator programme: each creator gets a code and a link that opens the store, and a dashboard shows clicks, sign-ups, purchases and commission. No source gives the commission rate or the number of creators.
Weekly subscriptions with a trial
The weekly plan at US$8.99 has a 3-day free trial, and it costs more per week than the monthly plan costs per month. Short plans with a trial are common in consumer AI apps: the first payment comes soon after the user tries the app.
How it was built
These details come from the seller-entered technology list on TrustMRR (grade C), the App Store page (grade B), and the text and code of the company's web app, which anyone can read in the browser. [1, 3, 7, 4]
- Expo and React Native for the phone app, Tailwind CSS for the design, according to the seller's technology list.
- Supabase holds the accounts and the database, and a Supabase function receives each screenshot and returns the suggested reply.
- The privacy policy names Google's Gemini API as the AI processor, Stripe for payments, RevenueCat for subscriptions, Apple for the store and Vercel for hosting.
- The company says that screenshots are sent encrypted, analysed and discarded, never stored and never used to train a model. Google Play's data label says that no data is collected; Apple's label lists the name and email address.
- Version 5.0.0 of 13 October 2026 rebuilt the app as one screen with no menus, in fifteen languages. The app is 51.6 MB and needs iOS 15.1 or later.
- The web app also includes the creator programme, an account page that exports or deletes a user's data, and terms under Spanish law.

Who tried this before CoupleAI, and why did they fail?
Four companies in the Loot Drop database tried to help people date or stay close to a partner. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.
HowAboutWe
The promiseA dating app where users proposed real date ideas instead of small talk.
Why it diedTinder and OkCupid had simpler, game-like apps. After IAC bought it in 2014, it was merged into Match Group and shut down.
Couple
The promiseA private messaging app for two people in a relationship.
Why it diedWhatsApp and similar free apps already served couples and everyone else, and Couple never found a way to make money from its users.
Dating Ring
The promiseMatchmaking by human matchmakers, combined with online dating.
Why it diedIts costs grew with every client, because people did the work, while Tinder and Bumble served millions with software.
Cuddli
The promiseA dating app for one group of users, people who call themselves geeks.
Why it diedThe niche was too small, and a freemium dating app needs many more users than it attracted before it can pay its costs.
The failed startups come from Loot Drop, a free database of dead startups, retold here in our own words. Loot Drop describes its entries as AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so these cards carry no evidence grade.
What changed
HowAboutWe, Dating Ring and Cuddli each had to build a network: a dating service is useful only when enough other people are on it, and that took money, from nothing at Cuddli to US$22 million at HowAboutWe. Couple tried to replace the chat app itself and lost to WhatsApp. Dating Ring paid people to do the matching, so its costs grew with each client.
CoupleAI needs no network and replaces no chat app. It works on top of the apps that people already use, through screenshots, and a model provider does the writing, so one founder could build it and the costs stay low; TrustMRR shows a profit margin of 90% for the last 30 days. What has not changed is the problem of keeping users. Its verified revenue fell from US$12,237 in March 2026 to US$3,951 in the 30 days to 25 October, and any competitor can build the same product on the same models.
Can one person copy CoupleAI now?
The format, yes. Plan for it to fade.
A single-purpose app that reads a screenshot, applies a fixed instruction and returns a short answer is quick to build, and CoupleAI shows that it can earn about US$12,000 in a good month in a market that larger apps ignore. The same case shows the weak point: revenue fell for six months in a row, and the seller put the app up for sale.
Where it is still open: Other short writing tasks in personal chats in a language with few local apps: replies to family groups, polite refusals, messages to a landlord or a school.
- 1Pick one small, frequent writing task that people do inside other apps, and accept a screenshot as the input.
- 2Write one instruction per mode and keep the answer short, in the user's own language.
- 3Start in a language market that the large apps serve badly, and reach it through creators with referral codes.
- 4Connect RevenueCat and Stripe to a verification site from the start, so that a buyer can see real figures if you sell.
What could go wrong for CoupleAI?
The risks are the mirror image of the causes above.
Falling revenue
Verified revenue rose to US$12,237 in March 2026 and fell in every month after it: US$10,320 in April, US$7,111 in June and US$4,297 in September. The 30 days to 25 October brought US$3,951, 67.7% below March. The MRR fell from US$3,481 on 14 October (whatsthe.app) to US$3,075 on 25 October (TrustMRR).
Seller claims that the records do not support
The whatsthe.app listing text says that the app currently makes around €14,000 to €15,000 a month and asks for about €350,000, while the verified records never passed US$12,237 in a month and the asking price fields say US$100,000 and, on TrustMRR, US$60,000. The seller's figure of more than 300,000 registered users compares with 6,245 active customers counted by whatsthe.app.
Replies the other person does not know about
The web app's questions page asks "Can people tell I didn't write it?" and answers "No, because it doesn't write like an AI". The person on the other side of the chat is not told that a model wrote the message. The terms forbid using the app to harass or impersonate anyone.
Two age ratings and two privacy labels
Apple rates the app 18+ and the terms require users to be 18 or over, but Google Play rates the Android version Everyone. Google Play's data label says that no data is collected, while Apple's label lists the name and email address, and the app receives screenshots of other people's messages.
A product anyone can copy, on rented models
The app depends on Google's Gemini API for every reply and on Apple, Google and Stripe for payments. The same product can be built by anyone with the same models, and the seller writes that the company lacks the team to expand. No source gives the cost of the model calls.
