A developer in Bangalore formed a company with an American YouTuber who already had an audience of people who want faceless channels, so customers paid from the first day. Affiliates receive 33% of every payment and brought about a tenth of all revenue, and Meta ads brought more. Nobody could use the product without paying, so no free user consumed paid AI models. Verified revenue reached about US$85,000 a month for six months, and then fell by half.

It put the newest video models, among them ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 from 14 April 2026, inside a storyboard editor that keeps characters consistent. Revenue grew from US$645 in May 2026 to US$32,697 in July. Then it fell by three quarters by September, and no source says why.

It does one job that golfers otherwise do by hand: drawing the ball's flight on a video. The ball detection runs on the phone, so each video costs the company nothing to process. The founder released 25 versions from February to October 2026, and the finished video is made to be posted on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.

The video models themselves are rented from fal.ai, a service that runs other companies' AI models behind one programming interface, so the app is mostly a simple screen, a style list and a payment wall around those models. One codebase in React Native serves both phone platforms, and the developer shipped 22 versions on iOS between January and August 2026. The developer runs a portfolio of more than a dozen AI apps, so the store accounts and the methods are shared.

Editing a spoken video is mostly repetitive work: finding the pauses, cutting retakes and typing captions. BlitzCut does these steps automatically on the phone where the video was recorded. One developer ships often: the App Store shows 25 versions from 28 March to 6 October 2026, and the developer answers user reviews personally.

It serves one narrow need: a founder who is about to launch a product and has no launch video. The About page says a motion design studio costs US$3,000 to US$10,000 for such a video; Motionfly sells plans from US$29 a month. Stripe data shows three months at or just above US$2,000 of revenue from June to August 2026, then a fall.

It began as a tool for product launch videos, which a customer needs once. The founder saw customers use it for social videos, which they need every week, and built a second product for that use from the same code. Free tools that rank on Google and his audience on X brought the customers. Credits priced per second kept the price of each video above the cost of the model that made it.

The builder made a product that worked, with a flexible editor, but did almost no marketing and ran out of savings. A buyer who knew paid advertising bought it on Acquire.com, posted content every day on new Instagram and TikTok accounts for six months and ran Meta ads every day. According to Acquire.com's blog, that took the business from US$800 to US$32,000 in monthly recurring revenue, and then he sold it.

Every software company wants a 30-second video on its landing page, and the choices were a slow and expensive studio, a template tool that looks generic, or recording oneself. The founder knew the studio side: he wrote that he ran an animation studio for ten years, working with thousands of clients. He built a tool that does the studio's steps from one prompt. He wrote in February 2026 that Lunair reached US$100,000+ ARR and 5,000+ creators within two months.

Churches with members from many countries meet every week, and the older solutions cost too much for most of them: an interpreter for each language, or radio receivers to hand out and collect. Glossa charges US$5 for one hour of speech in one language, counts by the minute, and charges nothing for silence, songs or extra listeners, so a small church can start with four free hours and then a few dollars a week. The product is shaped for this one buyer: captions go into ProPresenter and OBS, which churches already run, and a church can fix how names, Bible quotations and its own terms are translated. A very small team can offer this because the speech recognition and the voices are rented from model companies and paid by use.

It appeared in January 2023 inside Google Slides, a program where people already work, when writing slides from one sentence was new, and users showed it to each other without paid advertising. A blog about presentation topics then brought about 80% of new users from Google search, by the founder's account. Both channels weakened: search traffic fell, and Google added the same function to Slides. The verified total is real, and so is the fall: monthly revenue fell by half between February and July 2026.

One co-founder, Paul Vengeons, had worked as an SEO consultant in France since 2020 and had more than 10,000 followers on X, and the agents follow his method. The answers come from the customer's own Search Console data, the price is a fraction of Semrush or an agency, and the co-founders post free SEO guides every day that send readers to a 7-day free trial.

It reached people inside the chat app that they already open all day, so capturing an idea on a phone took one voice note. It aimed first at Notion users, whom the company told that ideas get lost on the phone. Ads on Facebook and Google then paid for fast growth in early 2026, until the founder stopped them in August 2026 because the costs were larger than the revenue.
