A studio portrait needs a photographer, a booking and days of waiting. AI SuitUp sold the same result, a photo for LinkedIn or a résumé, for a one-time price from early 2023, with a money-back guarantee on the larger packs. It narrowed the offer to one use, professional headshots, and then built a landing page for almost every profession and a version for company teams. Stripe records US$648,649 of payments in total, but only US$35,743 of it in the last 12 months, so most of the money came in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

It entered a market that already had about ten AI headshot sites, at a lower price, and won customers through Google search and affiliate writers instead of ads. A US$4,000 order from one company showed that team headshots were the better sale. The founders sold in 2025, when a general chat model began to make similar images.

Writers who cannot draw had no fast way to see their story as a comic. TabStory puts several image models behind one comic workflow with storyboards and character consistency, and sells credits by usage. Stripe-verified revenue grew from US$495 in May 2026 to US$12,143 in October 2026.

The demand existed before the app: photos that look as if a compact digital camera from the 2000s took them have been a trend on TikTok since at least 2022. Boothie sells that look without the camera, for a small weekly price, to the people who already post such photos. The founder says every user came from TikTok picture posts made by about a dozen accounts in three countries, with no paid advertising. One person could build it because the image model is rented from Google and paid for by the picture.

It sold one effect that people already wanted on social media, a real-camera look without the "AI face", and it reached buyers through TikTok. The founder's profile says the app had "over 60M views on TikTok" with zero paid ads, and his sale listing says the growth runs on a templated TikTok slideshow format that "scales by adding accounts". Revenue rose for five months and then fell by about two thirds in September 2026.

One-shot text-to-3D generators give a mesh that is hard to edit. 3D-Agent works inside the program that 3D artists already use and builds real Blender objects that they can change. It rents the AI models instead of training its own, sells only paid plans, and limits each plan by prompts and steps, so each prompt has a known maximum cost.

The founder took a twenty-year-old product category with no open-source entry and open-sourced all of it, which gave him millions of Docker downloads and 37,000 GitHub stars without a marketing budget. Revenue stayed small for a year. It multiplied when he turned the product toward people who automate their posting with n8n workflows and, from late 2025, with AI agents, which need an API-first scheduler and keep paying because they post without human effort.

It launched in January 2023 with a name that people were already typing into search engines, and the company wrote that more than 35,000 people used it in its first two weeks. One person then kept adding features, languages and more than 2,000 recipe articles for search, and moved the app from recipe ideas toward calorie tracking, which people pay for every month.

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.

The tutor is an AI model, so the company pays for computing and has no teacher to pay by the hour. That allows a yearly price of US$47.99 to US$79.99. Customers came from a very large number of short videos on TikTok and Instagram: first slideshows that the founder's own tool generated and that two people posted from about 12 accounts, then videos by paid creators. Yearly plans are paid in full on the first day, so the cash arrived early. Half of all revenue came in September 2026, and daily sales have fallen since.

It launched in June 2023 as a generator of artistic QR codes made with Stable Diffusion and ControlNet, at a time when no large QR code company offered them. The art brought the first users; the company then added the plain QR code types, link tools and analytics that businesses search for, and built hundreds of pages that rank in Google for each type.

Ayush Chaturvedi said in a Starter Story interview published in January 2026 that the app made US$150,000 a year, and that growth came in two phases: posts in Reddit communities first, then pages that rank in Google. The first version came out in June 2022, months before ChatGPT, as a writing helper that worked inside every Mac app. When chat apps became free, the founders moved the product toward answering from the user's own documents, a job the general chat apps did not do on the computer.
