#1. Genz Productivity App (💸 $188K TTM revenue)

💰 Asking Price: $650,000

App for helping GenZ track productivity & healthy habits (App of the Day)

Type: Mobile App

✅ Key Highlights

• $162,275 in TTM profit

• $13,898 in revenue last month

• $11,118 in profit last month

🚩 Cons

• Free tier: Monthly and annual subscription fees may be a barrier to entry for some users who are not willing to pay for an app to track their productivity and healthy habits - should look into adding a free tier.

🚀 Growth Opportunities

• Influencer marketing: Leverage TikTok and micro influencers to hop on trends and create content for the app on how beneficial it is to their lives. TikTok already has a tremendous amount of content around productivity so this app would be perfect for the platform.

• Build a referral program: With no referral program and over 87,000 users, it seems like a missed opportunity. Provide a way to incentivise users to refer the app to friends and family.
