Reason
Large, profitable and growing about 65% a year, but launched only in February 2024, too young to rate as a purchase.

Why it's interesting

  • 17,100 active paid subscriptions and a 4.7/5 rating, built on a library of 2,800+ templates across 120+ planning and wellness categories.
  • Revenue grew 65% over the last year, and the broker says users arrive organically rather than through paid ads.
  • A 46% margin on $729K of revenue leaves room to spend on marketing without losing money.

What to watch

  • Last month brought in $46K, well below the roughly $61K monthly average implied by the 12-month revenue, which suggests growth has slowed or the business is seasonal.
  • Much of the recent growth may trace to the Google Play award, a boost that may not repeat.
  • The profit figure is an adjusted one, and the listing gives a team of 2-20 and India as the country without saying who runs product and templates or whether they stay.

Who it fits

A buyer with mobile subscription experience who can manage a remote development team and app store marketing, with over $1M to deploy.

Ask the seller

  1. Why was last month's revenue of $46K well below the 12-month average, and which months are strongest?
  2. What share of subscribers and revenue comes from Android versus iOS, and how did sign-ups change after the Google Play award?
  3. What costs are added back to reach the adjusted profit, and which team members would stay after a sale?

Growth plays

  • Run a late-December push on annual plans around New Year goal-setting, when demand for planners and habit trackers peaks.
  • Pay productivity creators on YouTube and TikTok to film 'plan with me' setups using the app's templates.
  • Translate the template library for the largest non-English markets in the user base, since templates are content rather than new features.

Acumen Wire labels

Every business here gets one label: the reason it made the list. Listings that fit none are left out.

Solid Business, Fair Price
Established (5+ years), profitable (20%+ margin), steady, and fairly priced. A serious candidate to buy.
Solid Business, High Price
Meets the same quality bar, but the asking price is hard to justify.
Worth Studying
An interesting model or growth story, or a larger business that doesn't meet the Solid bar. Better to learn from than to buy.
Small Growth Play
A small working business ($25K+ revenue, $10K+ profit) that a skilled marketer could grow.
