## AI Math Helper iOS App Mobile app Native iOS app that lets students snap a photo of any math problem and get instant AI step-by-step solutions Published on March 13, 2026 ### $1,000 Asking Price ##### Main Metrics ##### $159 ARR ##### 3,890 Customers ##### 2024 Launched ### Overview **Startup description** My project is a native iOS & iPadOS education app that solves any math problem from a photo. Students point their camera at a handwritten or printed equation and receive instant AI-powered step-by-step solutions. Launched in October 2024, the app has accumulated 3,890 downloads with 96.3% coming from pure organic App Store Search — with zero paid marketing ever spent. It is localized in 10 languages (English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, and Korean), making it globally ready from day one. **Key highlights** - 259K App Store impressions (+21.9% growth) - 3,890 total downloads (+7,670% growth trend) - 96.3% of downloads from organic App Store Search — exceptional keyword positioning - $2.94 average revenue per paying user - 2.6 sessions per active device (strong daily engagement) - 5.0★ App Store rating - 10 language localizations — no localization work needed for a buyer - Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac (M1+), and Apple Vision Pro - Zero paid acquisition — ever. **Team** Solo-built and operated by one indie developer. Fully autonomous — no support staff, no manual operations. A buyer takes over a complete, self-running asset from day one. **Tech Stack** - Swift / SwiftUI — native iOS/iPadOS frontend - StoreKit — subscriptions and one-time IAP management - Vision framework — camera-based math problem scanning - REST APIs — AI math solving engine - Firebase — analytics and crash reporting - Apple App Store — sole distribution channel **Marketing & growth** Every single download came organically — 96.3% via App Store Search, 1.9% App Store Browse. No influencer campaigns, no paid ads, no social media. The app ranks purely on keyword strength for terms. This means a buyer inherits an already-proven SEO foundation with every paid channel completely untapped. **Revenue & profit** - Total proceeds: $159 (Apple net, after 30% cut) - Gross revenue (pre-Apple cut): ~$227 - ARPU: $2.94 per paying user - Pricing tiers: Monthly $9.99 · Yearly $11.99–$14.99 · Lifetime $5.99–$24.99 - Margins: ~85%+ (minimal COGS — API costs only) - MRR estimate: ~$20–30/month current, with clear upside **Return on investment** This app is priced as an early-stage asset with massive growth potential still locked inside it. A buyer running Apple Search Ads on "math solver" and "photo math" — keywords this app already ranks for organically — could scale downloads rapidly. The 10-language localization means Spanish (Mexico, Chile, Colombia already in top 5 markets!), Russian, and French campaigns can launch immediately with zero additional setup. Payback estimate: 12–18 months with active marketing. **Assets included** - Full Xcode source code (Swift/SwiftUI) - App Store Connect listing — 3,890 downloads, 5.0★, keyword rankings - All creative assets — icons, screenshots, App Store metadata - Firebase project + full analytics history - Version history v1.0 → v1.9 (actively maintained to Jan 2026) - 30 days post-sale support **Risks** - Low current revenue: The app is early-stage with modest proceeds. Mitigation: the growth signals (259K impressions, +21.9%, organic keyword dominance) show strong product-market fit — revenue follows marketing investment. - API dependency: AI math solving relies on third-party APIs. Mitigation: providers are commoditized and easily swappable. - Accuracy: One review flagged wrong answers. Mitigation: upgrading the underlying AI API or adding a verification layer resolves this entirely. **Summary** My project is a live, fully built iOS education app sitting in one of the most evergreen niches imaginable — students always need math help. It has 259K impressions, organic keyword dominance (96.3% search-driven downloads), 10 language localizations, and has never spent a dollar on marketing. A buyer with any paid acquisition budget, YouTube/TikTok presence in education, or an existing app portfolio can unlock significant revenue from day one. This is a rare chance to acquire a turnkey asset in a billion-dollar category at an early-stage price. ✅ $159 in Annual revenue ✅ 3,890 customers ✅ Business model: IAP ✅ Built with SwiftUI, RevenueCat, Firebase #### $159 Annual Revenue #### 3,890 Number of Customers ### Expenses Gemini API costs: $5. ### Business Model Freemium iOS app monetized through 8 IAP tiers — monthly, yearly, and lifetime one-time purchases. 100% passive via Apple StoreKit. ~85% margins. #### Target Audience Students aged 12–22 solving homework and exam prep. Top markets already proven: USA, Mexico, Russia, Chile, Colombia — Spanish and Russian localizations are already live and converting. #### Asking Price Reasoning Priced as an asset acquisition reflecting the fully built codebase, 10-language localization (normally $5,000–$10,000 to build), established App Store keyword rankings, 3,890 downloads, and 5.0★ rating — all with zero paid marketing ever spent. #### Reason for Selling Solo developer managing a large app portfolio. This app deserves a dedicated owner who can invest in marketing — particularly paid acquisition and social media — which I'm unable to prioritize across multiple products. ### Growth Opportunity Apple Search Ads (untapped), TikTok/YouTube education creators, Android launch (zero Google Play presence), and Spanish/Russian paid campaigns using existing localizations already proven by organic download geography. ### 30 days free support from seller Premium members will receive 30 days of free post-sale support from our sellers. ### Competitors Photomath, Mathway, Wolfram Alpha. ### Tech Stack SwiftUI, RevenueCat, Firebase, Gemini API. ## Traffic Metrics ## Revenue Metrics ## How it works ### $1,000 Asking Price ##### Founder Details ### Profitable startups straight to your inbox Join 10,000+ entrepreneurs and investors looking for their next startup acquisition opportunity.
