This simple app makes $700k/month

January 24, 2026

Hey there,

Six months into building advanced analytics, custom dashboards, and gamification systems-features nobody asked for…

Meanwhile, there's an app called Deep Search making $700,000 per month.

It has 20 screens total, 4 onboarding screens. That’s it.

The app is embarrassingly simple. It's literally just a wrapper around ChatGPT and Perplexity.

You can do the exact same search on Perplexity for free in 2 seconds.

But Deep Search packages it differently and charges for it.

And it's crushing.

They're running 700+ active paid ads right now, all of them profitable.
No one runs 700 ads if they're not making money.

While you're adding your 47th feature, simple apps are launching, scaling, and printing.

Deep Search is winning because of execution. Their formula:

  • simple product

  • strong marketing

  • clean positioning

Most founders think more features = more revenue. But that’s wrong.

More features = more time wasted before launch = more opportunities missed.

The market doesn't reward complexity. It rewards solving a problem fast and marketing it well.

Stop adding features and start launching.

Peace,
Steven
