after Apple takes their cuts profit margins are really over 90% Because there wasn't really much we're spending money on So every month we only spend like 1 to maybe 2K on infrastructure cost These apps barely cost anything to run

Keep Infrastructure Costs Under Two Thousand Dollars Monthly to Print Profit

With Social Wizard generating up to $60,000 a month at its peak, Kishi kept server, database, and infrastructure costs to $1,000–$2,000 per month. The only real cost center was creator marketing, which he treated as a performance channel with measurable ROI. This margin structure meant cash compounded fast without outside funding.
