I cloned a Chrome extension with 200k users and hit $1.8k/month.

Tool

none

Issue

Users need a unified interface to access and manage multiple AI models (ChatGPT, etc.) that release weekly without paying separate subscriptions for each, but existing solutions with 200k users are overcomplicated.

Cost

$1800/month (OP's revenue from solving this)

Recommendation

none

Date context

Weekly model releases (contemporary AI landscape as of 2025-10)

Body

[ChatGPT runied my text so I paste the raw one here] I couldn't keep up with all the models that comes everyweek, so I went to see if there's any tool I can use to pay once and use all the models for different tasks I do, I found one with 200k users, I got disappointed at first but I realized I can build a simpler version so I did And last month this tool I made hit $1.8k/month, before I was always tried to be unique and find untouched markets but I learned that I can just take a fraction of someone else's proved demand. So don't let that 200k competitor disappoint you, it should actually do the opposite That's it

Why do people on this sub talk like every other grifting guru on Twitter? No offense to you everything you talked about seems logical to me but the style is so repetitive and boring.

Exactly. They have already validated market demand for the product for you. Too many folks think they have to have a 100% original idea before they can start a business.

I’m on mobile and maybe didn’t see the whole package, but how are you generating revenue from this? Is it a paid service?

With that revenue, what’s your profit?

How did you differentiate yourself from the competitor?
