Monitorprices

Project Overview

The creator has developed approximately 20 mobile apps for the KaiOS ecosystem, generating $500-$750 monthly in revenue. Alongside this, they operate MonitorPrices.org, a monitor listing website on Amazon that earns around $125 monthly, potentially doubling during creator reward campaigns.

Technical Implementation

KaiOS development leverages HTML/JavaScript, with the creator using Vue and developing a custom component library for reusable code across applications. The ecosystem was chosen not for massive returns, but for its relatively less competitive landscape compared to iOS and Android platforms.

Market Insights

The KaiOS ecosystem offers a unique opportunity for developers, where good apps can perform well without requiring extensive polishing or aggressive marketing. The platform’s simplicity (being HTML/JavaScript based) allows for relatively quick app development and deployment.

Motivation and Approach

While acknowledging the projects aren’t “splashy or exciting”, the creator finds motivation in consistently exploring and building small, sustainable digital products that generate incremental income across different platforms.
