AI marketing for indie app developers
You wrote the code, designed the icon and answered the one-star review at midnight. The app is good, and the hard part is getting people to find it. Flo drafts the posts, guides and update notes in your voice, so your users hear from the person who built it.
Indie apps win on personality and care. Users like knowing a real developer is behind the app, and they tell friends when that developer listens.
The developer behind the app, visible.
A good app, lost among millions
Launch week brings a few hundred downloads and some kind reviews, then the curve flattens. Indie developers who keep sharing updates and helping users stay in view of the people who already rely on the app. The ones who go quiet get buried.
Buried In The Store
Search results you cannot control.
Coding Or Marketing

Users Drift Away

Other software and startup businesses we set up differently
An app studio and an app publisher run different setups, so they do not get this page.
Marketing by company size
The same platform, framed by how many products, brands or portfolio companies you run, not by what the software does.
You have questions. We have answers.
The five that come up before an indie app developer signs.
I am not a marketer. Where do I start?
With one thing you already do: shipping updates. Each release becomes a short post and a note to users, so every update gets told to the people who use it.
How should I answer bad reviews?
Calmly and specifically. Thank them, say what you are fixing or explain the choice, and invite them to write to you. Other users read the reply.
Is TikTok worth it for an app?
For consumer apps it can be. A short clip of the app solving a real problem, shot on your phone, is often enough.
Should I build an email list?
Yes. Users who opted in are the ones you can reach when a big update ships, without depending on the store.
What does it cost?
MoMail is $79/mo and MoReviews $99/mo. MoSocial and MoBlogs are $149/mo each, and all four together are $299/mo, free for a week and no contract. An indie developer can begin with MoSocial alone and add the rest when downloads justify it.
