I don't get how this company makes money. Everyone who uses these tools is just building prototypes. They get to 60-70% functionality, but when it comes to actually productionize and launch, 99% of these projects will get abandoned. The churn has to be absurdly high, maybe people are just forgetting to cancel their subscriptions. Or they're just marketing very hard and getting new sign ups/subscriptions, but will crash and burn soon enough.

I noticed in the example product the person was bragging they made "$1.6k in 5 weeks" but looking at the screenshot they were selling "lifetime access" built on this product they pay $25 a month for. I think there is going to be a reckoning for all these fly-by-night SaaSlings and the poor people who start to rely on them.
