Marc Lou answers the "you can't vibe-code a real business" crowd with numbers: MailCheap, a newsletter service priced up to 83% below beehiiv/Mailchimp/Ghost, went from $0 to $1K MRR in 10 days and about $2,031 MRR (+58.4% WoW) six days later, from $19/mo with pay-per-send pricing.
The site claims the whole operation can be run by AI agents, and showcases weekly verified-revenue winners: Tesla app Camzy at $3K/mo, ChateasyAI at $5,310 in 30 days, and Premiere Pro plugin WeddX up 1,906% to $12K.
