6 Messaging App Business Success Stories [2023]
Here are some real life success stories of starting a messaging app business:
1. Porterhouse ($24K/year)
Suan Yeo (from Seattle, WA, USA) started Porterhouse over 4 years ago.
Hi! I’m Suan, Co-Founder of Porterhouse. Porterhouse is a mass-texting service that lets you text large groups from your cellphone number with a single click. After about 1.5 years in business, Porterhouse brings in $2,400 in monthly revenue.
What makes Porterhouse different from other mass-texting services is that we send authentic blue iMessages to iOS recipients instead of green SMS, and texts come from your cell phone number instead of a different provided number.
