That sounds a tad bit less (even assuming 250K, to account for "more than") considering it includes salaries for >2 app developers, hardware/AWS costs and marketing costs which seem to include Google and Facebook ads. What am I missing here?

- tristanj 11y agoLooking at their android app store page, Multi Brians LLC has built over a dozen Uber clones https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5923513214207758667 https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=592351321420775866... . The UI is very similar between the apps and I assume the backend is shared so there's not much dev cost for an additional app.
