One Prompt to Copy a Business That Already Makes Money
The hardest part of building is not the building. It is knowing whether anyone will pay. This play deletes that question. TrustMRR shows you businesses with Stripe-verified revenue, and Blink turns one prompt into a cheaper, more focused competitor. You are not guessing what works. You are competing with what already does.
Step 1: Find a Stripe-verified target on TrustMRR
Go to trustmrr.com and sort by revenue. The numbers on that leaderboard are verified through Stripe, so you are not looking at claims or screenshots. You are looking at proof that real people pay for this exact thing. Skip the giants at the top. The sweet spot is the boring tool doing a few thousand a month: simple enough to rebuild, proven enough to matter.

Write this once. Every bracket in the Step 4 prompt comes straight from these notes. Be ruthless about the niche line: narrower beats broader, and a focused version of a general tool is the easiest wedge into a market someone else already proved.
Target: [COMPETITOR]
Category: [CATEGORY]
What it does: [WHAT THEY DO]
Who pays: [WHO PAYS]
Their price: [THEIR PRICE]
My niche or twist: [NICHE]
My app name: [MY APP NAME]
My price, under theirs: [MY PRICE]
Keywords buyers search: [KEYWORDS]Step 3: Open Blink
Open blink.new. It is free to start, and it takes the entire build prompt in one paste: signup, dashboard, Stripe billing, and the whole SEO layer come out of a single message. Do not build piece by piece. The prompt below ships the whole thing at once.
blink.newStep 4: Paste the build prompt and fill every bracket
This prompt is the whole machine. It does not just build the product, it builds the distribution: an alternative page, a vs page, programmatic keyword landers, schema markup. Ranking for '[COMPETITOR] alternative' puts you in front of people who already want the product and already hate the price. Fill every bracket from your Step 2 cheat sheet, then run it.
Build a full-stack, production-ready web app that is a cheaper, more focused competitor to [COMPETITOR].
Core product: it does [WHAT THEY DO], but built specifically for [NICHE] and priced lower.
App basics: signup and login, a clean dashboard for the core feature, and Stripe billing with a free tier plus a paid tier at [MY PRICE], under [COMPETITOR]'s price.
Make it SEO-dominant from day one:
- Server-render every public page, clean semantic HTML, one H1 per page.
- Unique meta title, meta description, Open Graph and Twitter card tags on every page.
- schema.org markup: SoftwareApplication, Product with price, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList.
- Auto-generate sitemap.xml and robots.txt.
- Programmatic SEO: for each keyword in this list, generate a landing page at /[keyword] with unique copy and the keyword in the title and H1: [KEYWORDS]
- Pre-build these pages now: a '[COMPETITOR] alternative' page, a 'best [CATEGORY] for [NICHE]' page, and a '[MY APP NAME] vs [COMPETITOR]' comparison page.
- Add a /blog with an SEO article template.
- Mobile-first and fast, target green Core Web Vitals.
Brackets to fill before running: [COMPETITOR], [WHAT THEY DO], [NICHE], [MY PRICE], [KEYWORDS], [CATEGORY], [MY APP NAME].Step 5: Price under them, ship, repeat
Your structural edge on day one is price. Launch under the competitor, keep the free tier so trying you costs nothing, and let the SEO pages compound while you sleep. Then go back to TrustMRR, pick the next target, and run it again. The play is repeatable by design.
The line you do not cross
Build your version. Compete on the idea, never on the identity. Their name, their logo, their copy, their design: all off limits. Competing with an existing product is how most software gets made. Imitating its identity is how you get a legal letter. A cheaper, better competitor is the whole game.
