Mockups, animations and product photoshoots, $5K a month, self-reported in 2024

Mockey AI is a design tool for creating mockups, animations, product photoshoots, and other visuals. Its $5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of April 2024.

What it actually sells

Mockey AI sells AI-powered mockups, animations, product photoshoots, multi-shot visuals, and design tools. Its site says these products help users present their product in one tool.

The platform is for creators, print-on-demand sellers, designers, marketers, and small teams. It helps them generate professional and attractive mockups in just a few clicks.

How it charges

Mockey AI offers a free plan. A flexible subscription unlocks premium features, and paid plans are required for PNG downloads. The site also says users can cancel anytime.

Where customers come from

The site lists integrations with Shopify, Figma, and Etsy. Users can create and publish mockups directly in those services with an integrated plugin.

The Shopify app creates mockups without leaving Shopify. The Figma plugin creates mockups inside a Figma file, and the Etsy app publishes mockups directly to an Etsy Shop with one click.

The mockup library is updated every week based on real-time user demands. The site also reports more than 1 million mockups created so far.

What stands out

AI Preview uploads designs and instantly displays results. Bulk creation downloads multiple mockups from the dashboard, and completed mockups can be exported watermark-free.

The AI tools include mockup creation from a prompt, design generation, sticker creation, and background removal. Mockey AI reports a 4.4 rating on Trustpilot with 40+ reviews and counting.

Where it sits in the data

Mockey AI's $5K a month is higher than 58% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that the buyer would be creators, print-on-demand sellers, designers, marketers, and small teams that need product visuals for presentation or commercial use. Distribution would have to come through search, integrations, communities, and direct outreach to those groups.

The hard part is building reliable generation quality, a usable editing flow, export controls, and integrations that fit existing work. Support load can grow around uploads, commercial licensing, payment issues, and integration problems. Competition would matter in mockup tools and AI design software, while regulation would matter when handling user uploads, commercial content, and generated designs.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

A useful takeaway is to start with a focused visual task and add tools around the workflow. Mockey AI combines mockups, animations, product photoshoots, multi-shot visuals, design tools, and integrations in one product.
