Skinive AI skin scanner, $11K a month, self-reported: 5 years

Skinive sells AI tools for checking skin concerns, tracking changes, and supporting clinical workflows. Its $11K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of February 2025.

What it actually sells

Skinive sells an “AI skin checker, mole checker & skin health app.” It checks visible skin concerns, moles, rashes, acne, eczema, and 55+ other skin conditions, and lets users perform regular, structured skin self-checks while monitoring visible changes over time.

For clinical use, Skinive offers 3D full-body mole mapping for documenting lesions and tracking changes. Its clinical software supports more consistent skin assessments and more efficient clinical workflows, with real-time AI camera guidance for clear, properly framed images.

Where it sits in the data

Skinive's $11K a month is higher than 69% 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?

In my view, the demand would come from individuals checking visible skin concerns, healthcare professionals assessing skin, primary-care clinicians supporting clinical workflows, and developers embedding skin analysis in applications. Distribution would need to reach both consumer audiences and professional or developer channels.

Building the product would involve image capture, skin analysis, tracking, clinical workflow features, accuracy reporting, and support for different users. Regulation, clinical evidence, data handling, accuracy expectations, and support load would make this a substantial undertaking. Competition would matter across consumer skin apps, clinical tools, and developer integrations.

Verdict: Hard to replicate.

One thing to take from it

Skinive’s clearest product lesson is the combination of consumer self-checks, mole tracking, clinical documentation, and developer integration in one skin-health offering.
