🚀 I Built an AI App That Evaluates Hair Transplants and People Are Paying for It

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I'm a solo developer and recently launched two laser-focused iOS apps under the Hair Transplant AI brand. In just weeks, I’ve started seeing traction and revenue without ads or clinic partnerships.

👨‍⚕️ The Problem
Hair transplant patients spend $2,000–$10,000+ on the procedure. But afterward, most are left wondering:

• Was it a good transplant?

• Did I get the right graft count?

• How do I compare to others?

• What should I do next?

There was no fast, private, affordable way to get answers.

📱 The Solution: 2 Niche AI-Powered iOS Apps
1️⃣ Hair Transplant AI Success
💡 "Did my transplant work?"
App store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hair-transplant-ai-success/id6740501667?platform=iphone

Users snap a photo of their scalp after surgery. The app instantly delivers:

✅ Success score (0–10)
✅ Graft count estimation
✅ AI-written evaluation & insights
✅ Personalized post-op recommendations

💰 The most valuable results are blurred behind a $2.99 paywall — and surprisingly, many users convert.

2️⃣ Hair Transplant AI Cost Expert
💡 "How much will a transplant cost me?"
App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hair-transplant-ai-cost-expert/id6743370768?platform=iphone

This app helps people before they get a transplant by estimating:

📸 Grafts needed (via image)
🌍 Country-specific cost ranges
📝 Clinic-style consultation report

🧠 Why I think It Will Work
🎯 Hyper-niche: Transplants are a $6B+ industry. People are deeply invested — financially and emotionally.

📱 Mobile-first: No need to send photos to strangers on WhatsApp or wait days for clinic replies.

💸 Low friction pricing: $2.99 one-time feels tiny after spending thousands on surgery.

🤖 AI-powered, private & fast

🔧 Tech Stack
Flutter (iOS only for now)
Firebase for backend/auth
