Mobbin
👤 Jiho Lim (with Jovin Liew, Jian Jie Liau) (A freelance UI designer who screenshotted apps himself, then launched through design influencers' own audiences.)🌐 sitejiholim.com𝕏LinkedIn
Designers used to download apps, screenshot, delete, repeat. Mobbin turned that grind into a searchable paid library.

Hand-tagged moat. But upkeep never stops: every new app version demands fresh captures, and Figma or an AI scraper could bundle the same reference for free tomorrow.

Starter Story: how Lim Jiho built Mobbin - founder story, model, bootstrappedLatka: Mobbin revenue (estimate) - $1.6M ARR 2024, labeled an estimate, not founder-statedCrunchbase: Mobbin - no funding rounds recorded (bootstrapped)jiholim.com - founder Jiho Lim personal siteMobbin pricing - subscription tiers and library size
Revenue ($1.6M ARR, 2024) is a Latka THIRD-PARTY ESTIMATE - Latka's own page states it never interviewed management, so it is unverified; Mobbin has not disclosed revenue first-party. Bootstrapped/no funding (Crunchbase), 1M+ designers, 1,000+ apps with hundreds of thousands of screens and 140K+ flows, and roughly $20-40 per seat (annual billing) are from Mobbin, Starter Story and Vendr. The 'tedium is the moat' framing and the AI-commoditization death case are [our read], not founder statements. We never score you.
