"Despite the numerous apps now available that offer vibe coding tools on mobile platforms, none are gaining noticeable downloads, and few are generating any revenue at all. According to an analysis of global app store trends by the app intelligence provider Appfigures, only a small handful of mobile apps offering vibe coding tools have seen any downloads, let alone generated revenue."
"This situation could still change, of course. The market is young, and vibe coding apps continue to improve and work out the bugs. New apps in this space are arriving all the time, too. This year, a startup called Vibecode launched with $9.4 million in seed funding from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six. The company's service allows users to create mobile apps using AI within its own iOS app. Vibecode is so new, Appfigures doesn't yet have data on it."
Many vibe-coding startups have reached billion-dollar valuations, but AI-assisted coding has not gained traction on mobile devices. Available mobile apps offering vibe-coding tools have generated few downloads and minimal revenue. Appfigures identified only a small number of such apps with measurable downloads. Instance: AI App Builder recorded roughly 16,000 downloads and $1,000 in consumer spending, while Vibe Studio logged about 4,000 downloads and no revenue. New entrants like Vibecode raised seed funding to enable app creation inside iOS, but public usage data remains limited. Backend platforms such as RevenueCat now monetize a growing share of AI-built iOS apps.
