Organic Instagram/TikTok videos showing real millimeter readouts → DM outreach to aesthetic clinics and eyewear studios → $99/mo professional tier, $9.99/mo consumer tier.
Key risks
- iPhone-only TrueDepth sensor dependency cuts ~53% of the US market (Android) from day one with no clear path to parity.
- Professional buyers (surgeons, orthodontists) require clinical validation and accuracy studies before trusting a phone app for patient-facing measurements - sales cycle is long and skeptical.
- Consumer churn is brutal: users measure their face once, satisfy curiosity, and cancel - making LTV too short to justify paid acquisition without a compelling ongoing use case (e.g., tracking changes post-surgery or weight loss).
