AI-Built SaaS Clone of Expensive Enterprise Software
Use vibe coding and AI to build clones of expensive enterprise software like AppFolio (property management) or Salesforce (CRM) and charge 90-99% less. For example, clone AppFolio which charges $5/door/month ($2,300/month for large landlords) and offer unlimited units for $23/month. Use BuiltWith to scrape competitor customer lists, then cold-email them offering the cheaper alternative.
