Built QuickMock for fun. Now it’s picking up steam… but so are the costs. Monetize or fund it?

Hey everyone 👋

A little while ago I launched QuickMock (https://QuickMock.replit.app), a tool that lets anyone generate mock websites instantly with AI — no coding needed. It started as a fun side project, just to test an idea.

Since then, it’s picked up more traction than I expected. People love it. Designers, makers, small business owners — they’re using it to jumpstart their sites, land clients, or just test concepts.

Right now, users can generate 2 websites for free, then pay just $5 to keep using it. But truth is, the AI costs are stacking up quicker than the revenue and I really want to keep things accessible while I improve and scale it.

So here’s where I could use your help:

If you’ve been through this stage before, I’d love your advice.

If you know someone who could help boost or back it, I’m open to small angel support ($1–5k).

Or if you just want to share it with your audience, I’d be grateful. 🙏

Trying to move fast, stay lean, and make this sustainable. Appreciate you reading!
