Case Study: a US entrepreneur builds a donation-based social network with live streaming and subscriptions with Cleveroad

US Entrepreneur launches donation-based iOS social app with Cleveroad, reducing time-to-market

A US entrepreneur sought to develop a new revenue stream by creating a successful social media presence. Their challenge was to build an Instagram-like iOS app from scratch with real-time video streaming and donation features, alongside a comprehensive web-based admin panel for management and analytics. They partnered with the software development vendor Cleveroad to create this subscription-based platform.

Cleveroad developed a custom iOS application and web admin panel, integrating live video streaming using Socket.io and a donation system with a badge feature. The solution included subscription management via Stripe for recurring payments. The results included a fully functional app launched on the App Store, which helped attract a target audience and increase user retention. Cleveroad's work enabled a steady income stream through the subscription model and provided the customer with effective tools for user and content management.
