Core Features

What dLayit Does

Six integrated tools that work together to permanently change spending behaviour — not just track it.

Purchase Intervention

User types a purchase (e.g. "AirPods $350"). dLayit instantly shows: hours of work it costs, goal delay in weeks, 10-year investment value if skipped. One tap: Invest Instead.

Core Feature
📸

Price Scanner

Camera scans any product barcode or label. AI returns lowest current price online, price history, and whether it's worth buying now — all before checkout.

Pro Feature
📋

Bill Negotiation Engine

AI generates custom negotiation scripts for cable, internet, insurance, and subscriptions. User follows the script, saves money. dLayit earns a 15% success fee on the first year of savings.

Revenue Driver
💬

Live AI Financial Coach

Claude-powered chat that answers any financial question with personalised context: net worth, spending history, and goals. Available 24/7 with no judgment.

Pro Feature
📈

Invest Instead Engine

Every purchase intervention shows the 10-year compound value of investing the money. One tap redirects that amount to the user's linked investment account or savings goal.

Core Feature
🔔

Spending Alerts & Goals

Customisable real-time alerts for category overspend. Goal tracker shows progress visually. Weekly AI summary of wins and areas to improve — keeps users engaged.

Retention Driver
🏆

Wins & Social Sharing

Users share financial wins with one tap — goal progress, monthly savings, impulse buys blocked, or streak days. All shares show percentages only, never dollar amounts. Every card is branded dLayit. Uses device's native share menu (iOS & Android).

Sales Strategy

Sales Goals

dLayit is a B2C product with a B2B layer. Sales goals span both consumer conversion and enterprise/partnership channels.

🎯

Year 1 — User Acquisition & Conversion

Launch → 10,000 active users → 1,000 paying subscribers
  • 10,000 free downloads within the first 6 months via App Store / Google Play and direct web install.
  • 10% free-to-Pro conversion rate — industry benchmark is 2–5%; dLayit targets above-average due to the direct, visible ROI of the product.
  • $9.99/month Pro plan as the primary revenue driver; push users toward the annual plan ($89/year) for higher LTV and lower churn.
  • Bill negotiation activation — target 30% of users engaging the bill negotiation feature within their first 30 days. Each negotiated bill is a direct revenue event (15% success fee).
  • 30-day retention target: 55%. Users who complete 3+ purchase interventions in week 1 retain at significantly higher rates — onboarding should prioritise this action.
🤝

Year 1–2 — B2B & Partnership Sales

Employer wellness programs · Financial institutions · Credit unions
  • 5 employer/HR partnerships by end of Year 1. Employers license dLayit as an employee financial wellness benefit. Target: $2–$5 per employee per month.
  • 3 credit union or challenger bank integrations where dLayit is offered as a white-label tool to their members — generating per-seat licensing revenue.
  • Referral partner programme — financial influencers, money coaches, and debt counsellors earn 20% of referred Pro revenue for 12 months.
  • Average deal size target: $18,000/year for employer accounts (100 employees × $15/month × 12 months). Close 5 deals = $90K ARR from the B2B channel alone.
📊

Year 2 — Scale

50,000 users · $500K ARR · Break-even
  • 50,000 total installs, 5,000 paying Pro users, 25 employer partnerships.
  • Bill negotiation revenue target: $120K/year — based on 2,000 active bill negotiation users saving an average of $400/year each, generating $60/user in success fees.
  • Annual plan penetration: 40% of paying subscribers on annual billing by end of Year 2 to reduce monthly churn exposure.
  • Net Promoter Score (NPS) target: 60+. Referral is the lowest-cost acquisition channel for consumer fintech — the product must earn it.
Marketing Strategy

Marketing Goals

Zero paid advertising in Year 1. All growth through content, community, and earned media — because the product story sells itself.

📱

Organic Social — TikTok & Reels

Primary acquisition channel in Year 1
  • Post 5x per week on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Content format: "I almost bought X — here's what dLayit told me." Real interceptions, real numbers, real emotion.
  • Goal: 1 viral video per month (500K+ views). Personal finance "shock" content performs extremely well — the opportunity cost reveal is the hook.
  • 10,000 TikTok followers by Month 3, 50,000 by Month 6. Linked directly to download spikes.
  • Creator partnerships: identify 20 micro-influencers (50K–500K followers) in personal finance/frugal living. Offer free Pro + affiliate commission. No upfront payment.
🔍

SEO & App Store Optimisation

Long-term free traffic foundation
  • Target keywords: "stop impulse buying app", "AI budgeting app", "how to stop spending money", "bill negotiation app". Low competition, high intent.
  • Publish 2 blog posts per week targeting long-tail finance queries. Each post includes a dLayit scenario — "How dLayit would analyse this purchase." Goal: 20K organic visits/month by Month 6.
  • App Store goal: 4.5+ star rating, 500+ reviews by Month 6. ASO keywords: "AI finance", "spending coach", "money intervention". Optimise screenshots to show the intervention UI immediately.
  • Featured by Apple / Google: apply for "Apps We Love" and "Editors' Choice" within Month 2. A single feature can deliver 10,000+ downloads in a week.
🗞️

PR & Earned Media

Credibility + mass reach without ad spend
  • Pitch to 5 tier-1 publications in Month 1: TechCrunch, Fast Company, Business Insider, The Hustle, Morning Brew. Hook: "The app that argues with you before you buy."
  • Data story: collect anonymised aggregate stats on purchases intercepted, dollars saved, and amounts invested. Publish quarterly. Journalists run these stories without prompting.
  • Podcast tour: target personal finance and fintech podcasts with 50K–500K listeners. Offer host a free lifetime Pro account. Goal: 2 podcast appearances per month.
  • Reddit strategy: participate authentically in r/personalfinance, r/frugal, r/financialindependence. No spam. Share real scenarios. Let community members discover and recommend the app organically.
📧

Email & Lifecycle Marketing

Convert, retain, and upsell through smart automation
  • Welcome sequence (7 emails over 14 days): each email highlights one feature with a real user story. Goal: drive the user to their first 3 purchase interventions in Day 1–7.
  • Win-back campaign for users inactive for 14+ days: personalised re-engagement showing what they would have saved if they'd used dLayit that week.
  • Monthly "Money Saved" report sent to every user — showing total interventions, dollars saved, and investment growth. This is the highest-retention touchpoint. Goal: 45%+ open rate.
  • Upsell sequence for free users who have completed 5+ interventions: show the Pro features they're missing (price scanner, AI coach, bill negotiation). Target 15% conversion within 30 days of trigger.

💡

Why No Ads?

dLayit's core value proposition is fighting bad spending. Showing ads would directly contradict that. No ad revenue — ever. User trust is the asset.

🔗

Aligned Revenue

Every revenue stream is tied to user success. Bill negotiation fees only trigger when users save money. Affiliate fees only trigger when users invest. We win when they win.

📊

Unit Economics

CAC target: under $5 (organic-first). LTV of annual Pro: $178 (2-year avg). LTV:CAC ratio target: 35:1. Break-even projected at Month 14.
