📝 About this app
Shiuli: Alt Text that actually gets written.
Most images online never get a description. Not because people don’t care about Accessibility, but because it takes time to look at a photo, think about what matters, and write it down.
Shiuli makes that process easy.
Get a clear alt-text description for any Photo. Simply select the photo, get an image description, change it to fit your needs, and copy it to use anywhere from Instagram, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, your Blog, Portfolio or CMS.
Your image now has Alt - Text and is Accessible to everyone.… View full description on the official store →

About this analysis
Why low confidence: only 3 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.
📌 Final verdict — read this before you trust the numbers above
Shiuli: Alt Text Generator is a very early-stage iOS app in the social networking space with weak public traction — only 3 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate.
Bottom line: treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers on this page as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
