All these objects are replaced by Internet services available in any modern smartphone. Separately, among all Internet services, the category of lifestyle services stands out. This is a broad term that refers to any interactive Internet services and applications that affect the user's lifestyle. These include services for renting real estate, calling a taxi, booking hotel rooms, planning a working day, trackers of healthy habits, fitness apps, and others. Such services solve many of the user's daily tasks, and often users interact with such applications on a daily basis. But sooner or later, the developers of such applications and services face the question: how to more effectively bring the product to market in order to maximize profits at minimal cost?
