@BuildingWaves Useful story. A lifetime deal can look like a revenue spike on a chart, while the recurring part you actually live on gets weaker. Thanks for sharing the numbers behind the offer.
@zuess05 $275 MRR five months in is real money from real strangers. That first stretch is the hardest part to get through, and most people never get to it. Congrats, and good luck on the next 100.

No viral spike. No hockey stick.
Tapesearch, podcast transcript search from the UK, since Nov 2022:
✅ $4,306 MRR, 186 subscriptions
✅ $97,064 all-time

🟡 Founder says: solo, bootstrapped, Google Ads
Boring can be a business.
@sergeynazarovx@ScreenCharm $58k from a screen recorder is a great reminder that boring tools win. Curious: what share of the revenue goes back into tokens, roughly?
@Quentin_Rnv Point 3 is the underrated one. Calling churned users one by one and hearing "I never reached my goal", not "too expensive", is something most founders never do.
@leo_mercerr Respect for posting the $0. We track AI income claims vs verified revenue, and most "overnight MRR" posts don't survive the check. Your honest Day 19 is more useful than half of them 🙌

$18,123 in one month. Then the ads stopped.
Wasabi, an AI party game app:
✅ Dec 2025: $18,123 collected
✅ Sep 2026: $3,940 (−78%)
✅ Today: $5,369 MRR

🟡 Seller says all paid ads were stopped
Ads rent growth. What's left when they stop?
@thejacobpegs Not sure about their current pricing, best to check trustmrr.com directly. You connect Stripe read-only and they verify revenue hourly. Happy to feature Swipefast once it's there!
@thejacobpegs Not yet, our newsletter is free for now. But we track verified AI income cases, so if you ever connect Swipefast to TrustMRR we'd love to feature it 🙌
Two teens. One AI calorie app. $30M+ a year.
Cal AI: snap a photo of your meal, get calories and macros. Now owned by MyFitnessPal.
✅ Verified: $30M+ annual revenue · the buyer, MyFitnessPal, to TechCrunch · 2 Mar 2026
How did they get customers? 🧵
The engine: many small paid influencers with tight communities, plus paid ads on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram (TechCrunch, 15 Oct 2026).
Not a solo story: about 7 employees plus contractors, per the buyer.
Copy the method, not the size: one promise anyone gets in seconds.
Three numbers float around. They measure different things:
✅ $30M+ yearly revenue · buyer via TechCrunch
🟡 $40M+ sales in 12 months · founder, in the buyer's press release
🟡 "$50M ARR" · founder on X, 2 Mar 2026
❓ Sale price · not disclosed
@dark_coderz I'd take the $8K. Small and boring can be real: Tapesearch, run by one person, does $4,121 a month, verified on TrustMRR. Revenue buys you time. A raise with no revenue buys you a deadline.
@onlinedopamine One-time payments work for AI apps too. GrowingUpVideo turns photos of a kid or pet into a "growing up" video, charges once from $4.90, no subscription, and did $3,586 in the last 30 days, verified on TrustMRR.
@starter_story Same playbook as Cal AI: one camera scan, a promise you get in 3 seconds, then lots of paid creators. Its buyer MyFitnessPal told TechCrunch it does $30M+ a year. The app is easy to copy. A hook tested post by post isn't.
