By MRR, Rezi is #2 of the 41 verified businesses we rank (only payment data synced in the last 30 days is ranked) and one of 4 above $100k a month (leaderboard). The median business in our data makes $24,900 a month.

Source: TrustMRR's public profile for Rezi (Stripe data), monthly totals in UTC, read Oct 30, 2026. The public profile shows the last 12 months only. October is a partial month.
Apr 2026 was the best month shown, at $276,000. Every month since has been lower: $225,000 in Sep 2026, 18% below the peak (our calc.), and $205,000 in October with a day or so left. TrustMRR shows MRR −3.8% and revenue −3.7% over the last 30 days. Job seeking is seasonal: the founder wrote that January is "a hotter time for job seekers" than November and December, so the next two months may stay soft.
How did Rezi get here?
Slowly. It started in 2015 as a Microsoft Word template, the founder told KoreaTechDesk, and the company's own 2023 review lists 2015–2020 as "No growth". The numbers below come from the company and its founder, so they are self-reported:
| When | Milestone (self-reported) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 2023 | $1M ARR | Rezi blog, Year in Review 2023 |
| Jan 2024 | $1,986,807 → $2,249,233 ARR in one month; 2M users in Feb 2024 | Rezi blog 2024 review; founder on Indie Hackers, Feb 9, 2024 |
| Q3 2024 | "$2.5M+ ARR"; 3,049,450 total users by end of 2024 | Rezi blog, Year in Review 2024 |
| Oct 2026 | $241,000 MRR, $2,960,000 in 12 months Verified | TrustMRR (Stripe) |
So roughly eight years to $1M ARR, then less than a year to $2.25M. The verified 12 months ($2,960,000) are above the "$2.5M+ ARR" the company reported in 2024. One outlier: company-data sites list Rezi's annual revenue at about $500,000. That is a modelled estimate, and Stripe says otherwise.
How much does each Rezi customer pay?
About $24 a month on average (MRR ÷ active subscriptions, our calc.), a bit under the $29 Pro plan.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | One resume, limited AI tools |
| Pro | $29/mo | Unlimited AI and resumes, one human resume review a month |
| Lifetime | $149 once | Pro features, one payment |
| Enterprise | $99/mo per 200 users | For universities, agencies and career sites |
Prices from rezi.ai/pricing, checked Oct 30, 2026. The listing does not split revenue by plan. Last-30-days cash ($213,000) is below MRR ($241,000), and one-time Lifetime sales sit in cash, not MRR, so monthly cash and MRR will not match.
How does Rezi get customers?
Search. Founder Jacob Jacquet wrote on Indie Hackers in February 2024 that "user acquisition is driven by organic search in branded and product-focused keyword clusters", and told KoreaTechDesk that SEO was "the best strategy for Rezi considering our unit economics" (both self-reported). Its TrustMRR listing shows a domain rating of 72. The founder has about 3,800 followers on X, so this is not an audience-led business. The listing claims about 1 million new users a year and 4.5 million in total (founder-provided, not verified); the verified figure is 10,000 paying subscriptions.

Is Rezi profitable?
Maybe, but we can't verify it. The TrustMRR profile shows a 60% profit margin for the last 30 days. TrustMRR checks revenue against Stripe but not costs, so we treat that margin as unverified. The revenue numbers above are verified.
Can you build a business like Rezi?
Our verdict on the case study is "Hard": The product is reproducible (a resume editor plus LLM writing and keyword matching), and AI resume builders are crowded. What is hard to copy is eleven years of search traffic: the founder credits organic search for growth, and the site has a domain rating of 72 on its TrustMRR listing. A new entrant would need a channel of its own.
The lesson for anyone asking how to make money with AI: Rezi did not start as an AI company. It was a resume tool with years of search traffic, and AI writing made the product better and the keyword ("AI resume builder") bigger. Adding AI to a product people already search for is a different bet from building an AI app and hunting for demand.

FAQ
How much does Rezi make?
Rezi makes about $241,000 a month in recurring revenue (MRR) from 10,000 active subscriptions, verified from Stripe by TrustMRR on October 30, 2026. It collected $213,000 in the last 30 days, $2,960,000 in the last 12 months and $10,400,000 all-time.
What is Rezi's annual revenue?
$2,960,000 in verified revenue over the last 12 months (TrustMRR, Oct 30, 2026). Current MRR times 12 is about $2,890,000 (our calc.). Some company-data sites list about $500,000 a year; that is a modelled estimate and conflicts with the Stripe data.
How much does Rezi cost?
Free for one resume, Pro $29 a month, a $149 one-time Lifetime plan, and Enterprise at $99 a month per 200 users (rezi.ai/pricing, Oct 30, 2026). Verified revenue works out to about $24 per subscription per month (MRR ÷ active subscriptions, our calc.).
Is Rezi growing?
Not right now. Verified monthly revenue peaked at $276,000 in Apr 2026 and fell every month after, to $225,000 in Sep 2026 (18% below the peak, our calc.). TrustMRR shows MRR −3.8% over the last 30 days. Over the longer run it grew: the company reported $1M ARR in March 2023 and $2.25M in January 2024 (self-reported).
How does Rezi get customers?
Organic search. Founder Jacob Jacquet wrote in February 2024 that "user acquisition is driven by organic search in branded and product-focused keyword clusters" and has called SEO the best strategy for its unit economics (self-reported). Its TrustMRR listing shows a domain rating of 72.
Is Rezi profitable?
Its TrustMRR profile shows a 60% profit margin for the last 30 days. TrustMRR verifies revenue from Stripe but not costs, so we treat the margin as unverified.
Is an AI resume builder a good business?
Rezi shows it can be big: $241,000 a month, #2 of the 41 verified AI businesses we rank. But it took about eight years to reach $1M ARR (self-reported), it rests on search traffic built since 2015, and its revenue has slipped for five months. A new resume tool would need its own channel.
