AI business revenue leaderboard

Figures rounded for readability; exact numbers are in the spreadsheet.

Not ranked: Based Labs AI (no new payments recorded in the last 9 months, TrustMRR; last month with payments Dec 2025) and Produce.so (no new payments recorded in the last 3 months, TrustMRR; last month with payments Jun 2026). Their listings still show an MRR figure, so we keep the case pages but leave them out of the ranking and combined totals.

MRR is processor-verified via TrustMRR, except rows labelled otherwise. $/sub = MRR ÷ active subscriptions (our estimate). Ranked = processor data synced in the last 30 days (on or after Sep 28, 2026). Change column: rank and MRR change vs our previous refresh (figures checked through Oct 27, 2026; 38 ranked then, median $22,500). ▲/▼ = places moved by MRR rank, NEW = not ranked last time. Business type = what each one is (AI SaaS, agency, mobile app...), free; category = the market it serves (free). Sells to = who pays: B2B (businesses, agencies, professionals), B2C (consumers) or Both, our classification from what each product is. B2B median $34,800 (n=19), B2C $22,400 (n=10), Both $18,100 (n=10): B2B leaderboard · B2C leaderboard. Median by category: Marketing & sales$40,300 (n=12) · Content & video$43,400 (n=6) · Productivity & design$14,000 (n=6) · Support & chatbots$18,700 (n=2) · Consumer apps$20,400 (n=7) · Education$22,000 (n=3) · E-commerce$17,900 (n=2) · Dev tools & APIs$35,900 (n=1).

Not synced in 30+ days (not ranked)

These businesses had verified payment data, but their processor connection stopped syncing more than 30 days before our latest check (Oct 28, 2026), usually because the Stripe key expired. A frozen number shouldn't hold a rank, so we show the last verified figure and its sync date here and leave them out of the ranking and the median. Including them, the median would be $31,600 (n=44).

Removed from TrustMRR (not ranked)

These businesses had verified payment data, but their public TrustMRR listing has since been removed, so nobody can re-check the numbers there. We keep the last verified figure and its date, and leave them out of the ranking, the median and every total.

Why trust this: how the numbers are verified

• Payment data, not screenshots. Every ranked row comes from a TrustMRR listing, where the founder connects a read-only key from Stripe, RevenueCat or Superwall and TrustMRR reads revenue from it. The founder can't type in a number.
• Every row is dated. We re-read the listings and show the date we last checked each one. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked.
• Ranked only if synced in the last 30 days. When a payment key expires, the listing freezes at its last sync. A frozen figure no longer ranks: it moves to the not-synced list with its last figure and date (5 right now). The cutoff is 30 days before our latest check date (Oct 28, 2026), so it is Sep 28, 2026; live listings count as synced on the day we read them.
• No recent payments or removed listings are not ranked. 2 businesses with no new payments in months are listed under the table. One business has had its TrustMRR listing removed and sits in its own section above.
• Not a random sample. These are established businesses we picked to study, mostly over $10k a month, so the median is not what a typical AI startup makes. MRR is revenue, not profit.
