The AI Receipts, published by Bambana LLC
Who shows up: founders and operators checking real AI revenue. Steady engaged sources: ChatGPT and Google. Tracker since 2026-10-14: 1,500 unique browsers · 1,900 sessions through Nov 9, 2026 (27 days). Snapshot, not the live panel above. Owner, internal, known bots, and Austin, TX sessions removed. ChatGPT named us on 12/30 tracked questions (AEO Nov 9, 2026). Newsletter: Beehiiv as of Nov 9, 2026 (real readers only; test row excluded).
AI founders and operators who want to sit next to payment-verified revenue data, not next to a generic “top AI tools” list. Readers arrive asking which AI businesses make money, then browse the leaderboard, one-person lists, and case studies. If that is your buyer, the labelled seat is the product.
Not a fit if you need guaranteed MQLs, a huge newsletter, or editorial control over our ranks. Sponsors never touch evidence labels.
- Labelled "Sponsor" row on /leaderboard/, purple style, not ranked, never in the sort.
- Mon/Wed/Fri newsletter mention, labelled box in the email (19 newsletter subscribers today).
Claim above: we go live within 24 hours after a preview. Free first month, then $29/mo. Cancel before it renews and you pay nothing. Rate locked 6 months.
$29/mo ≈ 2¢ per unique monthly browser, or 97¢/day, at 1,500 browsers in the last 30 days. Not a click or lead guarantee.
Ranked rows are editorial (payment-verified). A sponsor gets a separate labelled row that never changes evidence labels or rank. Get verified if you want a case study instead.
