Method and limits
- Sample: AI businesses we cover that have a TrustMRR-verified listing. It is not a random sample of all AI businesses; verified listings skew toward founders who share revenue publicly, and we picked businesses worth studying (mostly $10k+ MRR). Do not read the median as "typical AI startup revenue".
- MRR, subscriptions and all-time revenue come from the processor via TrustMRR. Stale: Only listings whose processor data synced in the last 30 days are counted, the same rule as the leaderboard. 5 listings stopped syncing earlier (last updated Feb–Aug 2026); they are left out of every figure here except the one median that says it includes them, and listed with their dates on the leaderboard.
- Evidence labels: Verified = processor data; Our calculation = arithmetic we did on verified figures (medians, shares, $/sub = MRR ÷ active subscriptions). A headline carries the weakest label behind it.
- Every figure on this page and in the charts is computed from our case data at build time. Full method: how we verify. Rows: leaderboard. Analysis: pricing study, AI revenue report, October 2026 (who grew, who shrank). Errors: corrections.
