The headline numbers

We pulled together publicly shared revenue data for 20 AI startups β€” from indie hackers to VC-backed teams. The total: $1.88 million in monthly/30-day revenue. The median product does $63k MRR.

That's not a typo. The median AI startup on our board is doing $63k/month. The AI gold rush is real β€” but it's not where most people think.

Marketing tools are eating the revenue chart

Of 20 products, 7 are marketing tools β€” more than any other category. And they're not small:

Top 10 by revenue. See the full leaderboard β†’

πŸ’‘ Insight: The top 3 products ($500k, $261k, $184k) account for $945k β€” over 50% of total tracked revenue. AI revenue follows a power law, just like everything else in startups.

Dev tools punch above their weight

4 dev tools made the list (LLM Gateway $79k, Web3Forms $41k, Capgo $31k, Comp AI $12k). Developers pay for tools that save them time β€” and they pay consistently. The dev-tools category has the highest revenue-per-product ratio after marketing.

What this means if you're building

1. Pick a category where people already pay. Marketing, dev tools, and sales β€” these are the categories where AI startups are actually generating revenue. Not "AI girlfriends," not generic chatbots.

2. $63k MRR is the bar. That's the median. If you're building an AI product, that's the number to beat. It's achievable β€” these aren't OpenAI-scale companies.

3. Revenue transparency is a superpower. Every product on this list shared their numbers publicly. That transparency builds trust with customers, investors, and the community. It's why we built launch.arr.club around revenue, not upvotes.

Methodology

Revenue figures are shared by founders or from public sources (public dashboards, founder announcements). We preserve the original metric β€” MRR vs. 30-day revenue are labeled separately, never mixed. See our full methodology β†’
