01

Read the numbers the right way

Every figure here comes from TrustMRR, where founders verify revenue by connecting payment providers such as Stripe. The numbers are monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, as listed on October 15, 2026. They change often, so check the live listing.

Verified revenue shows what people actually pay for.

Spot the fastest growers

Among the top 40 on October 15, 2026, month-over-month growth included a stealth company at 136%, AEO Engine, an AI search optimization service, at 89%, and traxy.ai at 42%. Fast growth from a small base is common, and it can fade just as quickly.

08

Learn the patterns behind the winners

  • They sell to businesses or creators who make money from the result
  • They solve one clear problem: leads, ads, resumes, or scheduling
  • Many put AI inside a familiar workflow rather than selling it as a novelty
  • Several are open source, which earns trust and spreads word of mouth
  • They charge monthly from day one

Businesses pay for more revenue, saved time, and lower risk.

10

Apply the lessons as a builder

  • Talk to ten potential customers before you build
  • Ship a small first version quickly with AI tools
  • Charge early, even if the price is small
  • Grow through content, communities, and founder-led sales
  • Track MRR, churn, and growth each month
  • Follow platform rules when you build on LinkedIn, Shopify, or others
11

Keep perspective

  • These are the top earners among thousands of listings
  • Most apps need years to reach meaningful revenue
  • Some listings hide their names or are up for sale
  • Revenue is not profit, and costs and ad spend can run high

The golden rule

Do not chase trends. Find a problem businesses already pay to solve, and build the simplest tool that solves it better.
