Question 1

What can MoneyPeel help me with?

Accepted Answer

MoneyPeel breaks down online products that already make money: how much they earn, where their users come from and how they grow. Use it to find business ideas, test your own, study competitors or borrow acquisition and growth tactics.

Question 2

Where does the data come from, and can I trust it?

Accepted Answer

Every figure is labelled Fact (provider-readable), Derived (computed from Fact), Claimed (founder/page disclosure), or Estimate (model). Revenue ≠ profit. The Revenue Dataset has 851 products with public revenue signals (as of 2026-10-30); 435 report non-zero MRR with median $396 — that census is not the same as the on-site Business Reports / LISTABLE count. Traffic comes from Similarweb; the rest from product sites, public directories and social media, each with source and date.

Question 3

How often are the data and reports updated?

Accepted Answer

Figures such as revenue and MRR sync daily. Full reports are updated every quarter, and past versions are kept.

Question 4

What is in a report?

Accepted Answer

Six chapters: the business, where customers come from, growth plays, social & community, timeline, and what to copy.

Question 5

How do I let my AI tools read reports?

Accepted Answer

With a subscription, add the MoneyPeel address to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI tool and sign in to MoneyPeel to authorise it; it then reads reports over MCP. Tools that cannot sign in can use an API key instead.

Question 6

Are these revenue numbers real?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Revenue is synced daily from each product’s payment stack — the same daily series the report pages use — not a number the founder typed in.

Question 7

When does the board update?

Accepted Answer

Once a day, right after the revenue sync. The page itself is cached for ten minutes, so a fresh sync can take a few minutes to show up.

Question 8

How are “fastest growth” and “top revenue” ranked?

Accepted Answer

Fastest growth compares the last window with the window before it, so a product with no history has no growth figure and does not rank. Top revenue ranks the absolute amount in the chosen window.

Question 9

Does one huge day put a product on the board?

Accepted Answer

It can, because a 7-day window includes every day. The sparkline next to each row is there to show whether the growth is steady or a single spike.

Question 10

What counts as a rookie?

Accepted Answer

A company founded within the last 12 months (founded date on or after the cutoff). Switch on “rookies only” to see just those.

Question 11

What does a subscription include?

Accepted Answer

Every published report in full, past versions included, plus reports added or updated while you subscribe. You can also let AI tools read them over MCP.

Question 12

What can I read without a subscription?

Accepted Answer

Without an account you can browse every project and ranking, preview every report and read the free sample report in full. Reading other reports in full takes a subscription.

Question 13

How do the plans differ?

Accepted Answer

Reading is the same on every plan; only the MCP limits differ: 300 reads a month on Starter, 1,000 on Pro and 3,000 on Business (up to 100, 300 and 1,000 a day). Switch plans any time in Plan & billing.

Question 14

Can I read past versions and future updates of a report?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Subscribers can switch to any past version on the report page and read each quarterly update as soon as it is out.

Question 15

How are MCP reads counted?

Accepted Answer

A page of search or export results counts once; an empty page is free, and so is a project overview. A report counts once per UTC day however you read it, in full or chapter by chapter; each past version you open counts once more. Each metrics read counts once. Failed requests never count. The limits belong to your account and are shared by all your apps and keys: the month resets at the start of each billing month (yearly plans included) and the day at 00:00 UTC. Unused reads do not carry over.

Question 16

What is the difference between monthly and yearly billing?

Accepted Answer

The benefits are the same. Yearly billing charges 12 months at once, at 15% off.

Question 17

How do I cancel, and what happens then?

Accepted Answer

Cancel any time in Plan & billing. You keep full reading and MCP access until the period ends, then reports return to previews. Payments are not refunded for unused days.

Question 18

What is a good MRR for a startup?

Accepted Answer

In our sample of 435 products that publish MRR, the median is $396. A product at $6,732 is already in the top quarter, and $28,326 puts it in the top decile. "Good" depends on stage, but the distribution is unforgiving: 33.6% report less than $100 a month.

Question 19

What is MRR in SaaS?

Accepted Answer

Monthly recurring revenue: the normalised value of subscriptions billed every month, excluding one-off fees. We use the figure the product itself reports through its payment provider, not a model estimate.

Question 20

What does MRR stand for?

Accepted Answer

Monthly recurring revenue. It is a revenue measure, not a profit measure — it ignores payment processing fees, refunds, hosting and support costs.

Question 21

MRR vs ARR vs NRR?

Accepted Answer

ARR is MRR × 12. NRR (net revenue retention) tracks the same cohort of customers across periods and includes expansion and churn. We publish MRR only; ARR would be arithmetic on the same numbers, and NRR cannot be derived from our fields, so we do not claim it.

Question 22

Is $10k MRR good?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 93 of the 435 products (21.4%) report $10k or more. $10k is roughly the top fifth of this sample, and it is the point where a product usually stops being a side project.

Question 23

Average MRR per customer?

Accepted Answer

We do not publish revenue per customer: active subscription counts exist for part of the sample, but mixing declared MRR with partly-declared subscriber counts would produce a number that looks precise and is not.
