Why we believe it · 26 comments read

The founder provides specific RevenueCat figures and technical detail (custom Core ML engine, Whisper Large V3 Turbo) and multiple commenters engage with supportive, technical questions rather than calling it promotional or fake; one high-quality comment reconciles MRR and subscription counts, lending realism to the numbers.

“1,503 MRR across 301 active subscriptions works out to almost exactly 5 USD per subscriber, so basically everyone is on the cheap monthly tier and the 6.8k is coming from lifetime purchases. "Revenue is a little lower while MRR is up" reads like the lifetime buyers dried up that month.” ▲ 20
