Methodology →
Verified (Receipts)

Payment-processor data (Stripe / RevenueCat) checked by us or a third-party verifier such as TrustMRR.

Public data

Open dashboards, filings, acquisitions or company-published figures. Real, but not checked against a processor.

Self-reported

The founder said it (post, newsletter, interview). We cite it, but have not seen receipts.

Estimate (ours)

Our own modelled number, always shown with the method.

A page's headline number always carries its weakest label. Sponsors never touch labels.
