What we do

We turn “they made $X” into “here is how”

  • A–D

    Every case carries a verification grade

    We separate payment-processor-linked figures from self-reported ones. When the evidence is thin, we publish no number at all.

  • AI ↔ human

    We record the AI's part and the person's part separately

    Replicability is only judgeable once “because of AI” is separated from “was already good at this.” Prior expertise is recorded too.

  • Conditions

    Figures come with period, sample, and failures

    A total on its own cannot be followed. We record when, from how many customers, and at what price.

Analysis

“₩5M a month” is not one job

How we verify →

Because the ways to reach the same number are different jobs. Below are three A-grade cases, placed by revenue per customer against customer count.

These four are not solo side businesses. Checking each official site (2026-08-14; FrameLiq on 08-15): two are companies with staff and investors, and two have unverified operators. They are used here only to show the distribution of price points — not as things to copy. Both unverified ones are listed for sale ($12,000 and $17,000), which says something about what ends up on a list like this.

Source: TrustMRR (payment-processor-linked figures; UGC Copilot, RankAI and AEO Engine checked 2026-08, FrameLiq checked 2026-08-15). Revenue per customer is our own MRR ÷ paying subscriptions — editorial interpretation, not fact. Three of the four check out against published pricing: FrameLiq's entry plan is $19 against a computed $18.5; UGC Copilot's is $29 against a computed $35; AEO Engine's plans run $1,597–$2,997 against a computed $2,084. RankAI does not publish pricing, so it cannot be cross-checked.

Where you stand on that line decides which skills you need. The left end means selling $35 to 103 people — traffic and automation. The right end means two $2,084 contracts — sales and trust. This is exactly where “just hit ₩5M” stops being useful.
