A tool that writes LinkedIn posts in your own voice. Its MRR of $79,479 across 2,315 subscriptions was read through a Stripe connection, and it was built without funding. πŸ”΄ That connection has since expired, freezing the figures at 28 February 2026 β€” this is not a current number.

In plain words

It writes your LinkedIn posts the way you write them. Two people built it with no funding, and about $79,000 a month was confirmed through the payment system. ⚠️ That confirmation stopped six months ago, so we do not know where it stands today.

What is sold

Monthly SaaS, split between individual and team plans

Checked on the official site 2026-08-31 β€” individual Starter $19/mo Β· Pro $39/mo, Teams $139/month (4 accounts). Annual billing takes 20% off ($16 Β· $31 Β· $133). Seven-day free trial. βœ… The cross-check holds β€” MRR $79,479 Γ· 2,315 active subscriptions = about $34.3 per subscription, sitting squarely between Starter ($19) and Pro ($39). Revenue and price list support each other.

AI's part and the person's part

Already had

A practitioner in LinkedIn personal branding. Not someone entering a new field because AI arrived β€” someone turning the repetition in his own daily work into a tool. To copy it, start from work you already do, not from learning AI.

If this is large, the AI is not the reason

What the AI did

Imitating your voice is the product. It drafts, rewrites, builds hooks and closing lines, and runs a 10–15 minute "AI interview" to pull a week of material out of you. A general chatbot also produces posts; what is sold here is getting them consistently in your voice.

the part a tool replaced

What the person did

Two people split product and marketing. The official page says Deven leads product and strategy while Utsav drives marketing and growth. ⚠️ This is not a one-person product. And the founder had been doing LinkedIn personal branding for years β€” he knew where to sell it before he built it.

stories that omit this do not replicate

The three columns are not proportional to contribution β€” we did not measure that. This is a schematic for separating them.

How customers were found

  1. The founder's own LinkedIn presence β€” selling the tool where it is used

  2. Product Hunt launch exposure

  3. Conversion after the free trial

  4. Paying customers

How we verified this

Evidence strengthAΒ· 2 source(s)

Verified by a third party, e.g. payment-processor data

πŸ”΄ First, the thing that matters most β€” this is not a current figure. The TrustMRR page states "Stripe API key expired. Data last updated Feb 28, 2026". The number still came out of a payment system, but it is a snapshot frozen on 28 February 2026 because the connection lapsed. That is why we record the period as 2026-02. Confirmed (as of 2026-02-28) β€” MRR $79,479 Β· active subscriptions 2,315 Β· all-time $474,580. βœ… Cross-check β€” the implied $34.3 per subscription falls between the published Starter ($19) and Pro ($39) prices. Two sources supporting each other. ⚠️ Figures disagree inside the same page. MRR reads $79,479 while "last 30 days" reads $32,216. For a subscription business those should be close. It looks like the 30-day window decayed toward zero after the feed died, but we could not confirm that. So we publish only the clearly labelled MRR and leave the 30-day number out. Founder identity β€” the official `/about-us` page names Deven Bhooshan (CEO, co-founder) and Utsav Patel (CMO, co-founder) with their roles. πŸ”΄ Grade A says the revenue was real at that moment, and nothing more. Not that it still is, and not that one person could do it.

What made it work

It does not sell "writes posts" β€” it sells "writes them the way you do". A general chatbot produces posts too. The paid position is getting them consistently in your voice β€” a narrow slot right beside what general AI already does well. And it was sold where it is used. A LinkedIn tool marketed through LinkedIn activity: when the product and the traffic sit in the same place, distribution costs almost nothing.

Risks

  • πŸ”΄ The number is six months stale. We cannot tell whether it grew or shrank since. Do not read it as current.
  • Not a solo case β€” two co-founders, and the founder already had years in the field.
  • It rides on one platform. A LinkedIn policy or API change moves the ground under the product.
  • General models keep getting better at this. What stays defensible is voice fidelity and how deeply it sits in a real workflow.

Does this work in Korea?

This transfers to Korea comparatively well. LinkedIn use is growing among Korean professionals, and the product needs one capability, so start-up cost is low. What transfers is the order: turn the repetition in work you already do into a tool. He had been doing personal branding for years, so he already knew what was worth automating. ⚠️ The place you sell it differs. Brunch, Naver or Instagram may be where your audience actually gathers. Decide whose repetition on which platform you are reducing before you pick the tooling.

7-day action plan

  1. Step 1. Count whether you actually write something on a weekly cycle

    if not, this model is not yours

  2. Step 2. Split that writing into the part you do identically every time and the part that changes

  3. Step 3. Hand only the identical part to an AI and check whether it still sounds like you

30-day action plan

  1. Step 1. Record for four weeks what you must feed in to keep your voice intact

  2. Step 2. Show that record to five people doing the same work and ask if they need it

  3. Step 3. If they do, do it for them by hand and charge before you build any tool

Words you may not know

Verification grade
How far we checked this case. A means the revenue was confirmed by someone other than the founder; B means the business exists but the revenue is only the founder's word.
Revenue
Everything that came in. Tools, fees and tax still have to come out before it is what you keep. The two are not the same.
MRR
Money that arrives every month, as opposed to a one-time payment.
Self-reported
A number the person stated about themselves. Nobody else confirmed it, which is why we do not print those numbers.
Replicability
How likely someone else is to get a similar result. The more the founder already knew the field, the harder it is to copy.
