Chudovo software consulting: $5K a month, self-reported

Chudovo sells software development, modernization, migration, AI and IT consulting services. Its $5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 30, 2026.

Where it sits in the data

Chudovo's $5K a month is higher than 58% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this business needs a clear service package and a defined buyer. Demand comes from companies with outdated systems, legacy infrastructure, cloud migration projects, AI requirements or IT planning needs. Buyer discovery would have to come through direct outreach, referrals, search content and visible project examples.

The hard parts are technical delivery, migration planning, security requirements, stakeholder communication and support after launch. A new operator would need capable developers, reliable implementation processes and enough project-management capacity to manage multiple engagements. Competition would include other software-development agencies and specialist consultants.

Verdict: Hard to replicate.

One thing to take from it

Chudovo’s stated offer combines software development with modernization, migration, AI and IT consulting. A focused version of that offer could give buyers one clear service line while retaining room for related projects.
