Where it sits in the data

CodeFast's $7.7K in the last 30 days is higher than 92% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Education” category (517 projects) it is higher than 94% (category median $156). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 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?

My view: the buyer is a beginner or entrepreneur who wants practical coding knowledge for building an app, SaaS product, or online business. Demand would come from people searching for structured instruction that moves from fundamentals into product features.

Distribution would need to come from the founder’s audience, search, communities, and other channels where beginners look for coding education. The hard parts are producing accurate course material, keeping it current, supporting learners, and competing for attention in the education and coding-course market.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

CodeFast presents a defined beginner audience, a $169 USD lifetime-access price, and a curriculum spanning coding fundamentals, SaaS features, and AI-powered coding and design.
