Where it sits in the data
DataLemur's $1.5K a month is higher than 46% 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?
My view: demand would come from people preparing for technical interviews in data science, data analytics, data engineering, SQL, statistics, probability, and machine learning. The buyer is a candidate seeking structured practice, hints, solutions, coaching, or job-search materials.
My view: distribution could come from free courses, a free SQL tutorial, a blog, downloadable interview resources, and company-specific question pages. Building the product would require maintaining accurate question sets and solutions, handling coaching or support, and competing with other interview-preparation offerings.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
DataLemur combines practice questions, full solutions, coaching, a book, a course, and free educational materials around interview preparation for data roles.
