Moonly: $18K a month, self-reported in 2023 — NFT drop analytics

Moonly tracks NFT drops and provides analytics, a wallet checker, staking, an API, and a route for projects to gain exposure. Its $18K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 2023.

What it actually sells

Moonly sells NFT drop discovery, tracking, and investment analytics. Its site says users can find upcoming and live drops and get analytics for NFT investments. Revenue was $18K a month, founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of 2023-09.

How it charges

The pages we read do not state a price. Moonly’s site lists an API, but the available pages do not specify API charges.

Where customers come from

Moonly publishes progress updates through the Moonly Blog and lists Twitter and Discord as channels. NFT projects can submit an upcoming mint or live project to gain exposure.

What stands out

Moonly combines upcoming and live NFT drop discovery with investment analytics. Its site also lists a wallet checker, NFT staking as a service, API access, and NFT drop submissions for exposure. Moonly says Automatio funded it before mint and continues funding it now.

Where it sits in the data

Moonly's $18K a month is higher than 73% 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, the buyer is an NFT investor or holder who needs a way to find upcoming and live drops and assess them. Distribution would need to come through content, community channels, and direct submissions from NFT projects.

My view is that this needs real work. The product must keep drop data, analytics, wallet checking, API access, and staking operational. It also operates in a competitive category, while support load and any regulatory requirements would depend on the services and jurisdictions involved.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Moonly serves NFT investors and NFT holders with drop discovery and investment analytics. It also gives projects a submission route for exposure and operates related tools through its wallet checker, staking service, and API.
