Where it sits in the data
Promatic | Permit Automation's $6.9K 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 “Real Estate” category (108 projects) it is higher than 96% (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?
In my view, the buyer is a residential HVAC or plumbing contractor that needs permits, inspections, licensing, and compliance handled across local jurisdictions. Distribution would need to come from channels that reach those contractors, but the pages do not disclose which channels the business uses.
The difficult parts are maintaining current rules for each city, coordinating inspections, supporting contractors through follow-ups, and handling compliance work. The service also operates in a market with competitors, and the site makes cost, timing, and inspection claims that a new service would need to substantiate.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
One thing to take from it is the combination of a $99 per-project price with no contract or subscription and a service scope spanning permits, inspections, licensing, and compliance.
