Where it sits in the data

ScrollLaunch's $3.3K in the last 30 days is higher than 87% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Marketing” category (897 projects) it is higher than 82% (category median $198). 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 would be an indie maker or SaaS founder seeking product exposure. Distribution would need to come from the product leaderboard, newsletter, blog, directory listings, search surfaces, and developer integrations.

The difficult parts would be attracting enough active participants to make the leaderboard useful, maintaining listings and directories, supporting integrations, and managing the editorial and promotional work required by paid placements. Competition and platform rules would matter.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

ScrollLaunch combines product discovery, paid promotion, newsletter sponsorship, directory submission, SEO-ready pages, and developer access in one product. Its pricing starts with Premium at $19 per product and Premium+ at $39 per product.
