Where it sits in the data
Shortsauto's $1.8K MRR is higher than 81% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Social Media” category (541 projects) it is higher than 80% (category median $152). 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 creators and product marketers who need a repeatable way to produce and publish short-form social videos. Distribution would need to come through channels where those buyers already discover tools, while affiliate content could provide another visible route.
The hard parts would include reliable video generation, platform-specific formatting, voice cloning, automatic posting, account permissions, moderation, support, and competition. Each addition could increase the product's scope and operational load, so the business would require sustained product and customer-support work.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
One thing to take from it is the product shape: Shortsauto presents creation, formatting, voice cloning, and posting as one automated workflow for short-form social video.
