$1.2K MRR: digital footprint scans across 600+ platforms

Tracebase scans for exposed accounts and known breach records linked to email addresses and usernames. Its $1.2K MRR is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

Tracebase finds exposed accounts and data breaches tied to an email address or username across supported platforms. Customers start with an email address and can add a username for more coverage.

The scan checks accounts and known breach records, with findings appearing as results arrive. It also provides step-by-step removal instructions and direct deletion links.

How it charges

The pages we read do not state a price. Tracebase offers automatic monthly scans with email alerts, giving customers a recurring monitoring option after they start with an email address and add a username for more coverage.

Where it sits in the data

Tracebase's $1.2K MRR is higher than 77% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Security” category (96 projects) it is higher than 71% (category median $254). 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?

My view is that this needs real work. The buyer is an individual or business concerned about exposed accounts, breaches, and online privacy. Distribution would require a clear way to reach those buyers and demonstrate how a scan finding leads to a concrete cleanup step.

The hard parts include maintaining broad platform coverage, keeping breach records current, handling deletion links, and supporting customers through different cleanup paths. Privacy obligations, data handling, security expectations, support load, and competition would also matter.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

The strongest product lesson is to connect discovery with a next action. Tracebase shows what is exposed, supplies removal instructions and deletion links, and then lets customers track cleanup and ongoing exposure.
