How these numbers are built

  • Population: 5,602 businesses whose public TrustMRR profile shows revenue read from a payment provider's API, synced between 2026-09-02 and 2026-09-30, above $0. Collected 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-01.
  • Industry, growth channel, team size, country and customer type are fields the founder filled in on that profile; businesses that left a field blank are left out of that dimension. A business with several tags appears in several groups.
  • Groups with fewer than 5 businesses are not published.
  • The sample leans toward independent developers and small software teams that chose to verify their revenue. It is not an average of all small businesses.
