ProvenStartups·Published 2026-08-01

A SaaS example is only useful if the revenue figure comes with an evidence class attached, and of the 105 micro SaaS and small subscription businesses we index, 28 disclose a clean monthly number — median $27K/mo, range $29/mo to $1.3M/mo. Every example below carries its number and the class of proof behind it.

Most "examples of SaaS companies" articles name Slack, Salesforce and Zoom, attach no figure you could copy, and end. We think that is worse than useless.

Which SaaS examples come with checkable revenue?

An example is worth studying when three things travel together: a named business, a stated monthly figure, a source class you can weigh. Of the 105 we index, 28 clear that bar.

Which means 77 do not. They ship, they have customers — but no clean monthly figure was published, so we do not assign one. Inventing a plausible number would make the list longer and worse.

The range across those 28 runs from $29/mo to $1.3M/mo. A spread that wide is a warning: neither the average nor the top is something you can plan against.

The examples, with the number attached

Ten SaaS businesses with the disclosed figure, evidence class, and one structural choice a reader can copy. Read the class column first — it changes what revenue is worth.

BusinessMonthly figureEvidence classCopyable structure
AI Clone of Floe-Style Agency SaaS$1.3M/mo benchmark (the cloner: $0)Creator-relayedClone a known product's core loop, not its brand
OutrankPushing toward $1M/moFounder-reportedTiny team plus contractors, no headcount build-out
Cluely$500K/mo (~$6M ARR)Founder-reported~13–14 staff plus 60 contracted creators for distribution

Cast Magic~$130K/mo MRRCreator-relayedOne input format, many output formats
BlockSurvey$115K/mo recurring, 500+ customersCreator-relayed40% enterprise / 60% SMB, plans from $29/mo
Mergify$110K/mo, 150+ customers, ~$750/mo averageFounder-reported3× growth in 12 months from ~$35K/mo
Magai~$100K/mo, over $1M cumulativeCreator-relayedNon-technical founder, started solo

Mine Marketing is the only third-party verified figure here — $140K/mo, shown by refreshing QuickBooks live on stream. That is what verification looks like, and it is rare enough to change your reading of everything else.

Mergify is the most instructive founder-reported case, because it publishes the arithmetic: 150+ customers at roughly $750/mo average, up 3× in twelve months from ~$35K/mo. You can check that multiplication. Almost no other example lets you.

The $1.3M/mo Floe figure at the top is the weakest entry, not the strongest — a benchmark someone else reached, relayed by a creator whose clone earned $0.

How much is each of these numbers actually worth?

The evidence split across these 105 businesses: 13 third-party verified, 59 founder-reported, 22 creator-relayed, 11 unproven. Verified plus founder-reported comes to 69% — the highest share of any group we index, still short of two figures in three.

Evidence classCount in this groupWhat it means
Third-party verified13Confirmed outside the business — a screen-share, a filing, an audit
Founder-reported59The owner stated it; nobody checked
Creator-relayed22Someone repeated a figure about a business they don't own
Unproven11A number circulates; nothing supports it

Here is the position this entire site rests on. A founder-reported figure and a third-party verified figure are not the same claim and should never be quoted in the same breath. The founder has firsthand knowledge and an incentive to shade it. The relayer has the incentive without the knowledge — the worst pairing available.

Across the whole index of 406 businesses the split is 57 verified / 184 founder-reported / 121 creator-relayed / 44 unproven. Same shape, four times the sample.

The honest caveat, stated once: this index over-represents businesses that both survived and chose to publish. The $27K/mo median is a comparison tool, not an expectation.

What the examples have in common — and where that breaks

The pattern is small teams charging real money to few customers. Mine Marketing does $140K/mo with fewer than 50 clients and 6 people. Mergify does $110K/mo at ~$750/mo per account. The $27K/mo median is reachable on that arithmetic; $1.3M/mo is not a template.

Where it breaks is distribution. Cluely runs ~13–14 staff plus 60 contracted creators — a media operation attached to software. Copy the product without the machine and you get the product only.

It also breaks on the first customer. Oro Health's software earns ~$75K/mo, half from Dermago, the clinic the founders run themselves — an ~$900K run rate off one captive customer. A genuine advantage, and not one you can decide to have.

Pricing is where the group is most consistent. BlockSurvey starts individual plans at $29/mo, also the bottom of this group's range. Selling through an app store instead? Apple's Small Business Program and the Google Play service fee schedule set your commission before any of these numbers apply.

The examples nobody lists

Two businesses here are documented failures, and an examples article built only from winners is a sampling error dressed up as advice. Both teach more than the $1.3M/mo entry.

LeadLedger spent about $35,000 across two products — $15,000 on an email-capture SDK, $20,000 on a Facebook Lead Ads connector. The SDK sold exactly one licence, at $300/year. The connector, priced at $29/month or a $199 lifetime licence, sold off a single webinar; the founder never states a unit count. Money ran out, the site is dead.

The founder's own diagnosis: the first product was interesting to have, and nobody had a pain they would pay to fix. The pivot targeted a leak buyers could feel — leads arriving from Facebook, dying in a spreadsheet.

The Viblo-style ranking shorts generator is filed as potential, not proven: the creator claims $36K/mo from the niche, unproven. It is here because the claim has no support.

How to use this without fooling yourself

  1. 1.Plan against $27K/mo, not $1.3M/mo. The median of the 28 disclosing businesses is the number to model; the top of the range is creator-relayed and belongs to someone else.
  2. 2.Copy Mergify's arithmetic, not its product. 150+ customers at ~$750/mo average. Write your own two numbers and see whether they multiply to a defensible target.
  3. 3.Downgrade every creator-relayed figure you cite. 22 of the figures here are relayed; the Floe entry pairs $1.3M/mo with a builder earning $0. Label before you act.
  4. 4.Run LeadLedger's test before you build. Does the buyer have a pain they'd pay to fix, or something merely useful to have? $35,000 and one $300/year customer is what the wrong answer costs. Then write it down — the SBA's business plan guide is a free structure.

Frequently asked questions

What is SaaS company and examples?

A SaaS company sells software as a recurring subscription, not a one-time licence. We index 105 micro SaaS and small subscription businesses; 28 disclose a clean monthly figure, median $27K/mo. Examples: Mergify at $110K/mo (founder-reported), Mine Marketing at $140K/mo (third-party verified, shown live on stream).

Is Netflix a SaaS company?

Netflix is not in our index, so we state no figure for it. Subscription billing alone does not make something SaaS in the sense used here — the product is software, not content. Our group is 105 micro SaaS businesses, 28 with a clean monthly number.

What are the top 5 SaaS companies?

By disclosed monthly figure: the Floe-style clone benchmark at $1.3M/mo (creator-relayed), Outrank pushing toward $1M/mo (founder-reported), Cluely at $500K/mo (founder-reported), Grower at $180K/mo MRR (founder-reported), Mine Marketing at $140K/mo (third-party verified). Only the last is independently confirmed.

How reliable are these examples of saas companies figures?

Mixed, and we label which is which: 13 third-party verified, 59 founder-reported, 22 creator-relayed, 11 unproven — 69% verified or founder-reported. The strongest of any group we index, and a third of figures still rest on people describing businesses they don't own.

How many of the 105 indexed businesses actually disclose a monthly number?

28 of 105, just over a quarter. The other 77 never published a figure clean enough to record. Across the whole index of 406 businesses in 22 countries, 106 disclose a clean monthly number and 38 are documented failures — 2 in this SaaS group.
