What the number means
MailCheap is a newsletter platform, about two weeks old (founded 12 Oct 2026). $1,320 a month is what the 40 current subscriptions would bring in per month if they all keep paying. Nobody has renewed yet. All-time revenue is also $1,320, which shows how new it is. The figure is gross revenue, before email-sending, hosting and payment costs. The founder already had more than 400,000 followers on X, so the number says as much about that audience as about the product. A free self-host option means some users never pay.
Claim versus proof
| Side | Figure | Date and source |
|---|---|---|
| Claimed | $1,282 a month | 25 Oct 2026, founder post and newsletter title. He wrote MRR, which means the subscription total for one month. |
| Verified | $1,320 a month | 26 Oct 2026, Stripe via TrustMRR, 40 subscriptions. An earlier checked reading was $653 a month on 21 Oct 2026. |
The claim holds. The payment data is slightly higher one day later.
