Is Postiz really making $180k/m?

Is Postiz really making $180k a month right now?

Yes. Postiz is currently making more than $180,000 a month, and the latest payment data puts its recurring run rate at roughly $192,000 a month.

TrustMRR currently shows $182,586 of Postiz revenue over the previous 30 days, $191,639 in MRR and 5,640 active subscriptions. The revenue is connected to Stripe rather than entered manually by founder Nevo David.

That already answers the basic question. The $180,000 figure is slightly behind where Postiz sits today.

The harder questions are about what sits underneath that number. We need to know whether customers are really paying at a scale that makes the total believable, how quickly Postiz got there, and whether the growth can survive its historically high churn.

Is Postiz's $180k actual revenue or just an MRR number?

Postiz has now collected more than $180,000 over a 30-day period, so the claim no longer depends on an annualized MRR calculation.

TrustMRR separates the two figures. Postiz has $182,586 of revenue over the latest 30 days and $191,639 of MRR. MRR estimates the recurring monthly value of the subscriptions that are active now, while the first number measures money generated over the previous 30 days.

A growing SaaS should normally have current MRR slightly above trailing revenue because the customer base was smaller at the beginning of the period. Postiz currently has exactly that shape, with MRR about 5% higher than trailing 30-day revenue.

We can see the same pattern in Nevo David's earlier disclosures. He reported $136,244 of Postiz revenue in June while his Stripe dashboard showed roughly $143,000 of MRR. In July, he reported $169,250 of revenue.

So there are now several consecutive months where actual collections have followed the rising MRR closely. We are dealing with real monthly revenue here, rather than someone annualizing a short burst of sales and calling it a $180k/month company.

Can we trust Postiz's Stripe-verified revenue?

Postiz's revenue is about as well verified as we can reasonably expect from a private indie SaaS, although it still isn't the same thing as audited accounts.

The strongest source is TrustMRR. Its Postiz page says the revenue is verified through a Stripe API key, which allows the platform to calculate revenue and active subscriptions from payment data instead of relying on numbers typed in by the founder.

Nevo David has also repeatedly shown his Stripe dashboard publicly while announcing milestones. In the My First Dollar podcast, for example, he shared the Postiz dashboard on screen when the business was around $118,000 a month. His later monthly revenue posts have continued to line up with the Stripe-connected numbers.

There are limits to this type of verification. Refunds, annual subscriptions, prorations and currency conversions can make an external MRR calculation differ somewhat from Stripe's own number. TrustMRR explicitly warns about this.

But the uncertainty here is about small accounting differences. There is no serious evidence suggesting that a business showing roughly $180,000 to $190,000 through Stripe is secretly doing a fraction of that.

Do 5,640 Postiz subscriptions really add up to nearly $192k MRR?

Yes. Postiz's current subscription count fits its pricing so closely that the revenue total is surprisingly easy to reproduce.

Postiz has 5,640 active subscriptions against $191,639 of MRR. That works out to roughly $34 per active subscription.

Postiz currently charges $29 per month for Standard, $39 for Team, $49 for Pro and $99 for Ultimate. Annual customers receive a discount, so the exact billing mix will vary, but an average around $34 sits exactly where we would expect for a product whose entry plans cost $29 and $39.

We can push the test further. If every active subscription paid only the cheapest $29 monthly price, those subscriptions would already represent $163,560 a month. Postiz only needs roughly $28,000 more from customers using Team, Pro, Ultimate and other billing combinations to explain the entire reported MRR.

That customer math works.

Postiz metric	Current figure
Active subscriptions	5,640
MRR	$191,639
Average MRR per subscription	~$34
Cheapest monthly plan	$29
Team plan	$39

How did Postiz go from $17k to almost $200k MRR so fast?

Postiz has increased its MRR by roughly tenfold in well under a year, with most of the acceleration happening after it repositioned itself around AI agents.

The starting point is unusually well documented. An interview published early this year showed Postiz at about $17,000 MRR and 472 paying subscribers. Nevo David later talked about reaching roughly $21,000 before growth suddenly accelerated.

Postiz then moved through the milestones very quickly. Public founder updates and interviews put it around $55,000 during the first big acceleration, close to $80,000 in early April, above $100,000 in May, around $118,000 by mid-June and roughly $143,000 around the end of June. It then kept climbing through the summer.

That sequence makes the current scale much easier to believe. We are not trying to connect two isolated screenshots six months apart. There is a trail of intermediate numbers showing Postiz moving through almost every stage between roughly $20,000 and its current level.

Stage	Approximate Postiz MRR
Earlier this year	~$17K–$21K
First major acceleration	~$55K
Early April	~$80K
May	$100K+
Mid-June	~$118K
Around the end of June	~$143K
Currently	Well above $180K

Did selling to AI agents really change Postiz's business?

Yes. Postiz's AI-agent push coincided with such a large break in its previous growth curve that it looks like a genuine change in the business, rather than another feature launch.

Postiz had spent a long time grinding its way toward roughly $20,000 MRR. The product already had APIs and automation integrations, but Nevo David started packaging those capabilities specifically for agents through tools such as a CLI, MCP support and agent skills.

Then came the distribution event that made the shift visible. David has explained that an article from an account with only a few hundred followers eventually reached roughly 7.2 million views. The article showed people how AI agents could automate a social media workflow using Postiz.

In his My First Dollar appearance, the business was described as going from roughly $21,000 to $118,000 a month in about three months. David argued that agent users were different from normal scheduler users because the agent could keep publishing automatically instead of waiting for a person to log back into the product.

We cannot assign every dollar of Postiz's growth to AI agents. The company was also getting attention from open source, founder content, creators and integrations. But the timing is hard to ignore. Postiz spent a long period around the low five figures, changed how it sold the product, caught a huge distribution wave and then multiplied revenue several times over.

Is Postiz's open-source strategy actually creating paying customers?

Postiz's open-source project has become a huge distribution channel, and the gap between its developer audience and paid customer base leaves plenty of room for cloud conversions.

The Postiz GitHub repository currently has about 35,300 stars, 6,700 forks and 80 contributors. Its GitHub container package has passed 7.5 million total downloads.

Container downloads are easy to misread. They include repeated downloads, automated deployments and upgrades, so 7.5 million downloads definitely does not mean 7.5 million Postiz users.

The more useful comparison is the scale difference. Postiz can reach tens of thousands of developers through GitHub while only a small fraction need to become paid cloud customers for the model to work.

The offer makes that conversion fairly natural. Developers can self-host Postiz for free. People who prefer to skip deployment, maintenance, updates and infrastructure can pay for the hosted version instead.

Open source therefore gives Postiz something most social media schedulers have to buy: a large technical audience repeatedly discovering and sharing the product. Once AI agents became part of the pitch, that developer distribution became even more useful.

Is Postiz making $180k from a few huge customers?

Postiz appears to be making its revenue from thousands of small subscriptions rather than depending on a handful of giant accounts.

The pricing mix tells most of the story. Average recurring revenue per subscription sits close to the price of the two cheapest Postiz plans. If a few enterprise customers were responsible for a large part of the business, we would normally see a much higher average.

Postiz also markets directly to creators, developers, small brands, automation teams and agencies. Its public pricing tops out at $99 a month before any custom enterprise arrangement.

That makes Postiz quite different from a SaaS company that announces $2 million ARR after landing five large corporate contracts. Its revenue appears spread across a broad base of relatively inexpensive subscriptions.

There is a downside to that model. A $29 customer is easy to acquire compared with a $50,000 enterprise contract, but they can also cancel with almost no friction. Retention is the weak spot.

Is Postiz's churn still dangerously high?

Yes. Postiz has improved its churn substantially, but the last public numbers were still high enough that we would keep a close eye on retention.

Earlier this year, Nevo David was discussing churn around 19%. When Postiz reached roughly $108,000 MRR, he said it had fallen to 15.6%. A later My First Dollar episode showed churn at 14.6%.

Going from 19% to 14.6% is meaningful progress. It is still a lot of customers disappearing every month if that percentage refers to customer churn and is being calculated consistently.

Using today's customer base only as an illustration, 14.6% monthly churn would correspond to more than 800 subscriptions disappearing in a month. Postiz would then have to replace those customers before adding a single net subscription.

We should not present that 800-plus figure as Postiz's current churn because we do not have a fresh churn percentage. The latest public figure we found comes from when the company was considerably smaller.

Still, this is the biggest unanswered question in the business today. Acquisition has clearly been strong enough to overwhelm churn so far. Whether newer Postiz cohorts stay longer than the early users will decide how durable the current revenue becomes.

Public Postiz churn point	Reported churn
Around $17K MRR	~19%
Around $108K MRR	15.6%
Around $118K MRR	14.6%

Is Postiz really still a one-person company?

Postiz is still an unusually lean founder-led business, but calling it literally a one-person operation has become harder to defend today.

Nevo David repeatedly described Postiz as a one-person company during its fastest growth phase. In one update, while Postiz was around $55,000 MRR, he explicitly called it a one-person company and said it was running at roughly 80% profit.

The situation is evolving now. Postiz's LinkedIn company page currently shows three people associated with the company and describes its size as 2–10 employees. More importantly, David recently published a job opening for a senior full-stack engineer who would also handle technical support, with a stated salary range of $72,000 to $120,000.

Postiz also benefits from a much wider open-source network. GitHub shows dozens of contributors, while its Open Collective identifies additional people involved with maintenance and administration.

None of this takes much away from the story. Building a business at this scale with an extremely small core team is still remarkable. But these days, "Nevo built Postiz with almost no traditional team" is more accurate than presenting Postiz as a company where literally nobody else contributes to the operation.

Is Nevo David really keeping most of Postiz's $180k revenue?

Postiz has historically been extremely profitable, but we cannot confidently apply its old 80% margin to today's much larger business.

Nevo David openly discussed margins around 80% when Postiz was much smaller. Earlier interviews described a low-cost stack built around services such as Railway, Vercel, Cloudflare and Resend, with AI inference among the more noticeable variable costs.

David later repeated the 80%-plus profit claim when Postiz passed $100,000 MRR.

Since then, the company has become more expensive to operate. Postiz now serves thousands of cloud subscriptions, supports more than 30 publishing destinations, includes AI image and video allowances, and has been spending more aggressively on distribution. David has talked about paid creators, agencies and other marketing experiments, and he is now trying to hire a senior engineer at a six-figure annual salary.

So we would not take $180,000 of revenue and automatically multiply it by 80%. Postiz may still have excellent margins, but there is no fresh, independently verified profit figure today.

What we can say confidently is that Postiz generates more than $180,000 a month in revenue. How much Nevo David personally keeps is much less certain.

Is Postiz still growing right now?

Yes. The freshest Stripe-connected data still shows Postiz adding subscriptions and recurring revenue rather than flattening immediately after crossing $180,000 a month.

TrustMRR captured a useful short-term comparison only a couple of days apart. Over that small window, Postiz added 19 net active subscriptions and roughly $700 of MRR. Its cumulative revenue also increased by almost $13,000.

Two days tells us very little about the long-term growth rate, so we should not extrapolate those numbers into another huge forecast. But the latest Postiz figure is live. We are not looking at a milestone that was hit weeks ago and has already started reversing.

The growth rate has clearly slowed from the extraordinary period when David talked about adding around $1,000 of MRR per day. That is normal once the denominator gets much larger.

For now, Postiz still appears to be moving upward.

Can Postiz keep making more than $180k a month?

Postiz looks capable of staying above $180,000 a month in the near term, but retention will matter much more from here than another viral article.

The business now has several things working in its favor at once. It has thousands of paying subscriptions, a large open-source audience, growing agent integrations, broad social-network coverage and enough brand recognition that new developers can discover Postiz without first seeing an ad.

The revenue climb has also lasted long enough that calling it a one-week viral spike no longer makes much sense. Postiz has passed through successive six-figure revenue levels while continuing to add paying subscriptions.

Churn remains the uncomfortable part. Most of the customer base was acquired recently, which means we simply do not have years of retention history on the cohorts responsible for today's revenue. A SaaS growing this fast can hide weak retention for quite a while because new customers keep arriving faster than old ones leave.

Competition should get tougher as well. APIs, CLIs, MCP servers and agent skills are straightforward for established social media tools to copy. Postiz got there early and built strong developer distribution around the idea, but early positioning does not guarantee a permanent advantage.

The split is pretty clear. Postiz is already a real $180k-plus monthly business. Today's growth rate is much less certain, and churn still needs to move considerably lower before the current revenue looks like a mature, highly predictable base.

So is Postiz really making $180k/m?

Yes. Postiz really is making more than $180,000 a month today, and the evidence behind the revenue claim is unusually strong for an indie SaaS.

We have Stripe-connected revenue verification, thousands of active paid subscriptions, pricing that matches the implied revenue per customer, months of intermediate revenue milestones and public founder dashboards that broadly agree with the external data.

Actual trailing revenue has now crossed the $180,000 line as well, so we no longer need to rely on MRR alone to make the claim.

There are still parts of the Postiz story that deserve more skepticism. Its latest public churn figures were high. The "one-person company" description is becoming less literal as the company grows and hires. And we do not have a fresh enough profit figure to say that Nevo David personally pockets anything close to the revenue number.

But the headline itself is no longer much of a debate. Postiz has become a genuine $180k-plus-per-month SaaS, and based on the latest available payment data, $180k is already slightly outdated.
