    “Back in September I wrote about this in more detail and set myself a revised goal to hit $1,000 monthly recurring revenue (MRR) by the end of the year. As I write this I’m at $1,279 MRR, so I was able to achieve this goal too.”

    “RevenueCat breaks my income into monthly recurring revenue (MRR). On December 31st 2025 my MRR was $3,630, a 31% increase over the $2,769 I had on the same date in 2024. MRR from 2022-2025. It starts in 2022 because PB didn’t have a subscription until then.”
