Revenue follows the season and single big bets, and the bots run into regulation. Closed Inspiration (counter-example) · revenue is spiky, and regulatory risk too First seen 2026-11-01 · last updated 2026-11-02 Status Closed (not recommended: revenue is spikes from a season or a few large purchases, and auto-ordering runs into advisory licensing and leverage) Why this is written up This kind of product stands out on the TrustMRR board (Kickly July $15k, BreadSync a single day at $11,850), and is easily taken as evidence that "people pay for AI predictions." Actual revenue follows the season, market moves, and single large purchases; once a bot places orders on the user's behalf, it runs into performance-guarantee issues, leverage, and licensing in various countries. This entry only covers "AI giving betting / trading advice" and "auto-placing orders for you": prediction-market companion tools (like Alphascope, App Store report §1.3) are at [020], signal subscriptions at [072]. Confidence Medium. Conditions that would overturn this (when it becomes doable for a small team): a product's revenue stays steady for 30 days across three consecutive months, with no single day above 30% of the total, and it sells only tools, not advice; or a market emerges with a licensing path that lets small teams legally sell AI betting / trading advice. ## Evidence Grouped by store. Each group starts with the charts that can be graphed (real curves, data dates below the chart), then the scanner's original notes and source links. ### Indie product revenue (TrustMRR)3 evidence · 3 products with curves [Kickly](https://trustmrr.com/startup/kickly-pronos-ia) kickly.io TrustMRR · 30-day revenue $4,603 (-28%) · MRR $4,393 · 114 subscriptions Monthly revenue (verified by payment platform) 2026-06 → 2026-11 (6 pts).

Apple doesn't publish download counts; rating growth is a proxy for downloads. - indie (11-02 check): Kickly (kickly.io, France, AI football predictions) month by month June $4,490 → July $15,363 → August $6,316 → September $8,229 → October $5,330; 30 days $4,927 (−41.9%), of which 10-31 alone was $1,557, about 30%; listing ask $100,000. - indie (11-02 check): BreadSync (breadsync.com, cross-platform position and P&L dashboard, Pro $197/month) $16,541 over 30 days, of which 10-05 alone was $11,850, 72%; the other weeks were only $680–1,100 per week. - indie + App Store (11-02 check): Setup Ai: Chart Analysis (id 6802448549,9-02, debut, upload a K-line chart to get entry, stop-loss and take-profit) $2,645 over 30 days (+178%), weekly $8.99 / monthly $17.99; charted in 15 App Store stores, up to 30 ratings, best rank was #10 in the ng category. ### For-sale listings1 evidence items - For sale listings (Flippa, 2026-11-02): Fondeobot 14489587 (sells trading bots and installs them for you), auction, annual revenue $148.8k, profit $132k, price $139,639; MT4 Expert Advisor software 12581158 annual revenue $141.6k, price $246,845, already reduced 34%; getsparx.io 12259429 (Bybit / OKX crypto bot, about 200 subscribers) annual revenue $300k, price $588,358. ## Already doing it Kickly, BreadSync, Setup Ai, Fondeobot, MT4 EA sellers, getsparx.io, plus a large number of Telegram / Whop signal groups. ## The hardest step Compliance and trust. Refunds and chargebacks when predictions miss; auto-ordering requires a license; gambling and investment advice are regulated differently in each country. ## Who it's for Not recommended for small teams to build "AI predictions" or auto-ordering. What's viable within bounds: pure tools that don't give advice (bookkeeping, review, position-size calculators), or the prediction-market companion tools in [020]. ## Should every product builder know this? No, only relevant to people building finance or gambling products. ## Change log 2026-11-02 Backfill check: Kickly's October report recorded $3.8k, today $5,330; the gap comes from 10-31 at $1,557 on a single day, which is still a spike shape; BreadSync's single day 10-05 was 30% of 72 days (the report says 70%); Setup Ai went from September $883 → October $2,674, still rising, but with only 30 ratings.
