What is already selling
Every company in this space, cheapest to enter against first.
Cheap to build and cheap to copy, so the interesting question here is not who is earning but who is still earning. The share of each advertiser’s creative that is still serving is the closest thing this site has to a survival signal, and in this market it is the column to read first.
How this list is drawn: Every published company the classifier put in AI Image & Photo. Ordered by thirty-day ad spend, lowest first - what it costs to be visible against them, not who is biggest.
Revenue is modelled from measured ad spend, not reported by the company. The band beside each figure is the range the model produced and it is wide on purpose - the method page shows the arithmetic and says where it stops being reliable.
Cost of entry
Cheapest door in: $482 a month.
Aigogo - ai photo upscaler and enhancer - is modelled at $22.7K a month on the smallest advertising budget in this space. That is the number to beat, and it is measured rather than claimed.

Where the buyers are
The markets this space is actually being sold into.
Reach-weighted across every advertiser in the cut, so one small company with a lopsided country mix cannot move the picture.
Which way it is moving
Budgets up, budgets down.
An advertiser raising a budget is the least ambiguous signal available from outside a company. It costs real money and nobody does it against a product that is not converting.
0 of 3 increased spend over the last thirty days; 2 cut it.
