What is already selling

Every company in this space, cheapest to enter against first.

Consumer micro SaaS gets dismissed as unretainable, and the churn is genuinely worse. What that dismissal misses is the reach: these advertisers buy audiences an order of magnitude larger than the B2B side of the index for the same money, and the ones below have been paying for it long enough that it evidently works.

How this list is drawn: Audience classified as people. 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: $925 a month.

CryptoBooks - crypto tax reporting software for italian investors with prefilled tax forms - is modelled at $22.2K a month on the smallest advertising budget in this space. That is the number to beat, and it is measured rather than claimed.

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.

Is this space still growing?

Where do these companies find customers?
