The reference mentions self-reported. This does not certify this listing’s figure.

• Headline = $101 MRR read from the founder-shared RevenueCat Overview (media/captionsbro-1.jpg, posted 2026-11-01), consistent with the first-person claim of crossing $100 MRR; originalMrr=101, USD, basis revenue, self-reported.
• Customer observation: 33 active subscriptions in the same screenshot (also Revenue L28d $289, 821 new customers, 876 active customers); screenshot is small but these values are legible.
• TrustMRR contrast only (seen 2026-11-02): MRR $107, 34 active subscriptions, all-time $344, RevenueCat-verified, founded September 2026, Ukraine. Aligns with the founder figure (MATCH, slightly later snapshot); not used as headline.
• Pricing observed on App Store: Captions Bro Pro Monthly $4.99, Pro Yearly $19.99. pricing.from=4.99/month.
• App Store: released 2026-09-17, developer Taras Leskiv; site claims 5.0 from 15 ratings; Android in public testing.
• Soft flags: small seed; pick-one with sibling app Screenshot Bro by the same developer; crowded category.
• Ease 4: on-device ASR + caption rendering + video export pipeline, ~8-week MVP even with iOS only. Potential 6: big search demand and localization-led ASO, but saturated. Risk Medio: App Store + RevenueCat MoR; competition is the main risk.
• Logo: App Store artworkUrl512 via iTunes lookup (id6770987720), resized to 192x192; site apple-touch-icon is only 180x180.
