The reference mentions self-reported. This does not certify this listing’s figure.
View financial evidence- Headline = founder first-person claim, already in USD: about $1,000/month. provenance.originalMrr=1000. Basis revenue; the figure is self-reported and explicitly approximate ('roughly'), with no MRR chart or payment dashboard.
- Founder media is a speaking photo, not proof of revenue.
- Contrast (not headline): Observatory showed 11,932 total downloads on 2026-11-01 (11,797 in Lio's earlier check), released 2026-05-20, ~351-353 versions, last release 1.3.214 on 2026-10-29. Downloads are installs, not paying users, so customerObservation=null.
- TrustMRR: not listed (no contrast data).
- Pricing: no price found on the Obsidian page, Observatory or GitHub README; monetization presumably sits in the mini-program. pricing.from=3/month is an analyst placeholder, needs_review.
- License: MIT with Commons Clause (not OSI open source) per README; plugin is desktop-only.
- Stack items marked observed come from the README/repo; stackStatus stays 'suggested'.
- Ease 4: two surfaces (messaging inbox + desktop plugin) plus page extractors and ASR; desktop + scraping caps ease at ≤5. MVP ~7 weeks.
- Risk Alto: core flow depends on a single messaging platform (WeChat mini-program / WhatsApp Business API for a LATAM clone) with no MoR; WhatsApp conversation pricing and ToS for personal-capture bots must be checked.
- Angle: regionalize to WhatsApp Inbox → Obsidian/Notion in ES/PT; translate onboarding; improve with Notion/Drive destinations.
- Logo: GitHub avatar of mingjuner123-spec (no plugin brand icon found), resized to 192×192.

How to interpret the figure
The main metric compares monthly or last-30-day revenue across billing models. A reference may state MRR; not all sales are assumed to be recurring.
This is not net profit or a promise of results. Costs, stack, scores and MVP time are replication estimates.
