Solo-run Typebot shows about $43.3K revenue over the latest 30 days

French developer Baptiste Arnaud runs Typebot alone, offering a no-code builder for chatbots and conversational forms. The product reached only about $100 MRR in its first eight months; a 2021 lifetime deal brought $23,000 and more than 900 users, after which Arnaud rebuilt it under AGPLv3 while keeping a paid cloud option for customers who prefer not to deploy and maintain it. Indie Hackers' Stripe-connected page currently shows $43,288 over the latest 30 days. Small Start describes acquisition through marketplaces, community and word of mouth, including an influencer-driven 88% revenue jump in Brazil in 2023. Software, self-hosting contributors and managed subscriptions create leverage; cloud, support, maintenance and founder time remain costs. The Stripe figure is verifiable but excludes off-platform payments, while profit, churn and solo support load are undisclosed.
