Zigpoll sells monthly subscriptions tiered by survey responses to ecommerce brands and SaaS teams. Founder Jason Zigelbaum says he has no cofounder, funding or sales team and reached about $125,000 MRR in June 2026, up 44% from roughly $1.03 million ARR at the start of the year; these are founder-disclosed, unaudited figures. About one-third of new signups come from the Shopify App Store, one-quarter from word of mouth and roughly 14% from recommendations by ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Delivery relies on a stable software stack and third-party services; costs include infrastructure, tools, limited paid acquisition and founder time. Risks include small-merchant churn, platform dependence and single-person concentration.

Solo scale comes from compounding channels and disciplined scope, not doing everything alone.

Doudoulong, in plain words

$125,000 MRR is founder-reported, so keep the audit boundary visible.
