Revenue not verified. Founders can list on TrustMRR to show it here.

01/The verdict

A free site that has an AI with web search score how defensible startups are, using revenue figures from TrustMRR's free public API. It earns from $29 sponsor slots bought by founders.

The revenue data comes from TrustMRR's free public API, and a prompted LLM with web search writes the analysis. Both are open to anyone, and one indie-hacker blog already lists TrustMRR API sites as projects to build. Only 70 startups are checked so far, the founder is unknown, and 9 of 10 sponsor slots are unsold, so it has little traction for a copycat to catch up with.

Distribution

Shallow

~1 mo to cross

Each checked startup gets its own report page, about 70 so far. That could become long-tail SEO for searches like "does X have a moat", and the reports work as shareable cards for founders. Search results show no ranking or press for it yet.

To cross it: Generate reports for the 800+ startups on TrustMRR's leaderboard in one batch and publish them all, which out-indexes it within weeks.

03/The gap

Easy to copy

  • The verified MRR data, which comes from TrustMRR's free public API
  • The moat reports, which a prompted LLM with web search can reproduce
  • The leaderboard, report pages and share images
  • The $29 sponsor-slot model, a standard indie-hacker template

How you'd go after it

  • Cover every TrustMRR startup on day one rather than 70, and win the long-tail SEO for "does X have a moat"
  • Partner with a founder who has a big X audience, or with TrustMRR's creator Marc Lou, so a moat feature reaches thousands of founders at launch
  • Charge founders for deeper paid reports (competitor maps, rebuild plans) where this site only offers a free score
  • Ship it as an agent skill or MCP tool, the way Dan Hockenmaier turned his moat framework into a skill, so it runs inside Claude or Cursor

04/Build against it?

Only with an edge

Only worth it with a distribution edge, like a large founder audience or a tie-in with TrustMRR. The data and the analysis are free for anyone, so the winner will be whoever gets attention, not whoever has the better product.
