Apify revenue estimate

• 1. Our 5 public Actors cannot be found in Apify Store search. The API counts them (`username=zovo-one` gives total 5) but returns 0 items, even for their exact titles. 825 Actors from other publishers, created after ours, are listed. Until this is fixed, Store traffic and Store users are 0.
• 2. The fix is an owner message to Apify support (15 minutes). Another publisher (`changeable_peddler`) had the same symptom in 2026 and is listed now. The cause for us is UNVERIFIED.
• 3. Pricing is fine. Each of our prices is equal to or below the top 3 rivals. Do not cut prices. The gaps are the titles (TubeText, TikTok, Medium/Substack, Screenshot do not start with the phrase people search), placeholder `{"helloWorld":123}` API example input on all 10 Actors, and missing README sections (use cases, AI agents/MCP, free credit math).
• 4. Money in the next 30 days is small even when listed. The net is $0.22 low, $4.26 mid and $53.53 high for all 10 Actors together (ESTIMATE, model below). Leaders earn from a few heavy users (thewolves has 38,583 runs from 680 users in 30 days), so the goal is repeat API and agent users, not more trial runs.
• 5. `google-jobs-scraper` (a 10th Actor, private) has no pay-per-event price. It would earn $0 if it went public as it is.
• We fetched the data 2026-11-05 23:25 to 23:58 UTC (2026-11-06 06:25 to 06:58 +07). Raw data is in `out/I6A-raw/` and the scripts are in `out/I6A-scripts/` (run with `python3 -I`).

Atlassian revenue estimate (19 apps)

• 1. List these 5 first, all as Paid via Atlassian. AskSpace $23.0k, SignOff $13.6k, Markdown + Mermaid $8.1k, MathBlock $7.9k and EpicTotals $5.7k of expected 12-month revenue. Together that's $58k of the $92k base case for all 19 apps (ESTIMATE, math below).
• 2. A typical paid newcomer in our niches gains 60 installs a year. Eight 2024-2026 paid entrants ranged from 24 to 212 a year (FETCHED). Niche size barely predicts the rate, so the model damps it with a square root.
• 3. No public trial-to-paid rate exists (searched, NOT FOUND). Trials on monthly-billed sites turn into paid licences on their own, and Forge apps keep 100% of revenue up to $1M lifetime (FETCHED). So the unknown that matters is how many installs sit on free 1-10 user sites. The model assumes 40% of installs pay.
• 4. Raise 3 prices. SignOff goes $0.40 to $0.50, Markdown + Mermaid $0.25 to $0.30 and MathBlock $0.25 to $0.30. All stay below the cheapest maintained paid rival. Tier discounts follow the median of 68 paid rivals, which is 0.76x at 101-250 users, 0.50x at 251-1000 and 0.30x at 1001-2500.
• 5. Our listing drafts were written to an 80-character tagline, but the limit is 130 (FETCHED). The 100 top-grossing apps use a median of 121 characters, and 78 of them name Jira or Confluence in the tagline. New copy for the top 5 is in section D.

Money paths for the free VS Code extension

• 1. Context Drift is not on Open VSX. AI agent tools there get a median 7.9x more downloads than on VS Code (5 comparables), so publishing there is the best action per hour, at about 400 extra users per 30 days per hour of work.
• 2. The AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md niche is small. New extensions there get a median 0.1 installs a day, and the 90th percentile gets 0.5 to 1.0 a day. We rank #1 for "claude.md" but are not in the top 200 for "cursor rules", "ai rules" or "claude code".
• 3. The live 0.1.4 README has 0 images. The fast-growing rivals have 4 to 14. Ship 0.1.5 with the screenshot (another lane added images/demo.png at 06:26) and grow the keywords from 11 to 30.
• 4. Money from Context Drift is small in every model, at $0 to $600 a year (ESTIMATE). Sponsors pay almost nothing. Bookmarks has 5.2M installs and 2 public GitHub sponsors. If we sell, use Paddle (5% + 50¢). Lemon Squeezy is moving its users to Stripe Managed Payments.
• 5. The next 3 extensions are a PDF viewer, a DOCX viewer and a Parquet/XLSX table viewer. File viewers get 7 to 18 installs a day at the 90th percentile, 10 to 100 times our niche. SQLite Viewer PRO proves people pay for viewers ($99 one-time).
• All data was fetched 2026-11-06 between 06:24 and 06:45 (+07). Raw files are in `out/I6B-raw/`, scripts in `out/I6B-scripts/`. F means FETCHED, E means ESTIMATE.

Owner steps that switch the money on

1. Atlassian partner payment and tax details. The 19 apps need this step.
2. Apify business verification. This starts payouts on 9 Actors.
3. Open VSX Publisher Agreement. This puts Context Drift in front of Cursor and Windsurf users.
