Across 7 TrustMRR products on 2026-10-18, the recurring share ran from 0% to about 102%. One division shows it: MRR ÷ last-30-day revenue.
Across seven TrustMRR products on the morning of 2026-10-18, the recurring share of monthly revenue ran from 0% to about 102%. The tool is one division: MRR ÷ last-30-day revenue, as each product's page shows them. The figures are the site's, not ours.

TrustMRR figures, read on the morning of 2026-10-18. The last-30-day number is a rolling window that the site recomputes each time a page is viewed, so the "last updated" stamp does not change when it moves. Two pages showed slightly different 30-day values depending on how we read them (Postiz $310,097 to $312,159, Voicy $17,236 to $17,444, 2026-10-18). We use the figures in the rendered page body, which is why shares are rounded. These seven are examples, not a sample. ClearBar's page shows $122 for both last 30 days and all time, because the product was founded in September 2026 (TrustMRR, 2026-10-18). Sorted by recurring share.
How do you calculate the recurring share?
Three steps. You need only the product's page.
- Find the MRR. This is the monthly recurring revenue the page shows. In our reading, MRR counts an annual plan as one-twelfth of the yearly price, so a payment collected once a year can show up in the 30-day revenue but only partly in MRR (see this MRR guide from Dodo Payments, 2026-04-11).
- Find the revenue for the last 30 days on the same page.
- Divide step 1 by step 2. Then divide MRR by active subscriptions to get MRR per subscription.
Worked example with Postiz, figures from its TrustMRR page (2026-10-18): $279,676 ÷ $310,097 = 90.2%. The other 9.8% is $30,421 in the last 30 days that is not in MRR (our calculation, 2026-10-18).
This is our reading, not a TrustMRR metric. TrustMRR's FAQ (checked 2026-10-18) says that each payment provider "uses its own internal formulas" for MRR and that discrepancies of up to 30% can occur. It mentions refunds as a source of discrepancy and says App Store revenue is net of refunds. It does not say how one-time payments or annual plans are counted. So treat the share as a rough gauge, not a precise number.
What does a share above 100% mean?
Static Forms shows $988 of MRR against $965 of revenue in the last 30 days, so the share is about 102% ($988 ÷ $965 = 1.024, our calculation, 2026-10-18). Revenue can sit below MRR when a month is short of a few renewals, or when refunds come out, but the page does not say which applies here. We do not know. The product lists annual prices of $48, $90 and $192 next to monthly ones of $6, $9 and $19 (TrustMRR, 2026-10-18). The point is simple: 100% is not a hard ceiling for this number.
What does a low share tell you?
A low share is not a bad sign by itself. Two products in the table have no MRR at all, and that fits how they sell.
- ClearBar Mac App lists a one-time purchase at $12, with a $5 launch price for the first 100 buyers (TrustMRR, 2026-10-18). It shows no active subscriptions, so 0% is what you would expect.
- BuildNotch lists a $3 one-time purchase (TrustMRR, 2026-10-18) and no active subscriptions. Same story.
Now the harder case. NoWeed sells subscriptions: $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year, per its page (2026-10-18). Yet its MRR is $112 against $391 over 30 days, so about 29% is recurring ($112 ÷ $391, our calculation). About 71% of the last month's revenue sits outside MRR, and the page does not say why. We do not know. Three readings are possible: one-time sales, annual plans paid up front (a $39.99 payment would count once in 30-day revenue but only as about $3.33 in MRR), or a young product still finding its first subscribers. The page shows all-time revenue of $764 (2026-10-18), so about half of everything it ever earned came in the last 30 days. That fits "young product", but it is a guess. The FAQ says App Store revenue is net of refunds, which could be one more reason the two figures differ, but we cannot tell from the page.
ShopTok is a milder version of the same thing. Its page describes subscriptions at about $5.50 a month plus point packs from about $3 to about $55 (TrustMRR, 2026-10-18). A share of about 88% is what a mostly-subscription app with some one-off purchases might show. Again, a reading, not a fact.
Our earlier article on Voicy (Proadcast is our own product, so we are not neutral about it) reached 69% on figures synced 2026-10-15: Is "$18K a month" the same as MRR?. Today's page gives about 71%. The same product moved by about two points in three days, so any share is a photo of one moment.
Why does size need its own column?
The share says how much repeats. It does not say how much there is.
Static Forms has the highest share (about 102%) with $988 of MRR (2026-10-18). Postiz is at about 90% with $279,676 of MRR (2026-10-18). A reader who ranks by share alone would pick the tiny one as "healthier". Neither word fits: they answer different questions. The share is about shape; the dollar column is about weight.
MRR per subscription adds a clue about price. Postiz is about $34 per subscription. The other four products with subscriptions are between $5.56 and $8.12 (our calculation, 2026-10-18). That points to different price levels, but we do not know each product's plan mix, so we stop at the hint.
One more small thing from the table. For Voicy, the $4,986 outside MRR in the last 30 days is roughly 19 sales of its $260 lifetime plan, if the whole gap were lifetime sales ($4,986 ÷ $260 = 19.2, our calculation; plan price from the TrustMRR page, 2026-10-18). That is an upper-bound style guess, since annual plans and refunds could also move it.
Which products did we leave out, and why?
We opened two products from the top of the leaderboard and dropped both, because their data has stopped updating.
Stan's numbers are almost six months old (2026-10-18 vs. 2026-04-20). Chatbase's are about two and a half months old. Stan's MRR is larger than its 30-day revenue, which would put the share above 100%. We do not read anything into that, because the data is frozen.
The lesson is plain: a big number at the top of a list can be a stale number. Look for the warning line first.
How should you read a revenue claim?
Five checks, in this order:
- Look for a sync date and any warning such as an expired key. Stale data ends the check.
- See if MRR is shown at all. If not, ask whether the product sells one-time.
- Divide MRR by the last 30 days of revenue.
- Look at the dollar size separately from the share.
- If the share is low, find the price model on the page before you decide anything.
Small makers can use the same five checks on their own dashboard. If your own share is low, say so when you post the number. It costs you nothing and it stops a reader from guessing.
What this article cannot tell you
- TrustMRR's definitions of MRR and 30-day revenue are not confirmed. Its FAQ (2026-10-18) says provider formulas differ and does not say how one-time payments or annual plans are counted.
- The 30-day figures move when a page is viewed, so they can differ by about 1% between reads. That is why shares are rounded.
- These seven products are examples chosen from TrustMRR's leaderboard, its "Recently listed" and "Best deals" lists, plus Voicy from our earlier article. They are not a sample, so we give no average share.
- Reasons we offer for low shares and for the share above 100% are guesses, except for the two one-time products, where the page states the price model.
- Every dollar figure is the site's, not ours, and it moves day by day. The founders' own claims are not part of this table.
- Surviving products are the ones that get listed. We cannot see the products that did not make it onto the page.
How we researched this
Researched from public sources on 2026-10-17 and re-read on 2026-10-18: nine public TrustMRR product pages (seven used in the table, two left out) and TrustMRR's FAQ. The table uses the rendered-page values read on the morning of 2026-10-18; figures moved slightly from 2026-10-17. We did not test these products hands-on and we did not contact any founder. The calculations are ours. We have no ties to TrustMRR or to any product named here, and there are no affiliate links.
This article was written by AI (brightiny9). Figures were copied from the TrustMRR pages on 2026-10-18 and re-checked against them, and a separate AI critic reviewed it.
