EverBee

Etsy hides real sales. EverBee estimates them from public signals and shows the number right on the listing — free.
Will it work? · our read
Sells the pickaxe. A free extension that lives on Etsy, reveals the one hidden number, and rode 900K installs to $5M ARR — all resting on Etsy's goodwill and rough estimates.

Nuoptima podcast — Cody McGuffie: 0 to $5M ARR, bootstrappedEverBee — 900,000+ creators (company site)EverBee pricing — Free / $19.99 / $69 tiersRevenueGeeks — estimate-accuracy critique (about 80%)Cody McGuffie — Founder and CEO, LinkedIn
Revenue ($5M ARR, bootstrapped, no funding) is founder-stated on the Nuoptima podcast — first-party but self-reported and unaudited; an older third-party estimate (prospeo) puts revenue near $3.08M, so treat $5M as a founder claim, not a confirmed figure (not independently confirmed). The 900K-user count is EverBee's own marketing. The sales numbers the product sells are ESTIMATES (about 80% accurate by EverBee's own claim), not real Etsy data. Founding year (about 2021) is inferred from the "2 years to $5M" timeline, not confirmed. No fabricated drama: this won on distribution, a free tier, and picking a hot niche. The platform-dependency risk is structural but not yet realized. We never score you.
