Kagi doesn't publish revenue, so estimates for 2026 run from ~$7M (Growjo) to $9.1M (ZoomInfo). A sourced ledger of what the ad-free, user-funded search engine actually discloses: 50,000 paying members, profitable since 2024, and zero venture capital.
Yoast hit ~$12M ARR in 2019 with zero funding, then sold to PE-backed Newfold in 2021 and stopped disclosing numbers. A sourced, year-tagged ledger, why the 2026 estimates run from $12.4M to $100M, and the operator lesson in why a healthy bootstrapped company sells anyway.
Kinsta is private and 100% bootstrapped, so its revenue is genuinely disputed: third-party estimates run from under $20M to as high as $100M. A sourced, year-tagged ledger, and why a company that took $0 in outside money will never let you pin the number down.
Elementor is private, so what does the most-installed WordPress page builder actually earn? Third-party estimates run from $53M to $250M, a near-5x spread. A sourced ledger, why the numbers disagree so wildly, and the stray $761M figure you should ignore.
