Money moves on invoices, not in real time, so we publish it monthly: in the first week of each month, for the month before. One table, the plain figures, a short note.

July was our first month with the apps on the stores, and 55 readers chose to pay. Their contributions came to 484.41 dollars after Apple's commission and Stripe's fees, against 1,331.96 dollars of costs. The AI that drafts and translates every summary took 889.20 of that, with servers, our news provider and advertising making up the rest. The founders covered the gap of 847.55 dollars, and nobody drew a salary.

June brought our first real sale: one reader chose to pay, 63.87 dollars after tax.

The founders covered the gap, and nobody drew a salary.
