In October Feedly.com reported on their current numbers:
60,000 users have subscribed to feedly Pro.
…
The feedly cloud is connected to 42,000,000 feeds of information, receiving about 50,000,000 new stories every day.
In 2013, when Feedly Pro was announced, they reported selling 5,000 lifetime accounts ( at $99 each ). Ball park math would put their yearly revenue at nearly $2.5M ( 55,000 x $45/year ).
A little more digging around shows they are currently a “team of 10 people serving 8M+ users” and are profitable. Nice that they can sustain things with only 0.6875% ( 55,000 paid / 8,000,000 total, lifetime accounts don’t really count ) of users converting to a paid account. To put it another way, 7,940,000 of their 8,000,000 users ( 99.25% ) have never paid to use Feedly.
I eventually settled on Feedly after the sinking of Google Reader, I’m happy to see that they are doing well.
