AI companion revenue calculator
Model what an AI companion brand could earn: how traffic becomes subscribers, how churn shapes the audience, and the revenue it settles at.
Your numbers
Illustrative only: assumes steady traffic, conversion, and churn. Defaults are examples, not benchmarks or forecasts.
How the calculator works
Each month, visitors × conversion rate become new subscribers, and existing subscribers leave at your churn rate. The calculator runs that month by month for a year, then shows the steady state: the audience at which the subscribers you lose each month equal the ones you add.
- New subscribers = monthly visitors × conversion rate.
- Subscribers next month = subscribers this month × (1 − churn) + new subscribers.
- Net monthly revenue = subscribers × revenue per subscriber × (1 − fees) − running costs.

Frequently asked questions
How much can an AI companion brand make?
It depends on traffic, conversion, revenue per subscriber, and churn. Revenue settles where monthly churn cancels out new subscribers, so the calculator projects twelve months and the steady state your traffic can support.
What is a good revenue per subscriber for an AI companion?
Across the Highlife platform, average revenue per subscriber is $30.23 a month with subscriptions, tips, unlocks, and upsells combined, about three times the industry average.
How do AI companion brands get subscribers?
Mostly from social and short-form content that sends visitors to the brand's own site, where a share of them subscribe. Improving that conversion rate and keeping churn down move revenue more than raw traffic alone.
Why model churn for an AI companion brand?
Because subscribers leave every month. Without churn, revenue looks like it grows forever; with it, you can see the audience size your traffic can actually sustain and how long it takes to get there.
