44pixels is a small London company that makes phone apps powered by AI. Its best-known app, Cue, records a meeting and writes the notes for you, and Pixi is a chat app. People pay a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription inside the apps. The company spends heavily on ads to find new users and now ships about two new apps every few months.

Realistic income
Adapty, the company that runs the studio’s in-app subscriptions, wrote in an April 2026 case study that 44pixels reached seven figures of monthly recurring revenue (at least $1,000,000 a month) about a year and a half after starting. Adapty gives no exact amount or month. Companies House filings show £4.75M of investor money by February 2025. This figure is operator/vendor-reported, not independently verified. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.
Risks
- The figure is a vendor case study, not a payment-processor page, and gives no exact amount or month.
- This is a venture-backed team, not a solo side project; paid ads need real money up front.
- Phone makers can build the same features into the operating system.
- Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.
