Open: our real numbers

Revenue, costs and products for TurboKast Ltd, which runs Plainfiles. Updated every day by a script. Zeros are shown as zeros.

Headline numbers

Revenue, cash costs and profit by month, in pounds sterling
MonthRevenueCash costsProfitAI usage (not cash)
October 2026£0.00£206.00-£206.00£21.34
All months£0.00£206.00-£206.00£21.34

All amounts are in pounds sterling. Cash costs are money that left the bank or card. AI usage is what the AI agents that build the products would have cost at API prices ($27.02, about £21.34); it is covered by a flat subscription, so it is not cash and is not in the profit figure. If it were billed at those prices, profit to date would be -£227.34.

How these numbers are counted

  • Revenue is what the store reports as paid to us for sales: Apple’s developer proceeds, Google’s earnings after its fee and tax, and the sale price shown in a Payhip or Etsy sale notification. Stores take their own fees, so the figures are not all net or all gross in the same way. Refunds are subtracted where the store reports them.
  • Costs come from the company’s cost ledger. Annual costs, such as the Apple Developer Program, are counted in the month they were paid, not spread over the year.
  • Not included yet: tax, the founder’s time, and any flat subscription that is not in the cost ledger.
  • A month with no sales shows £0.00, not a gap.
  • A “Not connected yet” source is not zero: it means we cannot read that store automatically yet. Its sales will appear when it is connected, or when the figure is typed in by hand.
  • The numbers update once a day by a script that reads the cost ledger, the product database and the store reports. It never writes to any of them. The raw figures are in open.json.
  • The page uses Cloudflare Web Analytics only: no cookies, no advertising trackers, no per-visitor profiles.
