# How do I find the top SaaS startups by MRR?

> Open the ShowMRR leaderboard, which ranks startups by the MRR figure shown, and narrow it to a category such as SaaS or AI. Each row says whether the figure is verified or self-reported, so read that before comparing. An AI assistant connected to the ShowMRR MCP server can run the same ranking.

## Steps

1. Open the [leaderboard](https://showmrr.com/leaderboard). Ranking follows the MRR figure shown, verified or not; ShowMRR does not rank paid placement.
2. Pick a [category](https://showmrr.com/categories) to narrow it. There are 20, including SaaS, AI, Fintech and E-commerce.
3. Read the label on every row. Compare Verified with Verified; a self-reported number is the founder's own claim.
4. Open a startup for its MRR history and growth.
5. To work with the list in an AI assistant, connect the [MCP server](https://showmrr.com/mcp) and ask for the top startups in a category; the `get_leaderboard` tool also takes a verified-only option.

## FAQ

### Can I see only verified startups?

Through the MCP server and the API, yes: ask for verified-only. On the website, read the label on each row.

### How often does the data change?

Provider-connected figures sync about hourly. Self-reported figures change when someone edits them or ShowMRRBot re-reads a public page.

### Is the ranking an endorsement?

No. It is ordered by the MRR shown and is not financial advice.
