Synta helps people build automations in n8n, a workflow automation tool in which a user connects apps through a workflow: a chain of steps, called nodes, for example a step that receives an email, a step that extracts an invoice from it and a step that adds a row to a spreadsheet. Building such a chain by hand means setting every field of every node. Synta's Copilot writes the workflow from a plain-English request, and its MCP server lets other AI assistants do the same. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for an AI assistant to call outside tools; here the tools search Synta's node database, deploy the workflow to the user's n8n, run it and read the result of each node.
The site was online by 6 August 2025, when the first archived copy shows a Starter plan at US$19.99 a month and "30+ Happy Users". The only person named is a founder who signs as Vik on TrustMRR, a site that reads a startup's revenue directly from its payment processor. Archived copies of that profile, verified with the company's Stripe key, show monthly recurring revenue (MRR), the subscription income that repeats every month, of US$7,688 in December 2025, a peak of US$14,909 on 1 June 2026, and US$11,019 on 6 August 2026, with US$122,329 of revenue in total by then.
On 27 October 2026 the business was offered for sale on Flippa, a marketplace for websites and online businesses. Flippa's vetting team says it verified the revenue, and the seller connected Stripe to the listing, which shows MRR of US$7,760 and a monthly profit of US$5,393. That is the headline figure of this page, graded A, and it is 47.9% below the June peak. The page also lists what is not verified: who else works on the product, the funding labels, and the customer logos on the home page.
How much revenue does Synta make?
Each row shows the evidence grade and the source numbers from the list at the end of this page. The grades are explained in How Aiolum verifies.
| Fact | Value | Grade | How we know | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly recurring revenue (MRR), 27 October 2026 | US$7,760 | A | Flippa listing, read 27 October 2026: "MRR USD $7,760". The listing is a "Vetted + Data Verified Listing": "Our vetting team has reviewed this listing and verified: Revenue Primary Expenses Traffic", and "The seller has also connected the following data integrations: Stripe". Flippa pages carry no date for the figure, so the date is the day the live listing was read. Calculated: US$93,120 a year at that rate. | [1] |
| Monthly revenue on Flippa's list card, 27 October 2026 | US$7.98K | A | Flippa SaaS list, page 2: "Synta Data Verified [Stripe]", "Monthly Revenue USD $7.98K", "Monthly Profit USD $5.39K", "Listed by Owner". The card rounds the figure and does not say which month it covers. | [2] |
| Monthly profit and churn, 27 October 2026 | US$5,393 a month profit; overall churn 12% | B | Flippa listing: "Monthly Profit USD $5,393 /mo" and "Overall Churn 12%". Flippa's team vetted the primary expenses; the expenses do not come from Stripe, so the profit is graded B. Calculated: 5,393 divided by 7,760 is a profit margin of 69.5%. | [1] |
| MRR, 1 June 2026 (the highest figure found) | US$14,909 from 329 active subscriptions | A | Archived TrustMRR profile, "Last updated: Jun 1, 2026, 06:50 PM", revenue verified with a Stripe API key: currentMrr 14,908.61, revenue in the last 30 days US$13,974, total revenue US$94,576. | [5] |
| MRR, 3 July 2026 | US$13,061 from 283 active subscriptions | A | Archived TrustMRR profile, last updated 3 July 2026: revenue in the last 30 days US$12,896, total revenue US$108,274. | [4] |
| MRR and total revenue, 6 August 2026 | US$11,019 MRR from 230 active subscriptions; US$122,329 of revenue since the start | A | Archived TrustMRR profile: "All-time revenue $122,329", "MRR $11,019", "230 active subscriptions", "Revenue is verified with Stripe API key. Last updated: Aug 6, 2026, 11:39 AM". Revenue in the last 30 days was US$10,788, and the profit margin of the last 30 days 92%. | [3] |
| MRR and total revenue, 10 December 2025 | US$7,688 MRR from 218 active subscriptions; US$11,399 of revenue since the start | A | Archived TrustMRR profile, last updated 10 December 2025, verified with a Stripe API key; revenue in the last 30 days US$7,126. Calculated: the October 2026 MRR on Flippa is 0.9% above this December 2025 figure. | [6] |
| Fall from the June 2026 peak to October 2026 | 47.9% | calc | Calculated: (14,908.61 − 7,760) divided by 14,908.61. From 1 June to 6 August 2026 MRR fell 26.1%, and from 6 August to 27 October another 29.6%. | [1, 3, 5] |
| Subscriber counts | 450 on Flippa (October 2026); 230 on TrustMRR (August 2026) | C | Flippa: "Total Active Subscribers 450"; the seller's title says "400+ subscribers". TrustMRR counts 230 active Stripe subscriptions on 6 August 2026. Calculated: US$7,760 divided by 450 is US$17.24 a subscriber, below the cheapest plan of US$34, so the two sources probably count different things. | [1, 3] |
| Seller's own figures in the Flippa title | "~$15.4K MRR, 400+ subscribers, 78% gross margin" | C | The title does not match the verified MRR of US$7,760 on the same page. It is close to the TrustMRR peak of US$14,909 in June 2026. | [1, 5] |
| Asking prices (not sale prices) | US$300,000 on Flippa, October 2026; US$100,000 on TrustMRR, August 2026 | B | Flippa: "Asking Price (Classified) USD $300,000". TrustMRR's listing history: first listed for sale on 5 December 2025 at US$100,000; a new profile listed on 25 May 2026 at US$250,000, then US$200,000, US$300,000, US$200,000, US$140,000 and, from 4 July 2026, US$100,000. Calculated: US$300,000 is 3.22 times the October revenue rate of US$93,120 a year. | [1, 3, 6] |
| Site online | by 6 August 2025 | B | The first Wayback Machine copy of synta.io is dated 6 August 2025 and already shows prices and "Free 3-day trial for the first 50 customers (12 left)". TrustMRR gives the founding date as 11 September 2025, which is later than that copy; Flippa gives "Site Age 1 year". | [8, 3, 1] |
| Founder | one founder who signs as Vik | C | TrustMRR: "Vik", "Founder of Synta", with no co-founders listed. No source gives a full name. The company's terms and privacy policy name only "Synta" and the address [email protected], and no legal entity. | [3, 9] |
| Origin | an internal tool of an agency | C | Seller's text on Flippa: "Originally created as an internal tool for an agency, this platform quickly gained popularity on a social media platform". The listing does not name the agency or the social media platform. | [1] |
| Country | Germany | C | Flippa: "Business Location Germany". The GitHub organization Synta-ai lists "Germany", https://synta.io and [email protected]. The terms say they are governed by "the laws of the United States". | [1, 11, 9] |
| Funding | not disclosed; the labels "VC Funded" and "Y Combinator backed" are not confirmed | C | On TrustMRR these two labels sit in an automatic summary of the landing page (the data field "aiEnrichment", made on 25 May 2026), not in a statement by the founder or an investor. The home page shows a Y Combinator logo under "Trusted by teams at". Y Combinator's company directory answered 404 for the pages synta, synta-ai and synta-io on 27 October 2026. | [3, 7, 14] |
| Usage claimed on the home page, October 2026 | 16,374+ users, 90,256+ workflows created | C | Home page: "16374+ Users", "15450+ Hours Saved", "90256+ Workflows Created". The company's own counts; in August 2025 the page said "30+ Happy Users" and "100+ Workflows Created". | [7, 8] |
| AI model | Anthropic's Claude; the app shows "Sonnet 4.5" | C | The home page shows the model selector "Agent Sonnet 4.5" in the Copilot screens, and TrustMRR's tech stack lists "Anthropic" for the backend. | [7, 3] |

How to read this table: a grade A value was verified through Stripe, the payment processor, either by Flippa (vetted listing with Stripe connected) or by TrustMRR (Stripe API key). A grade B value is a record kept by a third party, such as an archive copy or a platform's listing history. A grade C value was written by the seller, by the company on its own pages, or by an automatic summary. A "calc" value was computed on this page from the rows above it.
| Plan | Per month, billed yearly (US$) | Per month, billed monthly (US$) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | 0 | 0 | 3 days of Standard with 40 AI credits |
| Standard | 23.80 (calculated) | 34 | 150 credits a month, up to 10 AI-generated workflows, email support |
| Pro | 46.90 (calculated) | 67 | 450 credits a month, unlimited AI-generated workflows, team features |
| Enterprise | custom | custom | Unlimited credits, account manager, SLA |
The page shows the monthly prices and a switch "Annually Save 30%"; the yearly prices themselves load by script and were not in the downloaded page, so the yearly column is calculated: 34 × 0.7 = 23.80 and 67 × 0.7 = 46.90. Every plan includes deployment through Synta MCP. In the first archived copy, of 6 August 2025, the plans were Starter at US$19.99 a month with 100 credits and Pro at US$49.99 a month with 300 credits.
When did Synta launch, and how did it grow?
From a site with "30+ Happy Users" in August 2025 to a Stripe-verified peak of US$14,909 MRR in June 2026, and back to US$7,760 in October 2026. Each entry carries its grade.

Why did Synta work?
Four causes, in the order they mattered. Each one is a reusable lesson.
Knowledge that the model lacks
General AI models often invent n8n settings. Synta keeps "800+ verified node schemas, real workflow patterns, and curated templates" and gives them to the model, so each node is configured from the real schema. A node schema is the list of fields and allowed values of one n8n step.
Run, read, repair
Synta MCP deploys the workflow to the user's own n8n, starts a test run, reads the output of every node and changes the settings until the run passes. The April 2026 forum post says this works for every trigger type, including manual and schedule triggers, and that standard n8n MCP servers could not start those.
Two ways to use it
Beginners use the web Copilot. Developers connect Synta MCP to the AI tool they already use, such as Cursor, Claude Code or ChatGPT. Every paid plan includes direct deployment through Synta MCP, and the trial gives "Full access to Copilot and Synta MCP".
Credits on a subscription
Standard costs US$34 a month for 150 credits and Pro US$67 a month for 450 credits, after a 3-day trial with 40 credits. The credits cap how much AI work one customer can use each month. Flippa reports a monthly profit of US$5,393 on US$7,760 of MRR.
How it was built
These details come from the founder's TrustMRR profile (grade C for the tech stack), the company's home page and forum post (grade C) and its public GitHub repository. No source describes the code in detail. [3, 7, 10, 12, 13]
- React, Next.js and TypeScript for the web app, according to the TrustMRR tech stack; the home page loads Next.js files.
- Anthropic's models behind Copilot: the screens show "Sonnet 4.5", and the tech stack lists Anthropic. Google Cloud and Firebase run the backend.
- Stripe takes the subscription payments; TrustMRR and Flippa both read the revenue from Stripe.
- A database of more than 800 n8n node schemas, workflow patterns and templates, which the MCP tools search_nodes, get_node and search_templates read.
- Open-source rules and prompts for AI coding agents in the GitHub repository Synta-ai/n8n-mcp-rules, under the MIT license, with the MCP documentation at mcp-docs.synta.io.
- 78 blog articles on n8n topics in the site map in October 2026, such as node guides and comparisons with Zapier, Make and n8n's own MCP server.
Tools named in the sources
Each one opens its page in the Tools tab, with every story that uses it.
Who tried this before Synta, and why did they fail?
Four companies in the Loot Drop database tried to make integrations or automation easy without programming, before language models could write the configuration. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.
Xkit
The promiseA platform that made it simple for software teams to connect and manage third-party API integrations.
Why it diedZapier's lead and do-it-yourself cloud tools left no room, and the company could not keep up with its own integration work and costs, according to the database.
Solid
The promiseOne API layer to connect CRMs, ERPs and HR systems without custom integration work.
Why it diedEnterprise integrations were more complex than expected; high sales costs, long sales cycles and support costs broke the unit economics, according to the database.
Pathmind
The promiseAI simulations that automate business decisions for companies without AI experts.
Why it diedThe market was not ready for a complex product, and large cloud companies offered AI tools of their own, according to the database.
Appcubator
The promiseA drag-and-drop builder for apps, with no programming needed.
Why it diedUsers were not ready for no-code tools, and more flexible competitors such as Bubble won, according to the database.
The failed startups come from Loot Drop, a free database of dead startups, retold here in our own words. Loot Drop describes its entries as AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so these cards carry no evidence grade.
What changed
Xkit and Solid sold the plumbing between apps and had to build and maintain every connector themselves, which cost more than customers paid. Appcubator and Pathmind tried to hide technical work behind a visual editor or a simulation, and users still had to understand the details. The work of turning a business wish into exact settings stayed with a human.
n8n already provides the connectors, so Synta does not maintain any. A language model now turns the wish into settings, and Synta adds only the part the model gets wrong: the real node schemas and a loop that runs and repairs the workflow. That is why a product with one named founder could reach US$14,909 of verified MRR within about ten months of its first archived page. The weakness is also new: Synta depends on one platform, and n8n offers its own MCP server, which Synta's blog compares with its own.
Can one person copy Synta now?
The pattern, yes. This exact product, crowded.
Synta shows that a specialist layer on top of a popular tool can sell: the model is rented, the platform is someone else's, and the value is the curated knowledge and the test loop. The same layer is easy to imitate for n8n, and the verified MRR fell from US$14,909 in June to US$7,760 in October 2026 while the owner tried to sell the business.
Where it is still open: Other automation and configuration platforms with large user bases and complex settings, such as data-pipeline tools, home-automation systems or company-internal workflow tools, may still lack a specialist layer that tests and repairs what the model writes.
- 1Pick a platform whose users are many, technical enough to pay, and stuck on configuration that general AI models get wrong.
- 2Collect the platform's real schemas, patterns and templates into a database, and give them to the model at each request.
- 3Add a test step: run the result, read the output, and repair it automatically, so the customer gets something that works, not a draft.
- 4Offer both a web app for beginners and an MCP server for developers, with one credit-based subscription.
- 5Connect the payment processor to a revenue-verification site from the start, so buyers and readers can check the figures.
What could go wrong for Synta?
The risks are the mirror image of the causes above.
Revenue fell by half after June
Verified MRR was US$14,909 on 1 June 2026, US$13,061 on 3 July, US$11,019 on 6 August and US$7,760 on 27 October, a fall of 47.9%. The October figure is about the same as the US$7,688 of December 2025. It is still 288% above this site's floor of US$2,000 a month.
For sale for most of its life
The product was first listed for sale on TrustMRR on 5 December 2025, about four months after the first archived copy of the site. The asking price on TrustMRR moved between US$300,000 and US$100,000 from May to July 2026; Flippa shows US$300,000 in October. The founder wrote on TrustMRR that the reason for selling is that "other opportunities exist" and "personal reasons including the passing of a family member". An asking price is not a sale price.
Numbers that do not agree
The Flippa title says "~$15.4K MRR, 400+ subscribers, 78% gross margin", while the verified MRR on the same page is US$7,760. Flippa counts 450 active subscribers and TrustMRR 230 subscriptions. TrustMRR gives 11 September 2025 as the founding date, but the site was live with prices on 6 August 2025.
Funding labels and logos not verified
TrustMRR's automatic summary of the landing page says "VC Funded" and "Y Combinator backed". No founder or investor statement supports it, and Y Combinator's directory has no page for Synta under three names tried. The home page shows 22 logos under "Trusted by teams at", among them Twilio, Y Combinator, Ethereum, eToro, MIT, GetYourGuide and PandaDoc, without saying who at those organizations uses the product; this page found no testimonial quotes, only the logo row, and could not verify any of the logos.
Who runs it
The only named person is a founder who signs as Vik, with no surname in any source. The terms and privacy policy name no legal entity and no address, the listing says Germany while the terms choose United States law, and the seller says the tool began inside an unnamed agency. The headcount is not published; this page counts the story as solo because TrustMRR lists one founder and no co-founders.
One platform
Synta exists only for n8n users. n8n offers its own MCP server, and Synta's blog has an article comparing n8n's native MCP with Synta. If n8n builds the same knowledge and test loop into its product, Synta's main reason to exist becomes smaller.
