BotHub reports H1 2026 revenue of 72.4 million RUB, transition to own AI products

BotHub, a platform providing access to over 240 AI models from 49 vendors, announced its financial results for the first half of 2026. Revenue with VAT reached 72.4 million RUB, up 230% from 21.9 million RUB in the same period of 2025, and the company turned a profit of 14.5 million RUB, compared to a loss of 0.77 million RUB previously. The growth is attributed to deeper usage and users shifting to more resource-intensive tasks like video generation, not price hikes. Customer lifetime value (LTV) for paying users by the third month increased by about 60% year-over-year. The company completed corporate restructuring, adopted a dividend policy (50% of net profit from 2028), and launched new features including a Batch API with a 45% discount, expanded video and image generation models (Grok, Veo, Runway, Sora, Tongyi, Kwaivgi, Lightricks), corporate analytics and spend controls, automatic provider switching, and an input tokenizer. Future plans include desktop and mobile apps, a documentizer RAG system with an on-premise version, and a shift from an aggregator to proprietary AI SaaS products.
