The app primarily targets high-net-worth individuals and currently boasts over 55,000 registered users, including software engineers, IT administrators, and security specialists, reflecting substantial room for product and marketing growth. Users from English-speaking countries such as the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, along with Europe and other parts of the world, form the app's customer base.
The application makes money through premium memberships that cost $50, offering access to quizzes, exams, personal certificates, and learning progress trackers.
