How these estimates work
Revenue is modeled gross in-app spend (in-app purchases and subscriptions, in US dollars) for the last full calendar month. It excludes advertising revenue, web sales and net profit. Downloads are modeled for the same month. Both are worldwide model estimates from public App Store and Google Play signals, not reported figures and not country-level numbers.
Every figure is an 80% band (P10 to P90): the model expects the true value to fall inside it most of the time. Apps below roughly 5K a month show as “< 5K”, and a figure the model did not produce shows as “Not estimated”, never as zero.
