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. Apps are included when Utilities & Tools is their primary or a listed category on either store.

Frequently asked questions
What is the top grossing utilities & tools app?
In AppGazers estimates for August 2026, ChatGPT ranks first by modeled gross in-app spend across the App Store and Google Play. The ranking uses the model's central estimate; the band shown beside each app is the range to rely on.
How is this list ranked?
By each listing's modeled gross in-app spend for the month, highest first. Each App Store and Google Play listing is ranked separately, so one product can appear once per store. An app is included when Utilities & Tools is its primary or a listed category in either store.
Are these real revenue numbers?
No. They are AppGazers model estimates of gross in-app spend, shown as an 80% band. Developers do not publish store revenue, so every third-party figure is modeled.
Does revenue include ads or web subscriptions?
No. It covers in-app purchases and subscriptions through the store only. Advertising revenue, web sales and profit are not included.
Are the estimates for one country?
No. Estimates are worldwide totals for each store listing. AppGazers does not publish country-level revenue or download estimates.
How often is this report updated?
Store data is refreshed daily and estimates are re-modeled after each month closes. The page shows the estimate month and the date the estimates were modeled.
