// Revenue estimates
See how much any App Store app earns
Find out what a niche earns before you write any code. Open an app and read its monthly revenue and downloads next to price, rating and rank history.
// WHAT IT IS
AppHitlist shows how much an app earns. Open any app and you see a monthly revenue and download estimate. AppHitlist's own algorithm works it out from the public charts and refreshes it every day. The estimate sits next to the app's price, rating and rank history. Use it to compare apps, size a category and pick your next project.
// WHAT YOU GET
What you can do once you can see the data
Size a niche before you build
Line up the top apps in one genre and see what the category pays. Decide in an afternoon whether it deserves months of your time.
Get a shortlist, not a scroll
Sort Discover by revenue or downloads, then narrow by genre, price and rating. Share the filtered list as a link.
Catch young apps that already win
The New but winning filter lists apps released in the last six months that already made a revenue chart. A small team can copy that timing.
See the whole story on one page
Price, rating, rank history, Meta ads and complaint themes sit beside the revenue estimate. You see why an app earns, not just how much.
// HOW IT WORKS
From first search to a decision in three steps
- 01
Search or filter in Discover
Type an app name, or filter by genre, release date, price, rating and ads. Sort by revenue and share the list.
- 02
Open the app page
Read the monthly revenue and downloads, then scroll to price, rating and rank history.
- 03
Check the story behind the number
Look at rank history and active Meta ads. A rank that holds for weeks and ads that keep running suggest the app really earns.

Back a claim with an app's revenue estimate and the rank history behind it.
// GOOD TO KNOW
What to keep in mind before you rely on it
Revenue and download figures come from our own algorithm and Apple's public chart lists. They are estimates and can be wrong. They say nothing about profit or refunds. AppHitlist covers the Apple App Store (iOS) only, not Google Play. Revenue estimates are part of the paid plan. A free account shows the app profile, rating, price and rank history. Estimates follow the daily chart data, so they lag real sales.

Questions people ask before they start
How much money does an app make?
It depends on the app. Some earn nothing, some earn a lot every month, and Apple does not publish revenue per app. AppHitlist gives you a monthly revenue estimate for each app, built from the public charts and refreshed daily. You can see where an app sits among others in its category.
How accurate are the revenue estimates?
No tool outside Apple can give exact numbers. These are estimates and they can be off. AppHitlist builds them from the chart lists Apple publishes, updated daily. They work best for comparing apps and sizing a niche. Check rank history and ads before you lean on one figure, and call it an estimate when you quote it.
How do I find apps that earn well?
Open Discover and sort by revenue. Narrow the list by genre, price, rating, release date or ads. Then switch on New but winning to see apps from the last six months that already made a revenue chart. Share the filtered list as a link, or open any app to see its revenue beside its rank history.
What else do I see next to the revenue figure?
The whole app on one page: price, rating, rank history, active Meta ads and complaint themes. Rank history shows whether earnings are steady. Ads show how the app finds customers. Complaint themes show what its users still hate. Revenue is where you start. The rest tells you whether to follow.
