How we estimate app revenue
Apple doesn't publish app revenue. Fledly estimates it from the US Top Grossing chart, which Apple ranks by consumer spending: about $70 million a month at #1, falling with rank (rank^-0.75 to #100, then 1/rank), and category ranks are first mapped to an overall rank. The true figure is usually within three times the estimate either way. The model and its error bars are explained in How much do iPhone apps make at each Top Grossing rank?, and you can try it with the app revenue calculator.
The estimate covers the US App Store on iPhone only, not other countries, iPad, Android or web sales. Fledly is not affiliated with TikTok Ltd., and nothing here comes from the developer.
