TikTok Was the Highest-Earning App in the US Last Month
This is a single insight from This Week in Apps #101 - The Top of the Top. Check out the full article for more insights.
This week I also crunched the numbers to rank the highest-earning apps in the US, so you can see the full picture, and if you've been following along for long enough, it should come as no surprise that TikTok is now in the lead.
TikTok was the highest-earning app in the US in January, earning $64M of net revenue from the App Store and Google Play, according to our App Intelligence.
And it wasn't a hard win either. TikTok was the highest-earning app on the App Store and Google Play in January. That wasn't the case in December.
YouTube, Tinder, HBO Max, and Disney+, the usual suspects, rounded out the top 5 highest earners in the US.
Of the top 10, only one app didn't change its rank between December and January, and that's HBO Max, who retained its #4 spot. Another not-so-surprising insight given its very strong year opener.
According to our estimates, the top 10 highest earners in the US added $348M of net revenue, that's after store fees, to their bottom line in January. Not as much as December's massive haul, but it's really hard to outdo December, so it wasn't expected.
