This week I also ranked the highest-earning apps in the US, and was welcomed by a new winner -- TikTok!
TikTok was the highest-earning app in the US, hauling in $53M of net revenue in October from US users, according to our estimates. TikTok lost the top spot to HBO Max all the way back in April.

HBO Max was a close second, adding $50M to its bottom line, followed by YouTube with $48M of net revenue, per our estimates.
Clearly, video = money. Not a new trend, still a strong trend. Did I mention I'm on YouTube?.
Tinder and Bumble, not video apps, round out the top 5 highest-earning apps in the US. Both are locked into a race where Bumble seems to be slowly catching up thanks to several price increases.
Together, our estimates show the top 10 highest-earning apps in the US brought in a net total of $333M in October. That's nearly $10M higher than September's total, and most apps on our list saw a part of that increase.
The same seven apps held the same seven download spots. Revenue told a different story, and a short-drama app from Singapore crashed the top 10.
MLB app downloads jumped 43% this February while revenue climbed to $3.5M, signaling a stronger season ahead for baseball on mobile.
