August is behind us which means it's time to check in on Twitter's, I mean, X's revenue.
August was X's first full month as X and a lot has changed. Including revenue!
According to our App Intelligence, X brought in $5.8M of net revenue from the App Store and Google Play in August. That's the most the apps have ever earned the platform.
Comparing this to the pre-Elon days, revenue is now more than 10x higher!
Although revenue grew across both the App Store and Google Play in August, the majority of the increase came through the App Store and in the US.
Can you guess X's second-largest country by revenue? It's Japan.
This revenue growth means more Premium subscribers (what used to be Twitter Blue) and more subscribers. A win across the board.
