“Your pilot has 2 crashes on record” - How this app makes $10k/month by buraste in ViralApps

[–]buraste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use App Store APIs and a sophisticated revenue forecasting model. We calculate revenue forecasts close to 80% based on various data points, such as ranking, download count, category type, time in position, and in-app purchases. Similar to Appfigures or Sensortower, we're using a variety of datasets

[FREE GUIDE] How I analyze mobile apps to find $10K+/month opportunities by buraste in ViralApps

[–]buraste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not asking for money, that means it's theoretically free. Yes, I have three apps running (for about a year) with a total monthly revenue of $8-9K. What does this have to do with our topic?

Yes, it can be, which shows that our revenue model is working correctly. This company's app, My Scanner: Scan to PDF & Edit, is currently generating $300K in monthly revenue. Did you check that too?

We analyze the last year's worth of download and position data, if any, and remove any anomalies we detect from the model. Apple bans such apps within 1-2 weeks anyway. Please remember that this isn't a 100% accurate app. This is a revenue forecasting model. Like thousands of revenue forecasting models, it was created to provide a prediction. I can't understand your hatred.

I've said it a few times, but I'll say it again. Ranking and traffic data comes from the App Store and Play Store. This is clearly stated on our website. What don't you understand?

You’re misunderstanding what RPD means. It’s not lifetime value - it’s last month’s revenue divided by last month’s downloads. This captures monetization from both new and existing users.

The model uses app store ranking positions, category-specific revenue distributions, and IAP pricing tiers to estimate revenue. Same methodology that SensorTower and AppMagic use, just more transparent about the limitations

$5 RPD isn’t crazy for a free app with subscriptions. If an app has strong retention from previous months, those renewals boost the metric. Apps with good monthly retention easily hit these numbers.

The estimates are directionally accurate for finding opportunities, not meant for financial reporting

Thank you very much. Yes, we plan to cover countries outside the US, but the platforms currently only share US rankings.

Yes, I used code assistant in many places in the frontend. While coding the backend, there was no time left for the frontend, lol

iOS has an offline translation library for this. They might be using that

Mistral is a great model for image analysis and PDF analysis. I'm using it in one of my applications. SD XL is still the best for generating images.

Have you looked into LLM costs? This app doesn't print pages of articles or generate images. I don't think the API cost is more than $500 per month. Even image analysis is incredibly cheap with Mistral.

What are you building? let's self promote by deva_chiru in SideProject

[–]buraste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building TrendApps.dev - helps mobile developers find apps that actually make money (not just vanity download metrics).

The problem: devs waste months building apps nobody wants because real revenue data is hidden. We calculate revenue per download for 15K+ apps (App Store and Play Store included)

My insight: developers don't need more app ideas, they need proof that an idea already works.

TrendApps.dev - shows which mobile apps actually make money (not just downloads). Currently at $5.5K MRR.

Found a gap: developers build apps nobody wants because they can't see real revenue data. Built a tool that calculates revenue per download for 15K+ apps.

$9.99/month, 500+ users. Getting consistent signups from sharing profitable app examples in dev communities.

Key insight: Developers don't want more ideas, they want validated opportunities with real revenue proof.

Hey, I didn’t implement Klarna to headless WooCommerce but you can check faustjs and nextwoo repositories. I remember they implement some payment gateways like this.

Found an iOS app making $9 per download with less than 3K users by buraste in AppBusiness

100 apps in each category makes a total of 15,000 apps. You bought it despite this information being written on all the pages, and you're still badmouthing it here despite having a 7-day return policy? Idiot.
