    Methodology

    How to use these estimates

    Apple publishes no per-app revenue, so no tool — us included — has exact figures. GetAppNiche generates these labeled estimates with a proprietary multi-signal model calibrated across market-wide historical observations. Guidance for evaluating confidence lives in how the revenue checker works and what app revenue estimation is; store-wide context lives in the State of iOS App Niches 2026 and the iOS App Pricing Study 2026.

    What is the #1 app on the App Store?

    On Apple's US Top Grossing chart on October 22, 2026, #1 is ChatGPT. It also depends on what you rank by: revenue or downloads. In our data on October 22, 2026, ChatGPT leads on both revenue and downloads; this page shows both top 20s.

    What are the most profitable apps?

    No store publishes app profit: development costs, ad spend and Apple's commission (typically 15–30% of in-app spending) differ for every developer. Revenue is the closest signal, so this page ranks apps by revenue. A high-grossing app is not necessarily the most profitable one.

    Which iOS app makes the most money?

    By our estimate, ChatGPT leads the App Store at roughly $106M/month (snapshot October 22, 2026). Every modeled figure is generated by GetAppNiche's proprietary multi-signal model — Apple publishes no per-app revenue — so treat it as directional, not audited. The full top-20 by estimated revenue is on this page and updates daily.

    How much do the top iOS apps make?

    The top-20 iOS apps by estimated revenue range from about $22M/month at position #20 up to roughly $106M/month at #1 (estimates, snapshot October 22, 2026). For what typical — not top-chart — apps earn, see our data study across 1M+ apps: about 2.3% clear an estimated $1,000/month.

    How accurate are these revenue estimates?

    They are estimates, not audited figures. Apple does not publish per-app revenue, so every tool in this market models it. GetAppNiche uses a proprietary multi-signal model calibrated across market-wide historical observations and labels estimates everywhere. Use them for comparing apps and sizing niches, not for accounting.
