Text Expander - Keyboard
Why low confidence: only 24 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.

ℹ️ Honest verdict for low-signal apps
Text Expander - Keyboard is a small / niche iOS app in the utilities space with weak public traction — only 24 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate. Treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers below as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
Text Expander - Keyboard is an iOS app from Nikolai Rodionov in the Utilities category, currently rated 4.3★ across 24 ratings. Initial signal reads as largely positive sentiment, users highlighting consistency and feature depth.
Quality Score is 50: Solid (established niche player). For a Utilities app, that means established niche player. The full BU Investment Matrix below scores 8 dimensions including monetisation, growth, and operational risk.
