✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: LOW
Publicly available data, including reports from Sensor Tower and Statista, do not provide specific revenue estimates for the iOS app 'Public: Invest & Trade'. While the parent company, Open to the Public Investing, Inc., has an estimated annual revenue of $174.4 million, this figure represents the entire company's revenue and cannot be directly attributed to the iOS app alone. The company generates revenue through various means, including interest on uninvested cash, fees from stock lending for short positions, rebates on certain transactions, optional user tips, and options trading.

This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
