✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: MEDIUM
The iOS app "Book of the Month" is estimated to generate between $5.2 million and $6.8 million in monthly revenue, with a central estimate of $6 million, leading to an annual estimate of $72 million. This estimate is based on the company's reported membership of over 400,000 in 2025 and an average monthly subscription price of $13-$17, as direct iOS app revenue data is not publicly available. The revenue figures reflect the overall subscription service, which is primarily accessed and managed through the app.

★☆☆☆☆ Audio Books Don’t Save Place
I like almost everything about BOTM but their audiobook feature sucks. For the last several updates, what was an occasional problem has become a constant problem. It does not save your place so anytime you hit play, it restarts the whole bo…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
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.
