- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $906 - $5665/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.44★ across 126 reviews — below category median.
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: Insufficient signal to assess trajectory.
- ⚠️ Risk: High — 6.1% refund mentions, scam/fraud mentions detected, bug mentions above category norm.
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 12-22× monthly = $27K-$49K. Portfolio play ($18K/mo combined) commands premium. Discount applied for operational risk..

🌍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.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
📝 About this app
Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other cloud services don’t offer built-in tools to find and remove duplicates.
If you store many files in the cloud, it’s easy to lose control and waste space. Automatic mobile backups make this problem even worse.
DeDuplicate scans your cloud storage, finds identical files, and lets you remove the extra copies to free up space.
How it works:
1) Log into your account.
2) Choose one or more folders (or the entire drive) and start the scan. Scan time depends on the NUMBER of files, not their size.… View full description on the official store →
