How much does Bible make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, Bible earns approximately $700K/mo. This is a US-storefront-equivalent estimate; global revenue can be several times larger for internationally-distributed apps. See the methodology page for the full formula and confidence bands.

With estimated build cost $135K and monthly revenue $700K, Bible looks highly profitable — pays back its build investment in under a month at the current run-rate. Profitability also depends on paid-acquisition spend and refund rate which the public model doesn't see.

How many users does Bible have?

Estimated audience: ~1400.5M lifetime downloads, ~139.0M monthly active users, and ~27.5M daily active users. Derived from ratings count × category installs-per-rating × age decay. US-storefront-equivalent — global audience can be 5-10× larger for internationally-distributed apps.

What is Bible built with?

Our heuristic places Bible on the Native iOS (Swift / UIKit) stack (Medium confidence, 60%). Signals: app bundle size, category context, store-description markers, release-date era. We don't disassemble binaries. Alternative possibilities: React Native, Flutter.

Is Bible still actively maintained?

Maintenance status: Active (5% abandonment risk). Last shipped version was 1 months ago. The risk score combines time-since-last-update with Editor's Choice / curated featuring + user-base maturity adjustments.

How much would Bible sell for?

Estimated acquisition value: $15.5M (marketplace range $11.5M – $20.5M). Calculated as 22× monthly revenue using the standard multiple for the detected monetization model + adjustments for age, rating quality and category demand. Calibrated against 2024-2026 Flippa / Acquire.com / MicroAcquire closed-deal medians.

When was Bible last updated?

Bible last shipped a new version on 2026-09-02 — 1 months ago. This is the date Apple / Google last accepted a new build, not a content-only push.

Bible is published by Life.Church on the Apple App Store. See the full publisher portfolio (other apps by the same developer) via the More by developer block on the product page above.
