❓ Frequently Asked Questions
10 answers · auto-generated from this app's public dataHow much does LinkedIn make per month?▴
Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, LinkedIn earns approximately $1.1M/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.
Is LinkedIn profitable?▴
With estimated build cost $125K and monthly revenue $1.1M, LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn have?▴
Estimated audience: ~90.0M lifetime downloads, ~11.5M monthly active users, and ~2.3M 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.

Maintenance status: Active (5% abandonment risk). Last shipped version was 7 days ago. The risk score combines time-since-last-update with Editor's Choice / curated featuring + user-base maturity adjustments.
