How much does AutoCAD make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, AutoCAD earns approximately $1.5M/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 AutoCAD profitable?

With estimated build cost $195K and monthly revenue $1.5M, AutoCAD 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 AutoCAD have?

Estimated audience: ~325K lifetime downloads, ~19K monthly active users, and ~8K 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 AutoCAD built with?

Our heuristic places AutoCAD on the Native iOS (Swift / UIKit) stack (Medium confidence, 55%). Signals: app bundle size, category context, store-description markers, release-date era. We don't disassemble binaries. Alternative possibilities: React Native, Flutter.

Is AutoCAD still actively maintained?

Maintenance status: Active (15% abandonment risk). Last shipped version was 2 months ago. The risk score combines time-since-last-update with Editor's Choice / curated featuring + user-base maturity adjustments.

How much would AutoCAD sell for?

Estimated acquisition value: $29.0M (marketplace range $22.0M – $38.0M). Calculated as 19× 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 AutoCAD last updated?

AutoCAD last shipped a new version on 2026-08-04 — 2 months ago. This is the date Apple / Google last accepted a new build, not a content-only push.
