✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: HIGH
The Hoopla Digital iOS app itself does not generate direct revenue from users through in-app purchases or subscriptions, as it is a service provided free to patrons of participating libraries. The revenue for Hoopla Digital is generated through contracts with public libraries, which pay Midwest Tape, LLC (Hoopla's parent company) on a "per circulation transaction model". Estimates for Midwest Tape, LLC's annual revenue vary, with Growjo reporting approximately $15 million and Owler reporting $80 million.

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.
