How much does The Checkbook make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, The Checkbook earns approximately $200/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 The Checkbook profitable?

With estimated build cost $105K and monthly revenue $200, The Checkbook looks well below break-even — current monthly revenue is much smaller than the estimated build cost. Profitability also depends on paid-acquisition spend and refund rate which the public model doesn't see.

How many users does The Checkbook have?

Estimated audience: ~46K lifetime downloads, ~12K monthly active users, and ~4K 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.

⚠️ Risk: Low — no material risk signals detected.

🎯 For competitors: Mixed picture. Worth competing if you have a clear UX or pricing edge — otherwise crowded segment.

💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $3K-$6K. Portfolio play ($42K/mo combined) commands premium.
