About this analysis
Why low confidence: only 1 rating · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.
📌 Final verdict — read this before you trust the numbers above
Intake: Calorie Counter & Log is a very early-stage iOS app in the business space with weak public traction — only 1 rating, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate.
Bottom line: treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers on this page as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
7 answers · auto-generated from this app's public dataHow much does Intake make per month?▴
