Is Maraca profitable?

With estimated build cost $120K and monthly revenue $5.0K, Maraca looks break-even-grade — payback period sits around 2.0 years. Profitability also depends on paid-acquisition spend and refund rate which the public model doesn't see.

How many users does Maraca have?

Estimated audience: ~51K lifetime downloads, ~6K monthly active users, and ~2K 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.
