How much does Popcorn make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, Popcorn earns approximately $5.0K/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 Popcorn profitable?

With estimated build cost $190K and monthly revenue $5.0K, Popcorn looks slow ROI — payback period is around 3.2 years 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 Popcorn have?

Estimated audience: ~1.6M lifetime downloads, ~41K monthly active users, and ~16K 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.
