Is UpToDate profitable?

With estimated build cost $210K and monthly revenue $5.0K, UpToDate looks slow ROI — payback period is around 3.5 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 UpToDate have?

Estimated audience: ~435K lifetime downloads, ~27K monthly active users, and ~5K 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.
