How much does Discovery make per month?

Based on our ML-calibrated revenue forecast, Discovery 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 Discovery profitable?

With estimated build cost $210K and monthly revenue $5.0K, Discovery 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 Discovery have?

Estimated audience: ~1.8M lifetime downloads, ~130K monthly active users, and ~52K 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.

Is Discovery still actively maintained?

Maintenance status: Active (5% abandonment risk). Last shipped version was 28 days ago. The risk score combines time-since-last-update with Editor's Choice / curated featuring + user-base maturity adjustments.

How much would Discovery sell for?

Estimated acquisition value: $75K (marketplace range $75K – $100K). Calculated as 17× monthly revenue using the standard multiple for the detected monetization model + adjustments for age, rating quality and category demand.
