✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: MEDIUM
The GoPass iOS app, which facilitates ticket sales for DART, The T, DCTA, and several other North American transit agencies, is estimated to generate between $1.5 million and $2.8 million in monthly revenue, leading to an annual estimate of $18 million to $33 million. This estimate is based on DART's projected annual passenger revenue of approximately $41.8 million and the app's 136,000 monthly active users across all platforms and agencies, with an assumption that iOS users represent about half of the app's total active users.

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
