- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $3K - $7K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.67★ across 1,116 reviews — strong (top 10%).
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: Insufficient signal to assess trajectory.
- ⚠️ Risk: Low — no material risk signals detected.
🎯 For competitors: Mixed picture. Worth competing if you have a clear UX or pricing edge — otherwise crowded segment.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $90K-$160K. Portfolio play ($27K/mo combined) commands premium.

✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: LOW
Publicly available data does not provide a specific revenue estimate for the iOS app "Gumtree – Buy & Sell" by Gumtree.com. While Sensor Tower estimates less than $5,000 in monthly revenue for the Australian iOS app "Gumtree: Find local ads", this figure is for a different region and likely only reflects direct in-app purchases, not the app's full revenue contribution from advertising or premium listing fees. The overall Gumtree company generates an estimated $30 million in annual revenue, primarily through premium ad placements and advertising.

🌍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.
