How we calculated this

Each forecast combines App Store rating, ratings count, monetisation model, pricing tier, IAP signals and ad-supported flag. The base estimate is then multiplied by a per-category scaling factor learned from apps with founder-verified MRR. Every number on this page comes from public APIs and bumetric's own snapshot history.

Full methodology covers input variables, accuracy bands per category and how we treat apps without comparable anchors. See also the live data on Kickstarter's tracker page for current rating, reviews and snapshot timeline.
