    FAQs

    • How much can a mobile app sell for?

      The value of a mobile app is determined by metrics like revenue, active users, market position, and growth potential. Apps generating steady revenue, particularly through subscriptions or in-app purchases, often command higher multiples. Apps can sell for a wide range, from a few thousand dollars for simpler apps to millions for high-earning, scalable apps in lucrative niches. On Acquire.com, you’ll see a similar range of asking prices from four figures on the low end, up to seven figures on the high. (Sign up for a free account).

    • How much should a mobile app cost?

      Mobile app development costs can range from a few thousand dollars for a simple app to hundreds of thousands for more complex, feature-rich applications. Factors such as the number of platforms (iOS, Android), the complexity of the design, and whether third-party integrations are required all impact the final cost. Additionally, ongoing updates, bug fixes, and scaling considerations may increase long-term costs. Please consult a mobile app development expert for more defined factors and costs.

    • Are mobile apps still profitable?

      Yes, mobile apps can still be profitable, especially those that target a clear market need and have a sustainable revenue model anchored against in-app purchases, subscriptions, or ad revenue. The profitability of an app often depends on its ability to attract and retain users, as well as the effectiveness of its monetization strategy. Popular apps in the fitness, gaming, and finance sectors, for example, continue to see strong profitability.

    • How much does the average mobile app make?

      It’s challenging to define how much an “average” mobile app makes, as revenue depends on a multitude of factors like user base size, engagement, monetization approach, competition, etc. Indie app makers can generate anywhere between a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month. However, top-performing apps, especially in lucrative categories that are engaged more regularly like gaming, fitness, or finance, can make much more.

    • Do apps make money per download?

      While some apps charge for downloads, most mobile apps are free to download and rely on alternative revenue streams such as in-app purchases, advertising, or subscriptions. As a result, revenue generation happens after the app is downloaded, through ongoing user engagement and monetization of additional features or services.

    • How much is my mobile app worth?

      To determine how much your mobile app is worth, you’ll need to assess key factors like its revenue, user engagement/activation, and market position. Apps with strong monthly recurring revenue, high user retention, and a scalable business model tend to receive higher valuations. Typically, an app is valued based on a multiple of its earnings, but the exact value will depend on the specific attributes of the app and its growth potential.
