The dating app Tinder has managed to beat Netflix as the one that gets the most revenue (without being a game) both in App Store as in Google Play. The data has been extracted from the Sensor Tower study. We can see a lot of interesting information in this report. The application has managed to increase its revenue by 40% in the first quarter of 2019, reaching 260.7 million dollars.
In the case of Netflix, this continues to drop closely to 216.3 million in Q1. Those of us who closely follow this world know that the movement of Netflix eliminating the possibility of paying the subscription through the App Store has had a lot to do with this drop in income. The change has been prompted by App Store fees on Netflix subscriptions, which now take place outside of the Apple Store.
Netflix does not pay the 15% commission from the App Store
Since December 2018 Netflix has decided to remove subscriptions from the App Store. With an estimated income of about 850 million dollars, 15% could bring Netflix's coffers about 130 million dollars. Despite this, we cannot detract from Tinder, which has seen how its revenues have risen this year Flirting is increasingly difficult and applications like Tinder let it They make it pretty easy for everyone.Here are some tricks to flirt through Tinder that could come in handy.
In the list we find applications such as YouTube in fifth place and many applications of Chinese origin such as Tencent Video, Line, Line Manga, etc All of these are generating a large amount of money but in the West they are not widely used or well known. Another curious fact is that the most downloaded applications do not coincide with the ones that obtain the most income, with only Netflix on both lists.
What about games? Which earn more income?
Unlike applications, in mobile games things change a bit, although we also don't see a relationship between the most downloaded and the most enter. We find titles like Honor of Kings, Fate, Monster Strike or even the mythical Candy Crush Saga as the titles that earn the most money.We can even appreciate that Pokémon Go continues to be one of the ones that is making the most money. Finally, in tenth position, we find PUBG Mobile as one of the revelation titles of the year.
The study is important, as it helps us see reality and understand that an application with many downloads does not necessarily have to be generating a lot of income.
