What is already selling
Every company in this space, cheapest to enter against first.
Download counts are the vanity metric of this market and they are not on this page. What is here is what each app spends to acquire and what that spend implies about the subscription revenue behind it, which is the only version of the number that survives contact with the app store’s own economics.
How this list is drawn: Product type classified as a mobile app. Ordered by thirty-day ad spend, lowest first - what it costs to be visible against them, not who is biggest.

Revenue is modelled from measured ad spend, not reported by the company. The band beside each figure is the range the model produced and it is wide on purpose - the method page shows the arithmetic and says where it stops being reliable.
Cost of entry
Cheapest door in: $2,066 a month.
Huunooapp - app where local tradespeople and makers list skills to be found nearby - is modelled at $26.7K a month on the smallest advertising budget in this space. That is the number to beat, and it is measured rather than claimed.

Where the buyers are
The markets this space is actually being sold into.
Reach-weighted across every advertiser in the cut, so one small company with a lopsided country mix cannot move the picture.
Which way it is moving
Budgets up, budgets down.
An advertiser raising a budget is the least ambiguous signal available from outside a company. It costs real money and nobody does it against a product that is not converting.
3 of 8 increased spend over the last thirty days; 2 cut it.
