Show HN: Built a tool exposing mobile apps' best-kept secret – revenue per user

https://trendapps.dev/
2•buraste•1h ago
I spent 3 years analyzing app store data and noticed everyone tracks the wrong metric. Downloads don't matter if users don't pay. So I built TrendApps to expose what actually matters: -revenue per user-.

The problem: A meditation app with 3K users making $27K/month is more valuable than a social app with 300K users making $3K. But you'd never know this from current analytics tools.

What it does: - Estimates revenue using category rankings, download data, and market patterns - Calculates RPD (Revenue Per Download) for 15K+ apps - Filters by age (90-365 days), competition level, and category - Shows apps making real money with minimal users

Recent findings: - Flight tracker with 79 reviews: $40K/month - Reference app with 30K downloads: $80K/month - Zombie game from Hong Kong: $22 per user

The free tier analyzes 10 apps, Pro is $9.99/month for unlimited access + CSV exports.

Why I built this: Got tired of building apps nobody wanted. Now I find proven demand first, then build. My last three apps all hit profitability using this approach.
