1. That makes up a sizeable share of all apps
2. Those apps actually over-perform versus the overall app population (if you’d take “all apps” they’d do slightly worse)
There are 181,000 apps with subscriptions out there, not millions
That number (as the “in general RevenueCat apps overperform” statement) are based on the data from app performance tracking companies like data.ai, Apptopia, Appfigures, etc - it’s these companies jobs to index apps and their performance. How those work and how that compares to where our data comes from is worth a whole seperate post
I work at RevenueCat (shared that info before, by the way, + this is the same handle I use in most other places)
