Which iPhone apps actually make the most money? Apple's top-grossing chart answers that question every day. Driven by public App Store data and updated daily, this list showcases the iOS apps driving the most revenue in the US market. Currently, 100% of today's top 100 grossing apps are free to download and monetize entirely through subscriptions and in-app purchases.
Games dominates the chart with 40 of the top 100 spots. Leading the pack: ChatGPT, YouTube, TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE. 92 of them carry a third-party revenue and download estimate for the last 30 days, shown beside each row.

Revenue and download figures below are estimates. They come from SensorTower, cover the last 30 days worldwide, are rounded, and are stated before Apple's commission. Apple publishes no per-app revenue, so no exact figure exists publicly for any app here — treat these as a way to compare apps against each other, not as anyone's accounts. A figure printed with a "<" is a floor, not a measurement. Estimates fetched .

How are apps ranked on the App Store?
App Store rankings are determined by Apple's proprietary algorithm, which evaluates multiple performance signals. While the free and paid charts focus heavily on recent download velocity and installation numbers, the top-grossing chart is driven by total revenue generated. This includes up-front purchase prices, in-app purchases (IAP), and recurring subscriptions.
Consequently, many free-to-download apps dominate this list. To understand how these apps optimize their visibility and drive conversions, developers use tools like our App Store Keyword Tool to monitor search performance and rankings. For a broader lookup, you can search our Apps Directory to view individual app metadata and historical rating trends.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest-grossing app on the App Store?
The highest-grossing app changes based on daily consumer spending, but it is typically dominated by major subscription-based entertainment platforms (like YouTube and TikTok) or high-revenue mobile games (like Roblox and Candy Crush). You can see the current top earner at the #1 position on this page.
How much revenue do top-grossing apps make?
Nobody outside Apple and the developer knows exactly. Apple publishes rank, not revenue, and App Store Connect earnings are private. The figures on this page are third-party estimates from SensorTower for the last 30 days worldwide, rounded and shown before Apple's 15–30% commission — useful for comparing apps against each other, not as an accounting figure for any one of them.
How often do App Store rankings change?
Apple updates its public App Store charts multiple times per day. Appstro refreshes its data daily to ensure you see the most current rankings, revenue estimations, and user rating trends.
Do free apps with subscriptions count as grossing?
Yes. In fact, free-to-download apps that monetize through recurring subscriptions or in-app purchases make up the vast majority of the top-grossing chart. A premium up-front price is no longer the primary driver of high earnings on iOS.
How does Apple calculate grossing rankings?
Apple's grossing algorithm calculates rankings based on the total dollar amount spent by users in the App Store over a rolling window. This includes initial app purchases, in-app purchases, and subscription renewals, minus Apple's commission (which is typically 15% to 30%).
Where can I analyze developer portfolios for these top apps?
You can click on any publisher's name in the table or visit our App Store Publishers directory to analyze complete developer portfolios, total rating counts, and aggregate metrics.
Methodology
Ranking comes straight from Apple's public top-grossing iPhone chart for the US App Store, refreshed on every daily rebuild. Revenue on this chart is driven by in-app purchases and subscriptions, not download price. The revenue and download figures beside each app are third-party estimates from SensorTower covering the last 30 days worldwide — Apple publishes no per-app revenue, so no exact figure for any app on this page exists publicly. Chart movement compares the latest daily snapshot with the one closest to seven days earlier.
Work on your own app's ranking
Every list on this page is built from public App Store data — the same source behind the App Store keyword research tool, which expands Apple's own autocomplete and scores each term by how hard the live search results look to break into. It sits alongside all 69 free App Store optimization tools here: keyword tracking, listing and screenshot teardowns, localization audits and the rest.
