2026 AI App Revenue Report

3 hooks from the report

1. Weekly is the new monthly. 56% of the apps with visible App Store pricing (22 of 39) sell a weekly plan — at a median $6.49/week.
2. Two ‘verified’ sites, two numbers. 14 apps and products in our data show conflicting revenue across listing sites that each label their figures as verified. Debatium: $22.3k MRR on whatsthe.app, $14.9k on verifiedrevenues.app.
3. Cal AI’s founder posts give two exit numbers. The acquisition post says Cal AI “broke $50m in ARR”. A later post by the same co-founder says it sold “at $40M ARR”.

Figures are source-labeled from TrustMRR, whatsthe.app and verifiedrevenues.app (captured 2026-10-18) or founder posts on X; not audited by WorkAINow. Opt-in sample — not the whole market.
