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 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.
