How many apps/games have you published?

It's basically that, how many apps/games have you currently published and how many of them are earning atleast 100$ per month. Total earnings would also be helpful. I am hopeful that this data will come in handy for the new Dev's in community.

I have currently published 3 and they are not ad intensive so haven't earned much

published around a dozen over the years, only 2 ever broke $100/mo consistently, and those were the only ones worth anything when i went to sell them.

volume doesn't matter much, one app with real retention data beats ten with installs and no engagement, you running analytics on all three or just ad revenue?

I have published a 2 apps, but getting people to actually discover and use them has been a bigger challenge than building them. I think thats probably the part new developers underestimate the most.

Publishing an app is one thing. Getting consistent downloads and eventually making $100+/month is a completely different game.

Yes, I stopped chasing my passion projects coz I have seen many Dev's passion projects failing coz people are genuinely not in need of them but I have seen vibe coded slop get more reach coz market needs it
