Frequently asked questions

What is the highest-grossing news app right now?

In Peekly's August 7, 2026 dataset, X ranks first among qualifying news app listings, with estimated monthly store revenue of $13.0M.

Are these news app revenue figures official?

No. App stores do not publish revenue by app. Peekly labels these values as estimates derived from public store rankings, download signals, monetization data and daily observations.

Why can the same product appear twice?

Peekly ranks store listings. A product available on both the App Store and Google Play can appear once per store because each listing has separate rankings, downloads and revenue signals.

How often is this category ranking updated?

Peekly refreshes its underlying app data daily and regenerates the public category ranking from the latest available observations.
