Frequently Asked About WeChat
How much money does WeChat make on the App Store? ⌄
WeChat has an estimated App Store revenue of $118.4K per month (~$1.42M per year, $3.9K per day) with a likely range of $65.1K to $171.6K. This includes earnings from in-app purchases, subscription revenue, ads and any paid downloads - all directional estimates from public App Store signals, not private Apple financial data.
How many App Store downloads does WeChat get? ⌄
Apple does not publish exact App Store download counts. Using public ratings (80K reviews), grossing rank, category position and the standard 1:75 ratings-to-downloads ratio, Rev.now estimates about 8.8M total iOS downloads for WeChat - and roughly 3.7M monthly active users on iPhone and iPad.
Is WeChat a top grossing iOS app and what is its App Store rank? ⌄
WeChat is analyzed using App Store grossing rank, category ranking, ratings velocity, monetization model (subscription revenue, in-app purchases, paid downloads) and ad-revenue signals. Check the iOS top grossing leaderboard to see how WeChat compares to other highest-grossing iPhone and iPad apps.
How is WeChat App Store revenue estimated? ⌄
Rev.now estimates WeChat App Store revenue from public app data: estimated downloads, monthly active users (MAU), the iOS conversion rate to paying users, subscription pricing detected on the listing, in-app purchase tiers, ad monetization (eCPM × impressions × MAU) and the Social Networking category ARPU benchmark - net of Apple's 15-30% store cut.
What in-app purchases and subscriptions does WeChat offer on iOS? ⌄
WeChat offers in-app purchases on the App Store, which can include subscription tiers (weekly, monthly or annual), one-time purchases or virtual currency. Subscription revenue and IAP earnings are a major driver of the monthly revenue estimate above.
Can I compare WeChat App Store revenue with another iOS app? ⌄
Yes. Use the free compare tool to compare WeChat side-by-side with any other App Store app by estimated revenue, downloads, paying users, subscription pricing, in-app purchase tiers, grossing rank and monetization model.
Does Rev.now show exact App Store revenue for WeChat? ⌄
No - Rev.now shows estimated App Store revenue, in-app purchase earnings and subscription revenue for WeChat. Exact financial data, paying-user counts and ad income are private to Apple and the developer; Rev.now does not have access to App Store Connect or developer payouts.
