What percentage of apps are successful?
By Zippia Team - Jun. 29, 2022
Only 0.5% of apps are successful. 9,999 out of 10,000 apps will fail for various reasons. Here are the most common ones cited by experts:
Below 1,000 downloads: 67.8%
Below 1,000 active users: 17.9%
No revenue or profit: 7.2%
Lack of user retention: 6.6%
Besides not having enough downloads, which is the major issue, not having active users or user retention can quickly lead to failure. After all, 71% of app users churn after three months. With that high of a percentage, it's clear that it's hard to keep users engaged.
