Apple's US top charts, captured every morning. Grossing rank is Apple's own revenue ordering. We model it into an honest MRR estimate for every app and flag the niche moneymakers worth copying instead of the giants everyone already knows.

    *MRR is a modeled point estimate, never a measured figure: computed from grossing rank, ratings momentum, paid-chart position and verified anchors, recalibrated weekly, with our measured error published on the methodology page. The full modeled range sits behind every number (hover it, or open the app's estimator breakdown). Apps without enough signal show no number at all.
