Twice as many app publishers reach the million-dollar mark on the App Store compared to Google Play
Still, Google Play managed to more than double its number of million-dollar publishers on its U.S. storefront last year – from 14 in 2015, to 34 in 2016.
Another interesting bit of information from the report concerns publisher focus per category, or in other words, which app categories are the most popular to develop for across iOS and Android.
As it turns out, games are much more popular on Android, among developers, at least, as they are on iOS. The statistics show that 75 percent of the million-dollar publishers on Android made their money with games, compared to 47 percent on iOS. Still, games seem to be generating the biggest revenues across both platforms.
According to Sensor Tower, Apple is likely to maintain its leading position in terms of monetization, although Google Play is also gaining some much-needed momentum with respect to this as well.
