How much money can an Android app make from ads?
A typical free Android app earns roughly $0.50–$3.00 per 1,000 daily active users per day from in-app advertising, which works out to about $15–$90 per 1,000 DAU per month. The spread is enormous because earnings are the product of three numbers: how many ad impressions each user sees, what advertisers pay for that audience, and what share of requests actually get filled. A casual game in the United States showing rewarded video can clear $5 per 1,000 DAU per day; the same game in a low-CPM market showing only banners may make $0.10. Ad income also ramps — a brand-new app earns very little in month one because ad networks need install volume and retention data before they bid seriously on its inventory.
