Original: App Ideas That Make Money: What the Data Actually Shows

Short summary

A data-driven take on profitable app ideas for indie developers, arguing that B2B industry-specific tools, fitness niches, simplified productivity apps, and utility apps are the most viable categories. The post uses CPC data and app store review patterns to identify underserved markets and recommends charging $3–30/month depending on category. It concludes with a pitch for RightIdea, a tool that aggregates these signals for idea validation.

  • •B2B tools for specific industries (plumbers, photographers) have high CPCs and willingness to pay
  • •Fitness and simplified productivity apps retain subscribers with lower acquisition costs
  • •Avoid marketplaces and direct FAANG competitors; validate with CPC, pricing, and search volume data

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
