Google One, the search giant’s equivalent to Amazon Prime, emerged as the surprise leader at SensorTower’s list of the best Android apps worldwide for the first half of 2020.
For the first time, Sensor Tower split its list to provide a more granular perspective on the most lucrative applications. While Tinder rules the overall leaderboard on both the App Store and Google Play, earning around $ 433 million, the dating app plays a second fiddle for Google One in the Android market.
We reached out to Sensor Tower for more information on the estimated revenue generated by Google One, but it is likely to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Google One
The subscription service costs as little as $ 19.99 / £ 15.99 / AU $ 24.99 per year (for a total of 100GB) and is mainly used as an add-on cloud storage, beyond the 15 GB that Google users get by default. Other options up to 30TB are available, costing a staggering $ 2,999 per year.
For Google One to lead the ranking, at least 10 million Android users must have purchased subscriptions in the past six months (55,000 per day), which represents less than 1% of the user base of Google’s operating system, the most popular in the world.
Google One allows you to add up to five family members, talk to Google experts, and enjoy additional benefits from other Google products, such as special hotel prices, Google Play credits, and more.
However, you still don’t get YouTube Premium (which will cost another $ 18 per month), nor YouTube Music.
