- ac29 9y agoGoogle makes single-digit billions in revenue from the Android App Store. While not explicitly broken out, the info is in their annual report [0], where "other revenues" are a bit over 10B USD (>10% of total revenue): "Google other revenues consist primarily of revenues and sales from: • Apps, in-app purchases, and digital content in the Google Play store; • Hardware; • Licensing-related revenue; and • Service fees received for our Google Cloud offerings." As an aside, the risks section is surprisingly interesting and honest. A recommended read.
