Some did the math - the price Facebook would need to charge every user would be $11 a month. Sorry I can't remember WHERE I read it though.

- dzonga 6y agoit's from their quarterly financial reports. rough estimate. for developing markets they generate about 2$ per user. and in developed markets like $7 per user.
- ign0ramus 6y agoThat number seems wildly off. Facebook's annual revenue for 2020 was $85.97 Billion[1]. With 2.8 Billion monthly active users, they'd need to charge $3 a month to exceed that number.

- ign0ramus 6y agoThanks for digging it up! It did help. As Slymon99 had pointed out, Facebook doesn't earn the same amount from each user. Something I hadn't taken into account.

- dotancohen 6y agoWhen Facebook bought WhatsApp for 20 Billion USD, WhatsApp had about 1 Billion users, or slightly less. So that's at least 20 USD per user that Facebook paid.
