TikTok or PUBG Mobile- Which is on the top?

During the pandemic, in search of something to do, people install different apps through Google Play Store and Apple Store. Now with the vaccine rollout, app installs on the Google and Apple platforms are down slightly (1.2% and 2.1%, respectively, year over year), but revenues have gone up. However, TikTok and PUBG are the two most loved apps. According to the report revealed by Sensor Tower, TikTok becomes the highest earning app, whereas, PUBG Mobile is still on the top of the mobile gaming world.

The Apple store is still raking in the most money, an impressive $21.5 billion (+13.2% compared to last year). However, Google’s platform is catching up as it took in $12.1 billion (+18.6%).

Data from SensorTower reveals that TikTok was the highest-earning app globally across both app stores in Q3. It recently hit 3 billion total installs. It also becomes the first non-Facebook app to do so.

TikTok was the top app in Apple’s store, but not in Google’s – there the search giant’s own Google One app holds the #1 spot. Piccoma shot up to the #2 spot overall with a 130% growth. YouTube and Disney+ are in the Top 5 as well. Below are the overall rankings as well as the per-app store.

Mobile gaming is heating up too, with users spending 7.7% more cash than Q3 last year – a whopping $22.4 billion. Most of that was spent in the Google Play Store ($13.1 billion) with iOS trailing ($9.3 billion).
