I’ve been asking myself for months: should indie devs even bother with Android? On paper it looks obvious—Android has the bigger market share—so you’d expect more users and more opportunity. But when I started digging through Sensor Tower and comparing app after app, the pattern was honestly depressing: iOS revenue is consistently higher. You’ll see apps with similar download numbers, but iOS might be doing 80% of the revenue while Android sits at 20%. That split showed up across categories—fitness, games, education, meditation—pretty much everything I checked. Then there’s user behavior. In my experience, iOS users are simply more willing to pay for a subscription or a paywall, while Android users are more likely to look for a “watch ad” option. I even tested this with my own app, Swipe Soup: the iOS version made real money, while the Android version took me a few days to ship and basically went nowhere (even the free trials ended in billing errors). My takeaway: Android isn’t “dead,” but the approach matters. If you’re already building cross-platform (Flutter/React Native), ship both—Android can be meaningful without doubling the work. If you’re going native, I’d prioritize iOS, because your time is your most valuable asset.
