A $50k IOS game grossing $1m per month

By on April 25, 2012

Have you heard of Design This Home? I hadn’t.

But it’s in the top 5 of the Top Grossing Apps in the UK, Canada, Australia and Ireland, with 300,000 DAUs and is “set to gross $1m per month worldwide”.

Not bad for a game made by three full-time team members and a cost of around $50,000.

I’m not sure how they got to the position, but the company has other apps with a total of 10 million installs, so I’m guessing that there was a heavy element of cross-promotion from other apps. If you you know how they grew, do let me know.
