Short excerpt
Day 39 - $1865/m.
CPAs floated up to ~$12.
Revenue clues
- Day 39 reached $1,865/m; 100 active subscriptions; stable appearance of $200 days; disclosed earlier on the same day: Day 38 about $1.8K MRR, Apple ads CPA $8.68, about 3x ROAS, budget expanded from $100/day to $150/day; subsequent CPA drifted to about $12, but the author said it was still profitable; the total profit was not disclosed
- Apple Search Ads first verifies paid demand and funnel; optimize app store page, onboarding, and paywall; test TikTok ads after exceeding $1K MRR, and expand the target from $1K MRR to $10K MRR
Summary
This is the sequential scaling of the Frederick iOS app case from $1.5K MRR to $1.865K/m. The most valuable thing is that the buying volume is more specific: CPA goes from $8.68 to about $12. The author still thinks it is profitable and starts to increase the daily budget. It’s ideal for tracking whether CPA, chargebacks, Apple’s cut, and retention erode surface MRR as a mobile subscription app moves from early ROAS validation to launch at scale.
