As of the fourth quarter of 2019, Android users were able to choose between 2.57 million apps, making Google Play the app store with biggest number of available apps. Apple's App Store was the second-largest app store with almost 1.84 million available apps for iOS.
Applications generate revenue in a number of different ways, such as charging users a small amount of money for the use of an app (an average of 1.02 U.S. dollars per app in the Apple Store), charging for access to premium features of an otherwise free app or simply selling ad space.
