React Native and Expo power some of the highest-earning small apps in our index. The ProvenStartups index holds 15 mobile businesses built with React Native or Expo, and the 8 that publish a monthly figure have a median of $56K/mo, against $13K/mo for Claude Code businesses and $10K/mo for Supabase. The reason is not the framework. These are consumer subscription apps run like media businesses: a hard paywall, constant price tests and paid video ads.
How we count: a business is listed only if its own interview names React Native or Expo in how the app is built. On October 17, 2026 we removed 8 entries where the stack was only *recommended* in an interview, or where the revenue belonged to a benchmark app rather than the one being built.
