NetShort

The most expensive ticket in the format

An oversized gold-edged ticket standing upright, its torn stub on a velvet cushion
~$180M ARR · $29.99/week · Singapore
Published by NETSTORY PTE. LTD. out of Singapore, NetShort runs the steepest price in the category — $29.99 a week on the App Store, against a coin path where a 68-episode series lands around $50. Roughly $15M a month and ~$180M annualised, growing 171% quarter over quarter, and one of four apps that together hold just over half the Gulf's monthly users (Omdia / Media City Qatar, May 2026). India is its fastest lane: +193% month over month in January 2026.
