What the comparison shows

AppMagic says non-gaming apps have earned more in-app purchase revenue than mobile games since 2016.

The comparison puts mobile games in a wider contest for users’ in-app spending, rather than making games the only major category.

For mobile-game businesses, that points to competition beyond gaming, but it does not establish the size or cause of the revenue difference.
