The short answer
Momentum Chrome extension revenue isn't public, so any exact monthly figure you see is a guess. What is public: the extension lists 2,000,000 users and a 4.49 rating from 13,744 ratings, it was first published in October 2013, and it sells Momentum Plus for $39.95 a year. The useful lessons come from how it charges, not from a revenue number.
- Momentum's revenue is private. Treat estimates as guesses.
- Public facts: 2,000,000 users, 4.49 from 13,744 ratings, live since 2013.
- Momentum Plus costs $39.95 a year, billed annually.
- It charges for a daily habit that already exists.
Some shops sell you one big thing. Others sell you a small coffee every morning for years.
Momentum is the coffee shop. It sits in your new tab, which you open dozens of times a day, and it asks for a small yearly fee.
Every claim about Momentum Chrome extension revenue is a guess, but how it charges is public.
Momentum Chrome extension revenue: what's public, and what isn't
Here's everything we can check, with where it came from. Google's metrics page notes the store's Users stat counts installations, not active use.
| Fact | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Users on listing | 2,000,000 (rounded by the store) | Ext Watch crawl, 3 Oct 2026 |
| Rating | 4.49 from 13,744 ratings | Ext Watch crawl, 3 Oct 2026 |
| First published | 2 October 2013 | Store listing via our crawl |
| Last store update | 18 September 2026 (version 2.27.7) | Ext Watch crawl |
| Paid plan | Momentum Plus, $39.95/year | momentumdash.com/plus, 3 Oct 2026 |

You'll find blog posts and threads quoting a monthly revenue for Momentum. Unless the founders published it with proof, it's a back-of-envelope sum: users times a guessed conversion rate times price.
Never repeat a revenue figure you can't trace to the founder. Our guide to making money with Chrome extensions shows the checks to run instead.
Lesson 1: charge for a habit, not a feature
The new tab is the habit. People open it whether or not Momentum exists. Momentum just made that moment nicer, then charged for extras on top.
Ask: what do your users already do daily that your extension sits inside? Ten big paid extensions show which habits others chose.
The Workflow & Planning category page has the dated counts if you want to check this yourself.
Lesson 2: keep the free version genuinely good
Momentum's free tier is the reason it has 13,744 ratings (as of 3 Oct 2026). A crippled free version gets uninstalled before anyone sees the paid one.
Lesson 3: a small yearly price lowers the bar
$39.95 a year is pitched on its site as about ten cents a day. A low yearly price with a money-back promise is easy to say yes to, and one payment a year means fewer cancellation moments.
Lesson 4: keep shipping for years
First published in 2013, updated in September 2026. Thirteen years of updates is rare. As of 3 Oct 2026, 847 extensions in our crawl with 50,000 or more users hadn't had a store update in over a year.
Momentum isn't one of them.
Lesson 5: ratings follow care
A 4.49 average across 13,744 ratings (3 Oct 2026) is steady praise, earned over a long time. That's a lifetime average, not a recent trend, but it's hard to fake at that size.
What not to copy
Don't copy the new-tab idea itself. That spot is crowded, and you'd be fighting a 13-year head start. Copy the shape: a daily moment, a strong free tier, a small yearly fee.

We're biased, but Ext Watch's extensions directory lets you find other daily-habit tools in a category and compare their ratings and update history before you pick your moment.
Name the daily moment your tool lives in. If you can't, start there.
