Press release -

BookBeat reaches 500 000 paying users

The strong growth continues for BookBeat. In June, the milestone of 500 000 paying users was reached, just five years after the first broad launch in the spring of 2016. The majority is located in Sweden, Finland and Germany, which each are markets with more than 100 000 paying users. Denmark and Poland are also contributing to the milestone as a result of their good performance since their launch less than a year ago.

- Five years after the first broad launch on the Swedish market in the spring of 2016, we have now reached another great milestone on our journey. Half a million people in Europe have made BookBeat a natural part of their everyday life. I am extremely proud of the team that continues to prove that we can create growth in market after market. Indifferent of if we launch in Sweden, Finland or in a global market like Germany, we can get more than 100 000 users to pay for BookBeat in just a few years, says Niclas Sandin, CEO BookBeat.
