RaptDrama
This research note is kept separate from the app profile so the main page stays focused on ranking data.
One-line positioning
RaptDrama is a paid short-drama app launched in late 2025, offering 1-3 minute vertical episodes monetized through coins and subscription passes, with rapid growth in Indonesia in 2026. Store and official-site records identify its operator as American Zhilian Information Technology LLC, a US-registered entity with limited public background.
Product & company
Store records (iOS/Android) and the official website consistently identify the operator as American Zhilian Information Technology LLC, a US-registered limited liability company whose listed address is a Wyoming registered-agent address (30 N Gould St, Sheridan). No equity or operational link to any Chinese company is visible in public records; the team background cannot be verified.
Business model & format
Paid model: free to download with limited free previews; episodes are unlocked with coins (in-app purchases), and subscription passes (weekly/monthly, including Daily Reward Pass and Premium Pass tiers) are offered. IAP pricing ranges roughly $9.99-$39.99, and some episodes can be unlocked by watching ads.
Growth & market
Launched on Google Play around September-October 2025, RaptDrama accumulated roughly 500K-800K installs within about six months, with around 160K downloads in the 30 days to April 2026. Indonesia is the primary market (high Google Play Entertainment ranking there; iOS peaked at #51 Top Grossing in Indonesia). User ratings are low, with complaints about the payment experience.
Risks & watchpoints
The company background is opaque: American Zhilian Information Technology LLC lists only a US registered-agent address with no auditable entity details, and the team behind it has no public footprint; the official website provides only a privacy summary and asks users to request the full policy by email. User feedback mentions payment issues such as subscriptions stopping working and difficulty getting refunds, plus disputes over mature content.
