SixthShort
This research note is kept separate from the app profile so the main page stays focused on ranking data.
One-line positioning
SixthShort is an English-focused overseas paid short-drama platform operated by HongKong Liutuo Limited, offering 1-2 minute vertical micro-dramas across CEO romance, thriller, costume and time-travel genres; it launched on iOS and Android in 2025 and remains in its early stage with a modest user base.
Product & company
App Store, Google Play, the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy all identify HongKong Liutuo Limited (Hong Kong SAR) as the operating entity of SixthShort. No parent group or mainland Chinese company has been identified in public sources, and the ownership chain remains subject to further tracking.
Business model & format
Paid model: free to download, monetized through in-app purchases and subscriptions (the terms reference virtual goods and subscriptions; the iOS listing includes roughly 10 IAP items); Google Play lists no ads; classified as paid.
Growth & market
The app launched on iOS in July 2025 and on Android in November 2025, with roughly 190K cumulative Google Play downloads; third-party estimates put Android monthly downloads at about 8K and monthly revenue at about $20K, indicating a small scale with no observed large-scale user acquisition or media coverage, still in its early acquisition stage.
Risks & watchpoints
The parent or mainland affiliation is not disclosed in public sources and requires further tracking; the Android rating declined from about 4.2 in early data to 3.11 (as of August 2026), reflecting unstable user sentiment; the official website lacks a company page, offering limited transparency; the product's small scale leaves its growth path unclear.
