Unity Nodes (Android): averaging ~$0.40/day per phone lately (data point + what I’m still unsure about)

Sharing a simple data point for anyone looking at “phone-based” side income.

I’ve been running Unity Nodes on spare Android devices and lately I’m averaging around ~$0.40/day per phone (it moves around, not guaranteed). With multiple phones it adds up, but it’s not totally hands-off.

What it’s like in practice:

• mostly “set it and check in sometimes”
• the app has been more stable recently, so I’m not spending much time on it now
• the real work is boring stuff: uptime, heat/charging, and keeping the connection consistent

Costs / tradeoffs:

• power + data usage (depends on your setup)
• device wear (batteries/heat)
• output isn’t perfectly predictable day to day

Questions for anyone else running it:

• are you typically above or below $0.40/day per device? what range do you see?
• what seems to matter most: uptime, SIM vs Wi-Fi, location, device model?
• does it stay consistent over weeks/months or is it noisy?
