Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and notes thereto included in the 2025 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ended December 31, 2026, or any other future period.
Consolidation
A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and the presentation of net earnings (loss) is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company’s noncontrolling interest represents substantive profit-sharing arrangements and profit and losses are attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests using an attribution method.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company’s significant estimates relate to asset impairments, potential obligations associated with legal contingencies, the fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, tax receivable agreements, and income taxes.
These estimates are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions, judgments and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, cash on hand, cash in electronic money accounts, overnight deposits and investments in money market funds.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has classified its cash held in Russia as restricted cash due to the sanctions imposed by the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, which is included in “Other noncurrent assets” within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
During each annual impairment test, the Company has the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment includes, but is not limited to: (i) deterioration in macroeconomic conditions or changes in market competitiveness; (ii) significant changes in cash flows and cost factors; (iii) changes in planned use of the assets; (iv) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and (v) a significant change in the Company’s market capitalization relative to its net book value.
As a result of the qualitative assessment, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it will perform a quantitative test by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company records a goodwill impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Alternatively, the Company is permitted to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative assessment.
The Company considers both the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis. The market approach utilizes comparable public company information and key valuation multiples and considers a market control premium and guideline transactions, when applicable. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in management’s estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the Company's forecasted financial results, the revenue growth rate, discount rate and valuation multiples. Additionally, adverse macroeconomic factors, including but not limited to, slower economic growth, a higher cost of borrowing, inflationary pressures, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company tests intangible assets that are not amortized (i.e., indefinite-lived brands) for impairment at the asset level. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset is impaired, it performs a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the fair value, which is based on expected future cash flows, exceeds the carrying value, the asset is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.
Long-lived Assets and Definite-lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived Assets and Definite-lived Intangible Assets
Held and used long-lived assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of developed technology and definite-lived brands, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets or asset group may not be recoverable. An asset group is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The carrying value of such assets or asset groups is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets or asset group exceeds its fair value. The remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are routinely reviewed and, if the estimate is revised, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
Share Repurchase Program
Share Repurchase Program
Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program are held as treasury stock until retirement and reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon retirement, the share repurchases will reduce Class A common stock based on the par value of the shares and reduce its capital surplus for the excess of the repurchase price over the par value. In the event the Company still has an accumulated deficit balance, the excess over the par value will be applied to “Additional paid-in capital.” Once the Company has retained earnings, the excess will be charged entirely to retained earnings.
Direct costs and excise tax obligations will be included in the cost of the repurchased shares in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Reduction to the excise tax obligation associated with subsequent issuance of shares will be reflected as an adjustment to the excise tax previously recorded.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is primarily derived in the form of recurring subscriptions and in-app purchases. Subscription revenue is presented net of taxes, refunds and credit card chargebacks. This revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period. Revenue from lifetime subscriptions is deferred over the average estimated expected period of the subscriber relationship, which is currently estimated to be twelve months. Revenue from the purchase of in-app features is recognized based on usage and estimated breakage revenue associated with unused in-app purchases. Unused in-app purchase fees expire based on the terms of the underlying agreement and are recognized as revenue when it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. The Company also earns revenue from online advertising and partnerships. Online advertising revenue is recognized when an advertisement is displayed. Revenue from partnerships is recognized according to the contractual terms of the partnership.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no customers representing greater than 10% of total revenue.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of advance payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of the performance obligation is one year or less.
Foreign Currencies
Foreign Currencies
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The financial position and operating results of foreign entities whose primary economic environment is based on their local currency are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. These local currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses of these operations are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 in the first quarter of 2026 prospectively. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard requires breaking down expenses into specific categories, such as employee compensation and costs related to depreciation and amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2027 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU replaces the current stage-based capitalization model with a principles-based approach that requires capitalization of costs once management has authorized and commits to funding a software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Hedge Accounting Improvements, which amends hedge accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 by addressing five specific hedge accounting issues, including similar risk assessments for cash flow hedges and expanded eligible hedged risk components. ASU 2025-09 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2027 and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270)—Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the scope, form, and content of interim financial statements and consolidates interim disclosure requirements currently required under GAAP. The ASU also introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose material events and changes since the end of the most recent annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
