Quartz operates editions globally, outside of the United States and Japan, including in the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Africa, and India. The Quartz website and newsletters began as free digital news publications with no paywalls nor registration requirements. In 2018, it launched a paid membership product; in 2019, a paywall limited users to read 5 articles per month after its sale to the Japanese company Uzabase, which also has paywalls on many of its Japanese websites.

Quartz targets high-earning readers, calling itself a "digitally native news outlet for business people in the new global economy". Sixty percent of its readers access the site via mobile devices, and nearly half of its readers are outside the United States.

In August 2017, Quartz's website saw more than 22 million unique visitors. More than 700,000 people subscribe to its roster of email newsletters, which includes its flagship Daily Brief.

Quartz made around $30 million in revenue in 2016, and employed 175 people. The same year, Harvard's Nieman Lab described Quartz as "among the fastest-growing and most closely watched digital news sites".

In 2017, revenue decreased to $27.6 million as advertising shrank. Uzabase purchased the organization for $86 million.
