It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Mario Kart World 150cc Knockout Tour guide – how to easily win - Nintendo Everything
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Audible – ~550,000
Literie – ~19,000
Cosmic Dawn with Nobel Laureate John Mather - NASA (.gov)
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
