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:
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Literie – ~19,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
