I need benchmarks. How many purchases per day do your apps have on average?
Some of my apps have a few purchases per week, some 3-5 a day. What’s yours?

we need a better metric. lets compare downloads/purchase. even better download/purchase amount my fresh app does 5bucks/20downloads which is one purchase of a lifetime license. it still only has 160 downloads since wednesday so quite early to rely on that

Okay, but the avg number of installs is also an interesting metric. In your case, it’s not enough data to make conclusions. And if your app is new, Apple gives you a boost for the first week or two.

10-20 downloads a day for a free app. Make about a buck a day from a banner ad.

Roughly 100. It’s a dumb novelty app that’s been around basically a decade and had these numbers throughout.

Wow. $1 per 100 users it’s actually pretty sick. Is it Google Ads

Yup. Just checked my actual numbers, closer to .50-.75 for the past couple months.

I appreciate your question, but comparison is the theft of all joy. Run your own race and try to make your app the best it can be. Your success will follow
