Category median
Category median is the middle value for a category metric such as monthly revenue or monthly downloads.
Appdex example
Appdex category pages show median revenue and downloads so the #1 app does not define the entire market by itself.
How to read it
In Appdex, Category median is useful when reading an app page, a category hub, a direct comparison and a benchmark guide together. Do not read the term as a standalone score. Compare it with mrr, confidence band, velocity, monthly downloads, monthly revenue range, rating depth, category median and recent growth momentum before deciding whether an app is a leader, a niche opportunity or simply a large but weakly monetized product.
