Downloads-to-revenue ratio
Downloads-to-revenue ratio compares monthly downloads with monthly revenue to show whether an app monetizes broad or narrow demand.

A utility with fewer downloads but higher revenue can be a stronger niche than a high-download app with weak monetization.
How to read it
In Appdex, Downloads-to-revenue ratio 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 rpi, arpu, mrr, 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.
