Which app is bigger?
Australian Financial Review and X are compared inside News with monthly revenue, downloads, rating, review volume, keyword footprint, category placement and range context. X leads on monthly downloads in the current readout, and X wins the revenue readout (the exact figures open with the paid plan), X wins demand, X has deeper review volume, and X has the larger tracked keyword footprint. The better app depends on the job: choose the revenue leader when you need monetization proof, choose the download leader when reach matters, and choose the higher-rated or deeper-reviewed app when market trust is the constraint. Read both ranges rather than only the midpoint, then open the category hub and related collections to see whether this pair is an outlier or a normal category pattern.
