Audible – ~550,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
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:
'Zombie' Fungus Caught Bursting From Host Bodies 99 Million Years Ago - ScienceAlert
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
A Stunning Double Elimination! Who Went Home on 'Love Island USA' 2025 Tonight? - AOL.com
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Literie – ~19,000
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
