  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Golf + Sports priced under $5. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats Golf and trails Sports; priced under $5 it is level with Golf and is level with Sports.
