Method
Only listings with the status live are counted. Products waiting for review, rejected products and removed products are left out. Each product is counted once in each table.
The month comes from the listing's recorded launch date on RadarMakers, in UTC. It does not describe the product's original release date. The table runs from the earliest recorded launch month through the snapshot month, or a later launch month if one is recorded. Months with no counted listings have a count of zero. Listings without a valid launch date appear in a separate row.
The report uses the first category with both a name and a slug as the primary category. At this snapshot, 1 product has more than one such category. Listings without a category with both fields appear in the No category row.
A named category gets its own row only when at least 3 live products are counted under it as their primary category. Counts for smaller named categories are added together in one combined row. The combined row and the No category row can contain one or two products. At this snapshot, 6 categories are combined this way.
The report uses the pricing model recorded on each listing: free, freemium, paid or open source. It does not check the label against the product's current prices. A missing or unrecognized label is counted as not stated.
Shares are rounded to whole percents, so a column may not add up to exactly 100%. The catalog is small, so a few listings can move a share by several points. These counts describe RadarMakers listings, not the wider market.
The report and CSV include aggregate counts, labels and snapshot timestamps. Neither includes individual product records, maker names, email addresses, private notes or moderation records.
