It really depends on the type of app you’re offering and your user acquisition costs/strategy.

Freemium games with in-app purchases and ads worked for me but I’m sure paid apps in top categories can do amazingly well.

I recommend you do some research in sensor tower to get an idea of the landscape.

I did public transport train routing and scheduling app for my city.

Free + iAP worked for me, with around 4% conversion rate. Granted that the iAP is priced at just $0.99, most feature are free, just that viewing the train ticket price and which stations are near to certain attraction places require iAP
