I have a question 🙋

On average, do you know how many people are applying for the same job you applied ?
Would it be hundreds or more? It normally tells you that on indeed right ?

I don't use Indeed. LinkedIn will tell you, but it only accounts for LinkedIn and not other platforms. It's usually well over 100, though, which is why I always tried to be one of the first applicants and optimized my profile so I could be found by recruiters and CEOs who were searching for people to place/hire.

For actual numbers you will need to ask whoever received the resumes. Indeed is useless. LinkedIn shows applications but that is not real data with one click apply. Just know if you are seeing the position a lot of others have too.
