Are using Median and IQR better than Mean and Standard Deviation for non-normal distributions?

I want to see which of my channels, Facebook, Google Search, Instagram, etc, have more or less order value variance. The idea here is channels with more variance are less desirable as my income would be more volatile.

Better *for what purpose*?

Medians and means tell us different things, as do IQRs and SDs. What do *you* want to know about the data?

To carry this to an extreme, if your purpose is "I want to report the median and IQR" then that will always be better than the mean and standard deviation.
