In measured numbers
Every figure on this page is read from a code path, not written by hand — the same discipline the product applies to your own data.
What gets measured
Three separate lists, read from Apple's own public RSS feeds. No App Store Connect access, no key, no sampling.
| List | What it ranks | Depth read |
|---|---|---|
| Top Free | Free apps by download volume | First 200 |
| Top Grossing | Apps by revenue, subscriptions included | First 200 |
| Top Paid | Paid apps by download volume | First 200 |
How it works
- Your genre comes from your listing. Apple publishes the app's primary category; we do not ask you to pick one, because a mismatch there would silently measure the wrong chart.
- Three lists per storefront, every night. The same run that measures your keywords reads the charts, so both series share a timestamp and can be read on one axis.
- Position is stored with its date. A day the feed failed is a gap, not a fall off the chart — the same three states the rest of the product uses.
- The same reading powers the public chart pages. What we measure for you is the measurement behind our open chart archive.
What you do with it
Read the other axis
A slide on every keyword while the chart climbs means the traffic is coming from somewhere that is not store search.

The chart is the one place your whole category stands in a single ordered column.

Chart position is per country, and one market usually carries far more of it than the others.
Read what moves a rankingWhat this does not tell you
Apple publishes the order. It never publishes the volume.
Two apps at the same chart position in different genres are not doing the same business, and no outside tool can turn a position into a download count:
- A rank is not a download number. An app at #40 in a small genre can out-earn one at #4 in a crowded one.
- We read your own genre, not the overall list. The overall top 200 is a permanent “not in the list” for almost every independent app.
- A failed feed is a gap, not a fall. The same three measurement states apply to charts as to keywords.
Chart position is a rank, not a download count. Apple publishes the order, never the volume behind it — and an app at #40 in a small genre can out-earn an app at #4 in a crowded one. If you want install volume you need your own App Store Connect numbers, which is a different measurement with a different connection.

Frequently asked
Do you track the overall chart or just my category?
Your category, in all three list types. The overall top 200 is dominated by the largest publishers, so for almost every app it would be a permanent "not in the list".
Does chart tracking need an App Store Connect account?
No. Apple's chart feeds are public, so this works the same on the free plan as on Studio.
Why is my chart position moving when my keyword ranks are flat?
Because they measure different things. Chart position responds to download volume, including traffic that never touched store search — an ad campaign, a press mention, a feature placement.
Do you cover Google Play charts?
Not in the same way. Play does not publish an equivalent public ranked feed per category, so the screen says so rather than showing an empty list.
