Competitor analysis

A competitor is not an app in the same category. A competitor is an app that is standing between you and a keyword you want. Ours are read out of the search results you are already measured in — so the list changes when the search results change.

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

FieldWhere it comes fromWhat it answers
Who is above youThe search result for that term, in orderNot "a competitor" — a competitor on this word, in this country
Ratings wallRating counts of the apps ranked above youHow much social proof stands between you and the first page
OverlapShared keywords across the terms you both rank forWhether they are a rival or just in the same category
Listing changesTheir store page, read on a scheduleWhen they changed their title, subtitle, screenshots or description
How they make moneyAd SDKs and purchase types declared in the listingWhether they live on ads, subscriptions or both
The ratings wall is the highest rating count in the top 10, not the median. A median describes a comfortable middle that nobody has to beat; the number that actually blocks you is the biggest one.

How it works

  1. Rivals are discovered, not typed in. Every nightly measurement records the apps ranked above you, term by term and storefront by storefront.
  2. They are profiled. A rival that keeps appearing gets a profile: their listing, their rating trajectory, the terms you share.
  3. Changes are dated. When a tracked rival edits their store page, the difference is kept with the date it was seen.
  4. You can pin your own. A competitor you care about can be tracked deliberately, whether or not they out-rank you today.

Overlap

The keywords you actually share

A rival in the same category is not a rival. A rival is an app standing between you and a term you want — and the overlap view shows exactly which terms those are, with the rank difference on each one.

What you do with it

Pick winnable keywords

A wall of 200 ratings and a wall of 400,000 are not the same opportunity, however similar the rank looks.

See how many ratings it takes

Catch abandoned leaders

An app that has held the top spot for two years without touching its listing is the softest target in the result.

Understand competitor overlap

Strip the brand noise

Half a rival's keywords are their own brand. Those are not a market you can enter.

What this does not do

What we do not estimate

Nobody outside the company can measure their downloads. So we don't print a number.

Everything on this page is public store data, read the way a user would see it:

  • No download or revenue estimates. A number with a confidence band is still a guess wearing a suit.
  • No ad creative library. We measure store search, not ad networks.
  • No competitor score. “37 competitors” is not a fact you can act on. A named app standing above you on a named term is.
  • Nothing from behind the listing. If a user cannot see it, neither can we.

Frequently asked

How are competitors chosen?

They are not chosen. Every nightly measurement records which apps ranked above you on each term in each storefront, and those are your competitors on that term. You can also pin apps you want tracked deliberately.

Do you estimate a competitor's downloads or revenue?

No. Those cannot be measured from outside the company, so we do not publish a number for them.

Why show the highest rating count instead of the median?

Because the highest is the one that actually blocks you. A median describes a middle nobody has to beat.

Can I see when a competitor changed their store page?

Yes. Tracked rivals' store pages are re-read on a schedule and the differences are kept with the date they were seen.
