Illustrative data, real product layout.
Built from daily snapshots of the whole public App Store — every number is observed movement, not a survey or an estimate.
1 · Explore the niches
Sort every niche by growth, size or how concentrated it is. A fast-growing niche where the leader holds 20% is a very different opportunity from one where they hold 60% — the explorer makes that visible in one row.
2 · Read the weekly shifts
The insights view surfaces the week's biggest overall-rank gainers, recently launched apps already earning real reviews, and which niches are heating up or slowing down.
3 · Drill into anything
Every niche links to its leaderboard and every app to its profile in the app directory, so a market-level signal is always two clicks from the apps behind it.
Most market takes on Shopify apps are anecdotes — a tweet about a niche being “hot”, a founder's gut feel. Ours is arithmetic on a daily crawl of the entire public App Store: growth is measured review momentum, share is measured concentration. Where we can't observe a number — like search volume — we don't invent one, which is the same standard the rest of the platform holds.
Found a niche worth entering — or defending? Add its leaders with competitor tracking and you'll see their every move, including the listing rewrites change alerts catch. Then pick your terms from the keyword directory and track them daily.
