Our data posture, in plain language

Everything we publish is a derived signal our own computed read on the market, not a copy of Shopify's listings. We don't republish the App Store as a directory, and we don't position the product as "Shopify data." Our value is the analysis on top, not the underlying listings.

We work from information that's already public on the App Store. We don't use any private, authenticated, or merchant-only surface, and we don't touch data behind a login. Private metrics like install counts and revenue aren't ours to know, so we never show them.

We collect public listing information on a calm, regular cadence never aggressively, never anonymously. We identify our service clearly and respect the public store's stated access rules. If the store ever asked us to stop, we would.

On public pages like this one, our reports, and category leaderboards, we keep everything at the category level. Public pages never name an individual app alongside its raw star rating or review count that would just be a mirror of someone else's listing. The per-app detail lives behind a sign-in, for people using the tool to make a decision.

Merchant complaints are powerful signal, but a person's review is theirs. We surface complaint themes and patterns how often an issue comes up across a category never the verbatim text of any individual review.

We don't offer per-app embed widgets or framed snippets that other sites could use to re-display App Store numbers. Category-level signals are general enough to share; per-app figures stay inside the product.

We organize public information we don't control the App Store listing itself. If you're a developer and would prefer your app not appear in our analysis, or you spot something that looks wrong, our data sources page explains exactly what we cover and how to ask us to remove it. We also keep an errata log of data-quality corrections.
