Shopify App Markets Ranked by Opportunity

The Apps Almanac engine groups every Shopify app into 38 hand-curated markets (cart upsell, loyalty, shipping rates, and more) and scores each on where merchant demand and unmet pain line up. A higher score means more apps with slipping ratings and unanswered complaints relative to demand: a more attackable space. Use it to size up the market for an app you're building, watch the space your own app competes in, or find an underserved gap. Every number here is a market-level aggregate, never a single app's.
