Methodology

Where the numbers come from.

Ratings, review counts, pricing, “Built for Shopify,” and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The leaderboard filters to apps rated 4.0★+ then orders by review count: a credibility-weighted definition of “best.” Rank race and movers come from daily category-page archives — each day’s position is the best (lowest) rank we observed across all pages of the Affiliate programs category. New entries are apps whose first-seen date lands in the last 28 days. Snapshot generated 3 hours ago.
