Methodology
Where the numbers come from.
Ratings, review counts, pricing, and categories come from the live Shopify App Store listing, refreshed daily. Review growth compares the observed snapshots across the trailing 30-day window. “Stores observed” and the platform split come from OngoingAI’s weekly storefront census — the real stores running each app, not the listing’s claimed totals. Comparison generated Aug 25, 2026.
