Two ways to read the same market

Each store shows you one listing at a time. AppMaple lets you sort and filter all of them, across every platform.

For app builders

Find the demand incumbents are fumbling.

  • Categories where the biggest apps rate under 3 stars
  • Store searches where the top results only have a few thousand users
  • Products with millions of users and no update in years
  • Ideas proven on one platform with no good version on another
For investors and acquirers

Screen the whole market, not a list someone sent you.

  • Users or installs, ratings and weekly growth for every product
  • Detected business model, with the evidence behind it
  • Developer, website, update cadence and footprint across platforms
  • Saved screens like “500K+ users, growing, small developer, no paid plan”

A few things the data already shows

From browser extensions, the first platform in the data. Pulled from public store listings, with no estimates.

25

Big extensions nobody is maintaining

Extensions with over a million users that haven't shipped an update in two years. Google Classroom, with 17 million Chrome users, was last updated in May 2017.

1.8★

Millions of users, unhappy ones

LastPass has 8 million Chrome users and a 1.8-star rating from 28,500 reviews. Three password managers with 7 million or more users all rate under 3 stars.

13.9M

Bigger on Edge than on Chrome

Tampermonkey has 13,902,559 installs on Edge, more than the 12 million Chrome shows. Edge reports exact counts. Chrome rounds, so we track both and match them up.

Data as of November 15, 2026, from the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

Public store listings (Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons, Apple App Store, Google Play and Microsoft Store) and open software catalogs such as Homebrew and winget, collected at a polite rate and within each source's published rules. Business models come from each developer's own public website.

Which platforms are covered today?

Chrome and Edge extensions, Apple App Store apps (iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Mac software from Homebrew are in the data now. Google Play and Windows are being added next, and waitlist members will see them first.

How accurate are the user counts?

Every platform reports usage differently, so we label each number with its source. Edge and Homebrew publish exact counts. Chrome and Google Play show rounded tiers (10,000,000+), and we show exactly what they show. Apple and the Microsoft Store don't publish downloads at all, so for those we track rating volume and clearly mark anything that's an estimate.

Who is this for?

Two groups so far. People who build apps and extensions, looking for categories where demand is high and the incumbents are weak. And investors and acquirers who want to screen the whole software market for acquisition targets, not just the ones already for sale.

Will there be exports or an API?

That's the plan. Tell us how you'd want to use the data in the sign-up form; it shapes what we build first.

What will it cost?

Pricing isn't set yet. People on the waitlist hear first.
