Getting started

Where the data comes from

Sources, update rhythm and what is an estimate.

We only use public information. Nothing here comes from Apple’s private data.

Steps

  1. 1

    Rankings: the public App Store charts of 175 countries, read every day.

  2. 2

    App details (ratings, description, size, screenshots): Apple’s public lookup, refreshed about once a week.

  3. 3

    Revenue figures are estimates calculated from an app’s Top Grossing rank. They are not Apple’s numbers and are always labelled “Estimated”.

  4. 4

    Scores such as small & simple and keyword difficulty are our own formulas. Each one shows its inputs.

  5. 5

    apptomy is not affiliated with Apple Inc.

The full method is on the “How we estimate” page.
