Methodology

This snapshot was generated on Nov 9, 2026, 02:30 AM UTC using methodology app-store-statistics-v1.

How to cite this dataset

AppStoreStatistics. “App Store Statistics 2026: Apps, Rankings & Trends.” Snapshot 2026-11-09. https://appstorestatistics.com/app-store-statistics

Collection and deduplication

App metadata is deduplicated by Apple track ID. Ranking statistics use stored public chart snapshots, while developer counts use distinct non-zero public developer IDs.

Ratings and storefront scope

Rating values are the latest public values stored for each indexed app and may originate from different storefront observations. They are not summed as a worldwide Apple total.

Release and language fields

Release and update counts include valid ISO-style dates within the displayed 30-day window. Multilingual share requires at least two recorded language codes.

Limitations

The dataset reflects apps and charts observed by AppStoreStatistics. It excludes private App Store Connect data and does not represent exact worldwide downloads, proceeds or every app ever published.

Data sources

AppStoreStatistics observations

Stored app metadata and chart snapshots used for all displayed calculations.

Apple Search API documentation

Official documentation for public Apple search and lookup metadata.

Apple Marketing Tools RSS

Apple's public feed tooling used for chart collection workflows.

App Store statistics FAQ

How many apps are included in these App Store statistics?+

The indexed-app count shows the number of unique Apple track IDs currently stored in the AppStoreStatistics dataset. It is an observed dataset count, not a claim about every app available worldwide.

How often are these App Store statistics updated?+

A new public snapshot is generated once per day after scheduled chart collection. The page displays the exact observation time, generation time and current coverage quality.

Are downloads and revenue included?+

No download, revenue or total market-size estimates are presented as facts on this page. Apple does not publicly disclose exact competitor downloads or revenue through the data sources used here.

Where does the data come from?+

The dataset is built from public Apple App Store metadata and chart feeds collected by AppStoreStatistics. Apps are deduplicated by Apple track ID before aggregate metrics are calculated.

Can this dataset be cited?+

Yes. Cite the page title, AppStoreStatistics as publisher, the displayed snapshot date and the canonical URL. The public JSON endpoint exposes the same daily snapshot in machine-readable form.
