Methodology & citation

How we get to these numbers.

Every figure on this page comes from public Shopify App Store data, updated daily, and a parallel daily ChatGPT analysis. Launch Pulse counts an app the first day it appears in the public store. AI-mention share reads each new listing's title and tagline; the pricing split reads the listing's public pricing; “already removed” counts listings that disappear within seven days of first appearing. We never access your Shopify account or Partners credentials. Read more in the methodology or features pages.

Writers and the Shopify team are welcome to cite any number on this page. Permalink: asomify.com/market-intelligence. For a single category use asomify.com/market-intelligence/<category>, six categories now live (Tax & Accounting, Email marketing, Reviews, Inventory, Subscriptions, Shipping). Every aggregate on this page is updated daily — last updated recently.
