0 of 50 listings have known start and end dates, covering 0 distinct estimate intervals. A common estimate interval is not established for every row. Compare each row’s dates before interpreting rank differences. Category labels are taken from each listing’s primary store category and are not standardized across stores.

Research a downloaded app

Open an app in the table to see its revenue and download bands, store details and comparable apps. To check an app outside the list, use the free app download estimator. Continue into the research workspace from an app report to inspect its reviews, keywords and rankings.

How these estimates work

Revenue is modeled gross in-app spend (in-app purchases and subscriptions, in US dollars) for the recorded estimate period. Recent estimates cover a rolling 30-day interval; older estimates may cover a calendar month. A missing start date is not inferred. It excludes advertising revenue, web sales and net profit. Downloads are modeled for the same recorded period. Both are worldwide model estimates from public App Store and Google Play signals, not reported figures and not country-level numbers.

Every figure is an 80% band (P10 to P90): the model expects the true value to fall inside it most of the time. Apps below roughly 5K per estimate period show as “< 5K”, and a figure the model did not produce shows as “Not estimated”, never as zero. The ranking includes catalog listings with both download and revenue estimates. It is not a complete census of either store, and model periods can differ between rows.

Read more on the AppGazers data limits page, or look up any app in the free app revenue estimator and app download estimator, and check a keyword in the keyword difficulty checker.

Frequently asked questions

How are the most downloaded apps ranked?

By the central estimate of worldwide downloads for each store listing, highest first, among AppGazers catalog listings with download and revenue estimates. The 80% bands show uncertainty. This is a modeled catalog leaderboard, not an official or complete store chart.

Are these lifetime downloads?

No. These are estimates for the period shown. Current model runs cover a rolling 30-day period; older records may have a different period. Google Play lifetime install tiers are a separate store signal, shown on individual app pages when available.

Are iOS and Android downloads combined?

No. Each App Store and Google Play listing is ranked separately. A product available on both stores can appear twice. The estimates are worldwide for that listing, not country-level downloads.

Why do estimate periods differ between apps?

Apps can be modeled at different times. The report shows its latest estimate period, and rows from another period carry their own label. Compare estimates with their periods and uncertainty in mind; a rank does not establish an exact download count.

Are these real revenue numbers?

No. They are AppGazers model estimates of gross in-app spend, shown as an 80% band. Developers do not publish store revenue, so every third-party figure is modeled.

Does revenue include ads or web subscriptions?

No. It covers in-app purchases and subscriptions through the store only. Advertising revenue, web sales and profit are not included.

Are the estimates for one country?

No. Estimates are worldwide totals for each store listing. AppGazers does not publish country-level revenue or download estimates.

How often is this report updated?

Collection cadence varies. New apps are scored daily and existing apps are revisited weekly. Unchanged estimates retain their recorded period; modeling and store observation dates are shown separately.
