Check where an app stands in its market

How do I compare an app with its competitors on both stores without opening fifty pages?

Why the obvious route disappoints

The store pages hold the answer, but comparing ratings, install counts and release cadence by hand across two stores for ten apps is an afternoon gone.

The three steps

1

Apple App Store Search & Keyword Rank Scraper

Search the App Store for a keyword and get the ranked results with the full listing of each hit.

2

3

Google Play App Details Scraper

What a run costs

Fifty apps on both stores costs about $0.15.
