How this ranking works
Peekly ranks publishable App Store and Google Play listings by resolved monthly download signals. Google Play publishes broad install ranges, while exact iOS downloads are not public and must be estimated from store rankings and observed signals. The same product can appear once per store because each listing is measured separately.
Full methodology and limitationsWhy builders use this data
A ranking is a starting point, not an app idea by itself. Open a listing to compare its downloads, ratings, store position, pricing and similar apps. Look for repeatable problems and monetization patterns before deciding what to build.
Explore the full datasetFrequently asked questions
Are these official download figures?
Not for every listing. Google Play publishes broad install ranges, but Apple does not publish app-level download totals. Peekly therefore labels resolved monthly download values as estimates where exact public data is unavailable.
Does this ranking combine iOS and Android?
The report compares individual App Store and Google Play listings in one table. A product available on both stores can appear twice because each listing has separate signals.
How often is this report updated?
Peekly refreshes its app intelligence data daily, while this public report is regenerated from the latest qualifying records throughout the day.
