Your sales page says:

"We track over 400,000 searches representing almost 50,000,000 results. "

Really? Where do you get this data? Apple is certainly not making it available (for obvious reasons).



We do a lot of crawling various data sources. We spent over 3 years building a really great infrastructure to do this well. This is how we can present rank tracking for you and your competitors over time. The last time I checked, I think the number was actually over 500k... I should update that page!


I'm a backend developer at MobileDevHQ, and just checked our db. We're currently tracking 520,684 searches.

I think they are making estimates about downloads for popular apps based on the change in downloads on less-downloaded apps for a given keyword.
