The app ranking tools provide valuable data and insights into the ranking position of an app within the app store, and tracks the app’s ranking position over time.
See the daily position of an App, and track rank history over time using the Ranking History and Daily Ranking tools.
Store ranking data is taken directly from the Google Play Store and iOS App Store ranking and is referred to as the “ground truth” for app developers and all other players in the app ecosystem.
Daily Ranking gives a picture of where an app is available and in how many countries the app is top-ranked. See how the app is performing on a daily basis around the world (i.e. in different markets) to benchmark your performance.
Ranking History provides historical perspective of an app’s success in reaching its audience (Top Free apps) and generating revenue (Top Grossing apps & Top Paid apps).
Note
Each platform, device, country, and category combination has its own top chart rankings each day.

How is an app's rank calculated?
App rankings come directly from the Google Play or iOS app store. Rank is an app store metric and we do not have any visibility into their ranking algorithm.
Is App Store Rank data impacted by the Google algorithm change?
Summary
Beginning of May 17, 2022, Google made several changes to information displayed within the Google Play store.
Our team has noticed varying impacts on the data presented in our platform (and through our API) related to the Ranks and Reviews (along with other corresponding data) in all countries where we have Google Play Store coverage.
This issue impacts both Similarweb App Intelligence and Similarweb App Intelligence powered by data.ai. See below for a list of the impacted metrics.
Our team is continuing to research a workaround for this issue. Please refer back to this article for updates.
