## Apptopia Reviews
  ### 1. Good for a short period of time

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Devin W. | Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Comprehensive data available on a lot of apps

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Often the data is inaccurate.  We use it to gather data that we can use to sell into mobile app companies, I've often grabbed data from apptopia and been told by x publisher I'm way off.

Pretty hard to get next steps with bad data.

When using the prospector despite refining search parameters to be specific it only populates the same apps over and over and these apps are well outside the specific search parameters.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Providing data about mobile apps for us to leverage into sales calls with publishers

  ### 2. Comprehensive market intelligence solution

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** jai m. | Enterprise Partnerships-India , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2023

Provides App metrics across Acquisition,Usage& Engagement as well to help marketers

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Accuracy mismatch in estimating usage data

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 3. Fantastic spot to find out what the rest of them are doing.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 31, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Easy to read analytics and usable information.   They are able to make everything accessible and easy to find.  My app was a black hole and they made it easy to find out who was looking for us.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

It's hard to say exactly what I don't like but sometimes it's too much information.   But other than that I don't have too many complaints.  It's a good program.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were trying to figure out what our app was doing and they were able to show us exactly what was going on.  The analytics are top notch.  We know exactly what's going on now.

  ### 4. An awesome tool to be ahead of your competition

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Javsy L. | Head Of Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

The UX is delightful, I can understand everything I had to do, only clicking and navigating around the platform. It  helps me to achieve my goals and understand significantly my users

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

There is nothing I can complain about this tool. It is excellent for the purpose it was created.

**Recommendations to others considering Apptopia:**

Use it! You'll be delighted with the results and performance you will achieve after you try this powerful tool.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can observe a lot of valuable data about my competitors, leads, transactions. I made more intelligent decisions and improved the performance of my app and the strategy about it.

  ### 5. Much better than AppAnnie

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maciej W. | Ph.D. Student and Faculty, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Loved the richness and details in the analyses. You have both iOS and Android, so better vs. SimilarWeb. It provides the same value as AppAnnie but is much cheaper. 
I loved the sentiment and comments function—a fantastic tool for market research. For instance, you can export the reviews and get instant customer feedback. We have used it as an input for our sentiment analysis tool. It was much easier to source comments thanks to that. We have once done a project about delivery apps (during pandemic), and AppAnnie was the only tool that could provide us with the necessary data input.
Also, the team is very helpful, they can pull the data for you if needed - super responsive, very client-centric, and definitely well-organized. 
If you consider the features, I personally think that peer-to-peer comparison was the most useful.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Exporting functions should be better; right now, it's not that easy to compile outputs. For instance, you can have only a few players in one go. It means you land with multiple Excel sheets you need to collect. Probably it was a problem only for our use case, but it was a challenge.
Also, I didn't use that much of the internal app benchmarking, as we were doing mostly outside-in analyses. I think that creating a separate pricing plan, specific for PE/VC funds, consulting firms, and advisory firms can be beneficial. I still miss using this tool for market research purposes. Amazing value.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Market benchmarking, market research, customer insights. We have used it to provide our clients with the assessments needed to drive potential optimization goals. For instance, as a case study, we have worked with a banking player, the analyses showed improvement opportunities in engagement and which led towards a new project.

  ### 6. Utilizing Apptopia for sales and management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Apptopia is great for finding information on app publishers such as their emails that we can use to contact them for calls and meetings. Lists of information from these publishers is generated which helps us out a lot

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

I wish that Apptopia covered a more broad selection of Apps. We were looking for information from large publishers, and we couldn't get that through Apptopia. Perhaps it needs more development

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In terms of our research lab which employs a business and marketing team, Apptopia has allowed us to reach different groups of contact which we are able to collaborate with.

  ### 7. Easy UI

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

I can search all the apps easily, they are categorised well. Subcategories are also available for the apps and it is good to be able to compare the applications.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

The estimations could be better. There are some lack of informations about the apps. There are some unnecessary applications with small amount of users. There could be more SDKs in the platform.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can compare apps easily and see the specific data of the apps. The graphs and tables provided provides good insights. It is useful when I want to evaluate the apps in the market.

  ### 8. Apptopia the market intelligence solution

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Apptopia provides real-time alerts and on top of that, it can be customized as per requirements. Also, the accuracy of the reports generated is also quite high. We can also view what technology is being used to developed and tools and what changes are being made at the back end technologies with the progress of time.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

It is quite expensive so we have to invest a lot of time to take approval from the management. I also feel that not all the apps are being covered by it.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used it for one of my clients to compare their app with their competitors. The client was very happy with the user interface and its interaction.

  ### 9. Apptopia is the best!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

How easy it is to navigate. We work a lot with SDK and Apptopia is the most reliable

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

We don't have all the features, not your fault but I know they would be helpful

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can take a glance at the results and know that is it accurate, so it makes me faster at my job

  ### 10. Great and Fantastic tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Apptopia not only allows you to see what technologies are being used in an app, but also when an technology is removed, inact

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Needs more app coverage. Did not have information for alot of large publishers we are looking to contact

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the Apptopia platform, we are able to find and locate fastest growing apps and target them accordingly.

  ### 11. Granular app insights

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2021

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

The room for customization in report builder and customer success manager

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Nothing so far - I look forward to using it more

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better understanding of apps for outreach purposes

  ### 12. Incredible product to measure the success of your mobile apps

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

We need a tool to measure the success of our mobile app, optimize ASO, and keep watching on app ranking and Apptopia is the right tools for us. In addition, Apptopia is an excellent tool to spy on competitors' keywords. one of the best parts is the keyword ranking for competitors.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Apptopia doesn't provide hourly store ranking for Appstore and Google Play, it means you may miss some important hourly ranks there, In addition the price tag is high for startups, looking forward some generous offers for early-stage startups

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When you wanna check your app category ranking, lot's of the ASO tools doesn't provide more than the top 200 apps on Google Play, But thanks Apptopia, they have a report of top 500 apps daily. also You can create alerts to help you stay on top of changes in the market. 

  ### 13. SDK information lacks in many apps, out-of-date

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

It can get SDK information per apps,sometimes.
and has google chrome extention which makes it easy to access apptopia page.


**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

App SDK data lacks in many app.
You can press "Request SDK information"button, without ANY UPDATE even after 7 days.

I usually have to send email ,typing every app link.
Then what's the point of "Request SDK button"?

There are chat service inside apptopia, in which nobody answers even if I send several times.
If you need support, you have to send email directly which makes no sense of chat services.


So, overall Apptopia does looks nice when you go to site,
they say "We can get a lot of app data" which is definately not  true.


**Recommendations to others considering Apptopia:**

If you expect Apptopia for getting SDK information, for now I don't recommend you.
Apptopia support says that will be improved,but they didn't give me information about when it will be.

Maybe just ask Apptopia to check if SDK feature is working, with showing this review.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When there are SDK information I can assume who is customer and who is not.
Also you can filter the revenue information and make reports

  ### 14. Great way to spy on competitors

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adam B. | Director, Mobile Product Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Great way to gain insights on competitor app performance and help discover new competitors or similar apps.

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Read the fine print. If you connect your account, you're giving Apptopia the right to give your download data to their other users, including potential competitors.

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Who are our competitors? How are our competitors performing?

  ### 15. I use Apptopia (almost) everyday

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elizabeth G. | Senior Customer Success Manager, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

I love that I can search for game publishers and see all their titles, release dates, and performance metrics. It's especially useful to see downloads by country, as it gives me insight into which games are likely in soft launch or region-specific. 

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

It would be nice to see when apps are featured, but nothing really comes to mind. 

**Recommendations to others considering Apptopia:**

Not sure of the cost, but from my limited experience, Apptopia seems to be quite a bit lighter than a service like App Annie, for example. I would assume it's less expensive. For my needs, Apptopia is perfect, but it really depends on your role and how granular you want to be on the data and performance side. You should do your own research and see which USP wins you over. 

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Apptopia is a huge help in tracking app release dates, updates, and performance, without needing to bug our customer for that information. A poorly performing app or slow rollout could indicate a risk to our business relationship with that developer/publisher, so it helps us be more proactive in servicing our clients. 

  ### 16. Totally Wrong Download Report to Crunchbase

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

Nothing at all. Your company must be more professional and avoid publishing inaccurate data   

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

How can you publish a very simple public metric wrong

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None

  ### 17. Great product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Megan A. | Business Development, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2017

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

My company focusses on apps that have high MAU usage as well as the SDKs they are currently using. We use this tool for all around insight into apps and their parent companies for prospecting purposes. 

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

I wish that we could build reports based off of market size (SMB, MM, & ENT). Because Apptopia does not offer this we have to go back and forth between apptopia and linkedin to determine the market size. 

**Recommendations to others considering Apptopia:**

Add a report building feature to filter by "App last updated" AND by market size. That would make the product worth much more in my opinion. 

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Apptopia has really decreased the amount of back and forth researching we do on a daily basis. We have been able to prospect much faster, with more accurate and quick information on hand. 

  ### 18. Amazing BI tool for mobile industry

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2017

**What do you like best about Apptopia?**

All the insides of any company involved in the mobile industry, SDK networks, mobile app developers, app store rankings and avg. revenue 

**What do you dislike about Apptopia?**

Some information missing but you can make a request at any time

**Recommendations to others considering Apptopia:**

Very good BI tool, expensive but it might be worth it 

**What problems is Apptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knowing activity in the mobile marketing industry, track top performing apps and industry insides
