Question 1

What can I analyse with Appnalysis?

Accepted Answer

With Appnalysis you can analyse real iOS and Android apps across features, SDKs, frameworks, monetisation, security signals, architecture, and modern-vs-legacy patterns. Analysis is grounded in real app packages combined with platform App Store and Google Play data (charts, rankings, signals), regulatory and standards sources, and other mobile-sector data sources, so cross-platform comparisons and competitor benchmarking sit on real evidence rather than metadata alone.

Question 2

How does Appnalysis compare apps?

Accepted Answer

Each app is read the same way, so the comparison is like for like: store metadata, declared permissions, embedded SDKs and trackers, monetisation signals and ranking history. That means differences are directly comparable rather than a reading of two different marketing pages, and every point carries its source. Name two apps at Ask Appnalysis and the comparison comes back interpreted.

Question 3

What criteria can I use to compare apps?

Accepted Answer

Features and supported capabilities, the SDKs and frameworks behind them, platform coverage, monetisation model, store ratings and review signals, and ranking position over time. You do not have to choose the criteria up front: ask the question in plain language at Ask Appnalysis and Appnalysis selects the evidence that answers it.

Question 4

Does Appnalysis access or expose app publishers' intellectual property?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not extract, or expose proprietary source code, business logic, or other intellectual property belonging to app publishers. Appnalysis focuses on how apps interact with the mobile operating system and ecosystem, using only publicly available signals.

Question 5

What data sources does Appnalysis use?

Accepted Answer

Appnalysis combines app-level data with broader signals from across the mobile ecosystem, so you are not relying on app data alone.
