Rankbase records the organic results merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for 3,620 popular keywords, refreshed daily for published rankings and at least weekly for the rest. Each app's rating, review count, pricing label and Built for Shopify badge are taken from its App Store search result card, so they are exactly what merchants see; the date next to each app is the last time it appeared in any tracked top 10. Sponsored results are excluded, and nothing on this page is edited by hand, including for Rankbase's own apps.
