App Store & Google Play Data

Give app IDs or App Store keywords, get one row per app with the same fields for both stores: rating, rating count, price, version, category. App Store keyword ranks and up to 500 recent App Store reviews per app come with it.

Limits: keyword search and reviews are App Store only – Google Play apps load by package name, and Google publishes no review feed. Apple's public feed often holds fewer than 500 reviews; every row says how complete its reviews are. Twelve country store fronts.

Comparing an app across both stores usually means merging two exports with different fields by hand. Here both stores come back with the same field names – and every row says where a number comes from, for which country and when it was checked.

How to use – step by step

1. Click Try for free on this page (a free Apify account is enough) – the form opens with the keyword "budget planner" for the German store.
2. Keep What to do: Auto and enter Search keywords for an App Store search – or paste apps into Apple apps: ids, bundle ids or App Store URLs and Google Play apps: package names or Play URLs.
3. Pick the Store country; optionally switch on Include reviews (App Store) and set Maximum reviews per app.
4. Set Maximum apps (default 50) and click Start. Five apps for one keyword took 1.3 seconds in a local test run on 12 October 2026.
5. Open the Output tab: the Apps view shows store, title, developer, rating, rating count and its scope, price, category, last update, country and check time. Export as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read the rows through the API. Inputs that were not found are listed under NOT_FOUND in the key-value store – not charged.

Why the comparison needs care

Measured on 12 October 2026 (Spotify):

Source	Rating	Rating count	Counts…
App Store Germany	4.70★	5,794,390	Germany only
App Store USA	4.77★	42,537,199	USA only
Google Play	4.18★	36,467,948	worldwide

Apple counts ratings per country store, Google Play shows one worldwide count (identical in every country). Put "Apple Germany" next to "Play" and you compare a country with the world. Each row therefore carries ratingCountScope (country or worldwide) and country, so the numbers are never mixed up by accident.

What you get per app

Field	Example
store, title, developer, developerId	apple · Instagram · Instagram, Inc.
rating, ratingCount, ratingCountScope	4.7 · 5,794,390 · country (Apple) / worldwide (Play)
price, currency, isFree	0 · EUR · true (null when the store shows no price, e.g. Apple Arcade)
category, categoryCode, contentRating	Communication · COMMUNICATION (Play) / 6005 (Apple) · 12+
version, lastUpdated, releaseDate, releaseNotes	both stores (Play: version only where it does not "vary with device")
installs, minInstalls, installCount	Google Play: "1,000,000,000+" and the count embedded in the page
summary, description, screenshotCount, inAppPurchases, containsAds	listing content (summary, inAppPurchases, containsAds: Play)
sizeBytes, languages, supportedDevices, ratingCurrentVersion	Apple only — Google no longer shows them
iconUrl, storeUrl, sellerUrl, developerEmail, privacyPolicyUrl	links (developerEmail, privacyPolicyUrl: Play)
searchKeyword, searchPosition	in search mode: where the app ranks
reviews[], reviewsStatus	App Store: date, rating, title, text, app version, author — plus how complete they are
input, status, country, checkedAt, source	the proof line: what you asked for, what was found, where, when

Use cases

• Store optimisation (ASO) — which apps rank for your keywords, in which position, and what their listings look like
• Competitor tracking — schedule a weekly run and watch ratings, prices, versions and update cadence move
• Market research — the size and quality of a category before you build in it
• Review mining — hundreds of recent reviews as structured text, ready for sentiment or topic analysis
• Cross-store audits — where your app is rated worse and why
• AI agents — one clean schema for both stores, callable via MCP

Input examples

Keyword research in the German App Store:

{ "mode": "search", "keywords": ["budget planner", "Rechnung scannen"], "country": "de", "max_items": 50 }

Compare one product across both stores — ids or the store links, as you copy them:

{
    "apple_ids": ["https://apps.apple.com/de/app/spotify-musik-und-podcasts/id324684580"],
    "play_ids": ["https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music"],
    "country": "de"
}

Mine reviews of a competitor:

{ "apple_ids": ["284882215"], "include_reviews": true, "max_reviews_per_app": 500 }

mode defaults to auto: app ids or store URLs given → those apps are loaded; otherwise the keywords are searched. Each app is loaded once, even if it appears twice in the input.

What does a run cost?

Records	Cost
100 apps	$0.11
1,000 apps	$1.01
1 app with 500 reviews	$0.01

$0.01 per run start plus $0.001 per app record (Free plan; lower on paid plans — see the Pricing tab). Reviews come nested inside the app record, so a review-heavy run costs the same per app.

You pay only for apps that were found. Inputs that do not exist, are not an app id or URL, or could not be loaded because a store refused or failed are not stored as rows and cost nothing — they are listed in the run's key-value store (NOT_FOUND, FAILED, REMAINING) and named in the status message. Duplicates in the input are loaded once; if Apify restarts a run on another server, nothing is delivered or charged twice.

Limitations – stated honestly

• Keyword search covers the App Store only. Google Play apps are loaded by package name or Play URL (com.whatsapp, not "WhatsApp").
• Reviews are Apple only, and Apple's feed is patchy. The public feed holds at most 500 recent reviews per app and country (10 pages of 50) — but often far fewer, with empty pages in between (measured 12 Oct 2026: Spotify Germany, page 1 empty, pages 2–10 full). The actor reads past empty pages and every row says how complete its reviews are: reviewsStatus (ok, partial, feed_empty, page_featured_only, error) plus the number of feed pages read, empty and failed. When the feed is empty, the few featured reviews of the app's store page are used (reviewsSource: app-store-page). Measured 12 Oct 2026 (search "budget planner", Germany, 42 apps, up to 500 each): 7,463 reviews; 35 apps read to the end of the feed, 7 small apps without any review in Apple's feed. Google Play publishes no review feed.
• Rankings are per country. A keyword position in de says nothing about us — run each store front you care about.
• Apple counts ratings per country, Google Play worldwide (ratingCountScope).
• In apps mode max_items caps the total number of apps; apps beyond it are listed under REMAINING with a warning instead of being dropped silently.
• A run close to its time limit stops on its own and lists what is left under REMAINING.

Data sources

Apple data comes from the official iTunes Search API and the public customer-review feed (plus, when that feed is empty, the featured reviews on the app's store page). Google Play data comes from the structured schema.org block that each store page publishes for search engines and from the data the page itself carries (installs, version, update date). Every row names its source. No login, no paywall and no access control is involved, and no personal data beyond the public display names attached to reviews.

The App Store review feed is read past empty pages, and every row says how complete its reviews are.

Auf Deutsch: App-Store- und Google-Play-Daten exportieren

App-IDs oder App-Store-Suchbegriffe rein, je App eine Zeile raus – mit denselben Feldern für Apple App Store und Google Play: Bewertung, Anzahl Bewertungen, Preis, Version, Kategorie. Dazu Rangplätze und bis zu 500 aktuelle App-Store-Rezensionen je App; Google Play veröffentlicht keine Rezensionen.

Dazu kommen Aktualisierungsdatum, Installationen (Play), Sprachen und bei Apple Nutzerrezensionen mit Datum — Apples öffentlicher Feed liefert je App und Land höchstens 500, oft deutlich weniger; jede Zeile sagt, wie vollständig. Jede Zeile trägt Eingabe, Land, Quelle und Prüfzeitpunkt; bezahlt werden nur gefundene Apps. Zwölf Länder, darunter Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz.

Typische Anwendungsfälle: App-Store-Optimierung (ASO), Ranking-Beobachtung per Zeitplan, Wettbewerbsanalyse, Auswertung von Rezensionen.

FAQ

Do I need an Apple or Google developer account or an API key? No. Apple data comes from the public iTunes Search API and review feed, Google Play data from the public store page. No login, no key, no proxy.

Can I search Google Play by keyword? Not with this actor — keyword search runs on the App Store. Play apps are loaded by package name (com.whatsapp) or by their Play URL.

Can I get Google Play reviews? No. Google publishes no public review feed, and this actor does not pretend otherwise. App Store reviews are available for every app.

How many reviews per app? At most 500 per app and country — Apple's own limit for its public feed. In practice the feed often holds fewer and has empty pages; each row's reviewsStatus and reviewsFeedPages* fields say exactly what came back.

Do I pay for apps that are not found? No. Only found apps become rows. Not found, invalid or failed inputs are listed in the key-value store (NOT_FOUND, FAILED) and in the status message.

Which countries are supported? Twelve store fronts: de, at, ch, us, gb, fr, it, es, nl, pl, se, dk. Rankings, prices and reviews differ per country, so run each one you care about.

Can I track keyword rankings over time? Yes. Schedule a daily or weekly run with the same keywords; every row carries searchKeyword and searchPosition, so comparing runs shows who moved up.

How fresh is the data? Live. Every run reads the stores at that moment — there is no cache in between.
