How this was counted

  • A platform counts when the vendor's own site or store listing shows an app for it. A web app used in a phone's browser is not counted as a phone app.
  • A listing that leaves a platform out means the vendor's pages did not mention it when they were read.
  • Browser extensions are recorded on the listings but are not a column here.

These figures describe the 1415 tools listed on ToolGPA, not every product on the market. They are counted again whenever a listing changes; this is the October 2026 edition. You may quote them with a link to this report.
