Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 40 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade
AndroidRank is a free website that has collected Google Play data since 2011. It ranks apps overall and by category on ratings and installs, and keeps the history of each app's ratings, install milestones and estimated installs. Developer pages total up every app a publisher has released.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about AndroidRank, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but it's a website you open and search, with no account to make and nothing to set up.

The report card
Best for free Google Play install and rating history
AndroidRank is a free website that has logged Google Play since 2011: rankings by ratings and installs, each app's install milestones and rating history, and developer totals, with no account and no paid plan. It does nothing for keywords, though, it covers Google Play only, and it skips apps with fewer than 100 ratings.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free outright: the site says there are no premium accounts, and every visitor gets all the rankings, app and developer pages and history charts. Only custom data exports are priced, on request. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Everything is free with no account needed, and there's no cap on record. The one paid thing is a custom data export, which you'd have to ask about. |
| Features | D | One narrow function: Google Play rankings by ratings and installs, with each app's history and developer totals. There's no keyword research or rank tracking, nothing for the App Store, and apps under 100 ratings aren't covered. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but it's a website you open and search, with no account to make and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no app, no integrations and no API on record. The most-popular list downloads as a CSV file, and anything more is a custom export on request. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who AndroidRank is for
- Fits if you want an Android app's install milestones and rating history without paying
- Works for researchers who need Google Play data going back to 2011
Who it is not for
- Skip it if keyword research or rank tracking is what you need, as it has neither
- Not for you if your app is on the App Store, since it covers Google Play only
- Tight if your app is new, as apps under 100 ratings aren't listed and can't be added by hand
- Watch out: install figures past Google Play's public thresholds are AndroidRank's own estimates
- Watch out: custom data exports are a separate service, priced on request

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
AndroidRank is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 40 of the 42 other app store optimization tools we grade.
What you could not
- Keyword rankings and popularity scores from both app stores, gathered every day.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. AndroidRank’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
