Interesting insights for Shopify App Founders
This paper from Fabrizio (@judgeme @celispj ) is really interesting
Seems like you guys didn't share it there, so I'm doing it
Real data from:
1. ~24,000 Shopify apps
2. ~2.7 million stores
3. Thousands of installs and uninstalls
Even though there are 24,000 apps:
1. Most apps never get installed
2. Only ~4,000 apps have real usage
3. Most merchants use 3 apps or fewer
More than half of Shopify app categories are very competitive. No single app dominates.
Even in big categories like:
Discounts
Upsells
Email
Bundles
So launching in a “crowded” category is not stupid.
The study shows something surprising:
In almost 9 categories out of 10, older apps are losing users and newer apps are gaining users.
That follows what I was saying: new apps are getting pushed by Shopify
(Let me know if you want the full document from Fabrizio)
