Android apps statistics

Whole-store figures for Android, from the StoreTally census. Each store's usage means something different (rounded users, rarely refreshed installs, daily users, ratings, exact installs), so every store has its own page rather than a place in a table.

3,105,433 known · 2,785,872 crawled · 2,769,652 live · 16,220 delisted (Removals tracked since 5 Sep 2026)

Listings tracked over time

Live listings StoreTally has crawled. The line also rises as the census reaches more of the store, not only as the store grows.

Monetization (live listings)

The store's US price, as a share of every live listing · 6 % have no price read yet (not recrawled since prices were first captured), so free and paid count only the listings read so far, not the store's full split

Concentration

The top 10 developers hold at least 43.5 % of the store's installs · their share is counted over the store's 2,000 largest listings (their smaller listings are left out, so the true share can only be higher), against every live listing's installs
