What AppMagic is
AppMagic provides mobile app market research and analytics through its website and API. Its research tools cover app classification, advertising analysis, and trendspotting. Steam Analytics reports data for games and downloadable content, including revenue, downloads, daily and monthly active users, average daily playtime, daily concurrent users, followers, and pricing. AppMagic describes an API with more than 50 endpoints for retrieving datasets and creating automated reports. Under an Order Form, customers may grant access to Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Steam Store publisher accounts. With customer access, AppMagic also names AppLovin MAX and ironSource LevelPlay accounts as sources of advertising monetization data, and Steamworks Partner accounts as a possible games-data source. AppMagic says customer-provided publisher data is used to improve its estimate models and is not disclosed to third parties. A free plan provides limited information, and a free trial is available. Paid Services are billed at fees set out in an Order Form; fee estimates can be requested through the website. AppMagic says it focuses on small and medium-sized businesses within Sensor Tower’s broader intelligence ecosystem.
