What is Appfigures?
Appfigures becomes a competitive-intelligence platform, not just an App Store analytics tool.
Appfigures has spent the last six months pushing past its origins as a downloads-and-revenue dashboard and rebuilding around competitor and market intelligence. The new App Intelligence suite, unified cross-platform app views, iPad data inclusion, and state-level financial reports all sharpen the same thesis: customers want to size up the market, not just track their own KPIs.
What is Neo4j?
Neo4j Aura pushes on billing transparency, scale ceilings, and graph analytics.
Neo4j's Aura cloud is shipping across three fronts: a new self-service billing experience and Billing API, higher scale ceilings (5TB storage on AWS, 2TB high-memory on GCP), and graph-analytics depth (Native Projections, ML model persistence). The monthly Aura release rolls these up with Cypher 25 GQL compliance work.

Appfigures
1.3ANALYTICS
Appfigures becomes a competitive-intelligence platform, not just an App Store analytics tool.
◆ Current state
Appfigures has spent the last six months pushing past its origins as a downloads-and-revenue dashboard and rebuilding around competitor and market intelligence. The new App Intelligence suite, unified cross-platform app views, iPad data inclusion, and state-level financial reports all sharpen the same thesis: customers want to size up the market, not just track their own KPIs.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release widens the dataset and the angles you can cut it from — keyword popularity in more countries, daily averages, by-state revenue, screenshots/video benchmarking, and now iPad in core estimates. The shape of the roadmap is consistent: turn proprietary estimation models into a research platform competitors can't easily replicate, then sell that research access to teams making positioning and pricing decisions.
◆ Prediction
Expect more competitor-benchmarking surfaces — likely subscription pricing intelligence, ASO trend reports, and tighter API monetization for agencies that resell competitive insights to their own clients.
Neo4j
6.3ANALYTICS
Neo4j Aura pushes on billing transparency, scale ceilings, and graph analytics.
◆ Current state
Neo4j's Aura cloud is shipping across three fronts: a new self-service billing experience and Billing API, higher scale ceilings (5TB storage on AWS, 2TB high-memory on GCP), and graph-analytics depth (Native Projections, ML model persistence). The monthly Aura release rolls these up with Cypher 25 GQL compliance work.
◆ Where it's heading
Aura is maturing as an enterprise managed service — financial controls, larger instances, and operational hygiene (user pruning) — while continuing to invest in the graph-data-science layer that differentiates it.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued enterprise-readiness work (billing, scale, governance) alongside GDS and GQL-compliance progress; a unified neo4j-cli also suggests more developer-CLI investment ahead.
