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 Omni?
Omni races to make AI a governed, GA-grade layer of the BI stack.
Omni is a BI and analytics platform shipping weekly release notes. Recent work splits across three fronts: embedding AI throughout the product (AI Hub now GA, AI skills with access grants, AI file uploads), hardening the modeling and compute layer (calculation pushdown, compute routing, sketch-based approximate aggregates), and maturing the API and embedding surface (publish-document API, OAuth for the CLI, embed timezone overrides, Notion and Slack integrations).

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.
Omni
6.3ANALYTICS
Omni races to make AI a governed, GA-grade layer of the BI stack.
◆ Current state
Omni is a BI and analytics platform shipping weekly release notes. Recent work splits across three fronts: embedding AI throughout the product (AI Hub now GA, AI skills with access grants, AI file uploads), hardening the modeling and compute layer (calculation pushdown, compute routing, sketch-based approximate aggregates), and maturing the API and embedding surface (publish-document API, OAuth for the CLI, embed timezone overrides, Notion and Slack integrations).
◆ Where it's heading
Omni is building AI as a first-class layer of the analytics stack while laying the compute-routing and pushdown plumbing that lets those AI features run cheaply at scale. The cadence is high and steady, and the AI work is increasingly paired with governance controls rather than shipped raw.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Hub to accumulate more governed skills and the compute-routing and approximate-aggregate work to expand, pointing toward AI-driven analysis that is both access-controlled and performance-tuned.
