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 VWO?
VWO consolidates experimentation, analytics, and AI as the AB Tasty merger surfaces
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.

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.
VWO
6.3ANALYTICS
VWO consolidates experimentation, analytics, and AI as the AB Tasty merger surfaces
◆ Current state
VWO is broadening from A/B testing into a wider optimization suite: VWO AI to compress insight-to-execution, behavior analytics linked directly to feature experimentation, the VWO Pulse Voice-of-Customer product, and a Go SDK for backend feature flags. Operationally, the AB Tasty merger is now visible — the app is moving from app.vwo.com to app.wingify.com.
◆ Where it's heading
Direction is a unified experimentation-and-insight platform that connects the 'what' (experiments, feature releases) to the 'why' (behavior analytics, VoC feedback), with AI shortening the analysis loop. The merger layers consolidation and infrastructure alignment on top of the feature expansion.
◆ Prediction
Expect tighter integration between VWO AI, behavior analytics, and feature experimentation, plus continued post-merger platform and domain consolidation.
