What is Appfigures?
Appfigures just made its app-market data something an AI agent can query, not something you screenshot.
Appfigures has spent the last year widening what its estimates cover — iPad data folded into every download and revenue figure, state-level financials in the API, a 15-report App Intelligence suite for competitor research, and Leaderboards that rank apps by explicit metrics instead of opaque store charts. The August release changes who consumes all of that: a CLI built specifically for AI agents, with a hinting system to keep them from misreading the data. The product is no longer only a dashboard.
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.

◆ Current state
Appfigures has spent the last year widening what its estimates cover — iPad data folded into every download and revenue figure, state-level financials in the API, a 15-report App Intelligence suite for competitor research, and Leaderboards that rank apps by explicit metrics instead of opaque store charts. The August release changes who consumes all of that: a CLI built specifically for AI agents, with a hinting system to keep them from misreading the data. The product is no longer only a dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from data completeness to data access. First they closed gaps in the underlying estimates, then they built more ways to slice them, and now they are exposing the whole surface to agents that can investigate, compare, monitor, and act — including replying to reviews and adjusting Apple Ads campaigns. Each layer assumes the one below it is trustworthy, which is why the accuracy fixes (iPad coverage, keyword popularity, Google Play delay removal) came first.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to deepen before it widens — more write actions exposed through the CLI, and Leaderboards and App Intelligence reports made directly queryable by agents rather than only through the web reports.

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.
