Mobile App Scraping Services

Different layer entirely. App store data covers the listing about an app: rankings, ratings, in-app purchase tiers, release notes, ASO metadata. This service covers content inside an app: a retailer's app-only price on a specific SKU.

If you want to know how a competitor's app ranks, that is app store data. If you want to know what their app is charging, that is this service.

No. We collect only what an anonymous user of a freshly installed app can see. We do not create accounts, do not use client or third-party credentials, and do not collect logged-in or personalised content.

Every record carries auth_state reading anonymous, which is deliberately redundant so the boundary is auditable. Where an offer requires login we record gated_offer_present without obtaining its content — knowing a competitor runs member-only offers in a category is useful and obtainable without crossing the line.

In our runs, around 18% of SKUs at app-enabled retailers show a price or offer difference between app and website. It is concentrated in grocery, quick commerce, food delivery and general retail.

It varies enormously by retailer though. We assess divergence per app during scoping and will tell you where an app shows the same data as its website, because charging for a parallel collection that adds nothing is not a service.

Because in-app content changes by release, versions roll out gradually, and apps A/B test aggressively. Without version, two observations days apart from different versions look like a data inconsistency rather than a change.

Platform matters for the same reason: Android and iOS versions of the same retail app frequently differ in rollout timing and occasionally in offer surfaces. Treating them as one source produces contradictions that look like collection errors.

Yes, from public offers surfaces, with the mechanic classified, validity window captured and a check for whether a website equivalent exists — which is what defines exclusivity.

This is the highest-value output for most clients, because app exclusivity is a deliberate tactic to be invisible to competitors watching the web. A web-only dataset systematically understates competitor promotional intensity.

App terms generally restrict automated access, and we say so rather than implying otherwise. Our practice is anonymous, publicly visible surfaces only, at low request rates, without accounts, credentials, orders or defeating integrity protections.

You receive a written methodology document per app and a DPA before signature so your counsel can assess your specific use case. Vendors offering logged-in app data are operating inside authenticated sessions, and that exposure attaches to whoever uses the data commercially.

Yes, where app content varies by location, which is normal in grocery, quick commerce and delivery. Collection runs per zone using generic location input rather than customer accounts.

As with our quick commerce service, zone count is the main cost multiplier, so we scope the zone set deliberately rather than defaulting to full coverage.

Those where the app genuinely shows different content: grocery, quick commerce, food delivery, general retail and some travel. Elsewhere the website usually shows the same data and app collection adds cost without insight.

We assess per app during scoping and recommend web-only where that is the honest answer. It costs us revenue on those apps and it keeps the rest of the engagement credible.

We quote individually. App collection costs more per record than web collection because the surfaces are less accessible and version and platform variation add work. Zone coverage multiplies it further.

A focused SKU set across two or three apps in one market sits at the lighter end. Multi-app, multi-zone, both platforms sits considerably higher. One scoping call, a free pilot on your own SKUs within 24 hours including an app-web divergence report, then a fixed monthly quote. Request a quote.
