The problem

Your next customer is already using a competitor

Store pages never say which SDKs an app ships.
Lead lists bought elsewhere are stale and say nothing about the tech stack.
Market share claims in this space are rarely backed by a count of apps.

How AppMetis solves it

Footprints for millions of apps, searchable

SDKs and permissions for about 3.18M apps across both stores.
Filter by SDK together with installs, growth, category and developer country.
Export lists with public developer contacts, on plans with SDK intelligence.

How it works

From app package to lead list

01
Read the package
We look at the libraries and frameworks each app ships, and the permissions Android apps request.
02
Match signatures
Known SDK signatures map code to a vendor and a category, such as ads, attribution or payments.
03
Keep the timeline
Each detection stores when it was observed, so adds and drops show up where history exists.
04
Join with the market
Every footprint links to measured installs, charts, developer country and public contacts.

Use cases

Who uses SDK intelligence

SDK and ad-tech sales

Build displacement lists of apps using a competitor, sized by measured installs and filtered by country.

Partnerships

Find apps that pair well with your product, for example apps with an attribution SDK but no crash reporter.

Investors and M&A

See a target's tech stack and how widely its SDK is adopted, by category and over time.

Privacy research

Permissions requested by Android apps, side by side with the SDKs that may need them.

Product teams

Learn which analytics, payments and messaging SDKs the leaders in your category ship.

Exports

Lists to CSV or Excel with installs, category, country and public contacts, counted against your row quota.

SDK intelligence questions

How are SDKs detected?

From the libraries and frameworks an app package ships, matched against known SDK signatures and grouped into categories such as ads, attribution, analytics and payments. Each detection keeps the date it was observed.

How many apps have SDK data?

About 3.18M apps across Google Play and the App Store have an SDK footprint, along with the permissions Android apps request.

Can a detection be wrong?

Sometimes. Shared libraries can bundle other SDKs, and code can ship without being used. Treat a detection as strong evidence of presence, not proof that a feature is active.

Can I export apps that use a competitor's SDK?

Yes, on plans that include SDK intelligence. Filter apps by SDK, installs, category and developer country, then export with the public developer contacts. Exports count against the monthly row quota.
