AppScout: Find & Build Apps

Stop building cool apps for empty rooms. Find what people actually pay for, then build it, right here.

AppScout gives you the market research to find exactly what to build next, then builds it for you. Open it and immediately see estimated revenue for apps across both major app stores. Not projections, real estimates on real apps, updated regularly. Data over vibes: this is your unfair advantage.

Tap any app for the full picture:

→ Estimated monthly revenue and growth trends

→ Download trends and velocity over time

→ User ratings and exactly what people complain about

→ Competitor analysis against every app in the category

→ Complete developer portfolios

→ Geographic breakdown of revenue

Some of these apps earn serious passive income despite terrible design. Some haven't been updated in a year. Some have millions of users but barely monetize. Each pattern is an opening, and AppScout surfaces them automatically, so you find what to build before the category gets crowded.

Automated discovery:

Don't browse the top charts — they're full of VC-backed incumbents. Pick a lens and let the opportunities come to you:

→ Apps earning well but frustrating their users

→ Profitable apps not updated in months

→ New apps gaining traction before the category crowds

→ Large audiences with almost no monetization

→ Significant revenue with barely any visibility

→ Fresh launches showing early momentum

→ Tiny user bases generating outsized revenue

Every result is scored and ranked. Build your own lenses with custom filters when you want full control.
