What is Applora?

Applora is a research database built on the public Shopify App Store. It collects app listings, developers, categories, keyword results, rankings, reviews, pricing, and listing changes, and links them so a user can move between them. The homepage lists 30.1K apps, 1.2M reviews, 161 categories, 383+ keywords, and 18.9K developers.

It is aimed at app agencies, developers who manage several apps, and growth teams. Applora states that it is independent and not affiliated with Shopify Inc.

How does Applora work?

Applora collects public Shopify App Store data and refreshes it daily, storing daily snapshots and changes. Users search by app, category, keyword, or developer on the web, then follow links between related records, such as from an app to its developer, rankings, reviews, and competitors.

The same data can leave the website in three ways: CSV exports, a REST API for live lookups, and a remote MCP server for AI agents. The API returns live lookups, while MCP can also query indexed history.

Key features of Applora

The research side covers five areas: app profiles with pricing and declared features, market research across 161 categories, keyword rankings, a searchable merchant review database, and developer portfolios. Change tracking covers ranking movement, listing updates, review velocity, and new entrants.

On the data side, users can export filtered app and review datasets as CSV, call a REST API, or let an MCP-compatible agent query the data. Agents can save findings as reports, and templates support repeatable client briefs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Covers apps, categories, keywords, reviews, and developers in one linked database, so research does not require several tools.
  • Daily refresh and stored daily snapshots allow tracking of rankings, listing changes, and new entrants over time.
  • Free plan allows broad web browsing with no credit card and no credit use.
  • Offers CSV, REST API, and remote MCP access for spreadsheets, scripts, and AI agents.
  • Pro is a flat $49/month with 5,000 research requests, and system failures are not charged.
  • Review search lets users read original merchant feedback behind app ratings.

Cons

  • Limited to the Shopify App Store, so it does not cover other app marketplaces.
  • Free plan limits ranking history to 7 days and caps review and developer batches.
  • Pro includes 5,000 requests per month, so heavy API or MCP use may require a custom plan.
  • Applora is independent of Shopify, and data depends on public listings and collection runs that can be delayed.
