# App download estimate comparison worksheet

Use market estimates to choose what to research. Use owned analytics for your app's reported acquisition. Unknown fields stay unknown; missing estimates are not zero.

## Comparison scope

- Research question:
- Source or provider:
- Platform:
- Country coverage:
- Reporting period and exact boundaries:
- Download definition:
- Retrieval date:
- Rounding, methodology, and known limitations:

## Candidates

| App name | App Store ID or listing URL | Displayed estimate | Scope confirmed? | Source freshness label | User-task relevance | Next check |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |

## Decision

- Peer to investigate:
- Why this peer:
- Would a higher or lower estimate change that choice?
- Missing evidence:
- Next action and review date:

## Observed lookup example

AppSprint public checker, retrieved October 9, 2026:

| Field | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| App and developer | 18Birdies: Golf GPS Tracker; 18Birdies LLC |
| Platform and App Store ID | Apple App Store; 892700751 |
| Source URL | https://appsprint.app/tools/app-revenue-checker?id=892700751 |
| Displayed monthly download estimate | 200.0K, rounded |
| Dataset updated label | August 11, 2026 |
| Exact reporting boundaries | Unknown; not disclosed by the result |
| Country coverage | Unknown; not disclosed by the result |
| Download definition | Unknown; not disclosed by the result |

These are observations of the tool's display, not the publisher's reported downloads. The retrieval date and dataset date do not establish the reporting period. Keep the missing scope attached to the estimate; do not use this row alone to size a country market or forecast your own installs. Displayed values can change.

## Hypothetical example

Invented teaching values, not live estimates. Assume matching provider, iOS platform, territory, period, and definition.

| App | Monthly estimated downloads | Relevance | Decision |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Broad wellness leader | 120,000 | Partial | Study positioning; find a closer peer |
| Focused sleep-sounds app | 8,000 | Close | Inspect keywords and screenshots |
| Focused sleep-sounds app B | 7,500 | Close | Keep as another peer |

Difference: `8,000 - 7,500 = 500`; `500 / 7,500 * 100 = 6.7%` after rounding. Without validated error bounds, this does not prove their real download ordering.
