# SignalScout — Shopify App Store Intelligence Platform

> SignalScout tracks, analyzes, and surfaces intelligence across the entire Shopify App Store ecosystem.

## What SignalScout is

SignalScout is a market intelligence platform for the Shopify ecosystem. It collects public data from the Shopify App Store — app listings, reviews, pricing — and makes it searchable, analyzable, and actionable for app developers, agencies, investors, and product managers.

## What data SignalScout has

- **Apps**: 9,000+ active Shopify apps with ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, category rankings, and AI-generated summaries of what users love, hate, and request
- **Reviews**: hundreds of thousands of merchant reviews, tagged by sentiment and complaint type
- **Categories**: 23+ categories with momentum scores, opportunity scores, top complaints, and gap analysis
- **Pricing history**: detected pricing changes over time for tracked apps
- **Revenue estimates**: formula-based MRR/ARR estimates for Shopify apps based on review volume and pricing

## How data is collected
