AI Visibility Checker for apps: is your app recommended by AI?

People ask AI assistants “which app should I get” before they search a store. Paste your app and see in seconds whether assistants name it when someone asks for the best apps of its kind, how often, and which apps they recommend instead. Free, no sign-up.

How it works

Three steps, one number you can act on

Paste your app

An App Store or Google Play link, or just the name. We read its category and suggest the niche phrases people would ask an assistant for; you can edit them.

We ask the way people ask

“What are the best habit tracker apps for iPhone?”, “Which one is best for a beginner?”, “Free ones worth downloading” — five questions per phrase, each asked more than once, because assistants don't answer the same way twice.

You get a score and the names

The share of answers that name your app, where it lands, and the apps that get named instead — matched to our catalog of 3.6M+ apps, so each one comes with its store page and, in Pro, what it makes.

Which apps AI assistants recommend, category by category

We asked AI assistants for the best apps in 50 App Store and Google Play categories, the way people ask, several times each. Below: the app named most often in each category and how often, next to the app that earns most for that very question by GetAppNiche data. In 9 of 49 categories the top earner is also an app AI names; in the rest, the money and the recommendations go to different apps.
