Backup Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

BackupMaster Backups ranks #1 for backup with 7.3% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, -8.0pp ahead of Filey ‑ Files Backup & Export (15.3%). TinyBackup ‑ Backups & restore sits at #3 with 8.7% share, rounding out the top tier. The top 3 apps together hold only 31.3% — meaning backup is a fragmented market where lower-ranked apps still capture significant share. Duplify ‑ Duplicate & Copy is the standout mover this month, climbing 15 positions — a momentum signal worth tracking. Worth noting: the top-ranked app and the highest-share app aren't the same here — App Store rank and our market share metric (computed from review counts and other factors) move on independent dynamics, so cross-checking both views matters in this category.
